Story

Hi, I’m Connor 🐾 I’m 1½ years old. I’m looking for a calm, patient forever home. I was rescued from a country road as a skinny, scared puppy, so I can be shy and nervous at first. When I’m afraid, I may bark or nip — I just need time to feel safe. I’m a slow burn, but once I trust you, I’m completely loyal and loving. I am very treat-motivated, which makes training with positive reinforcement a great way to help me continue building confidence. I respond best to patience, consistency, and kindness. Harsh corrections or raised voices only make me more afraid. I do best with women or very gentle, quiet people. I’d prefer to be the only pet and likely wouldn’t do well with kids. I require regular activity and stimulation. I love toys, bones, walks, running, cuddles, and watching squirrels from the window. I’m house broken, kennel trained, leash trained, and not food aggressive! With patience and positive reinforcement, I’ll be your devoted best friend. Please give me a chance 🤍

Story

My father passed away 12/24/2025 at 4:19am surrounded by loved ones after a long battle with cancer. He left two dogs, his wish was that they were well taken care of. My father has never known a bad dog; they could ugly, mean, and (as most dogs are) a pain in the rear and he would say the same thing about them. Oh they're good dogs! Sissy is the dog we are hoping to get adopted, she's still fairly young around 4 years old. Currently lives on a 40 acre property and likes to go out and run but likes to sleep in doors and get some cuddles. She does get along with other dogs but it takes her awhile to warm up to them, she'll start off scared and shy and might snap if they get her in to a corner but does start to warm up after about a week or two. When she gets bored she often gets what we call "sissy" fits where she rolls around and screams at whoever will give her attention. I had more here but ran out of room. Please love her. Please care for her.
