Story
Meet Kepler and Major Tom: Bonded 9-year-old brothers looking for a loving, child-free home together. Kepler (50 lbs, possible Kelpie/Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix) is an athletic, alert pup who loves chasing squirrels and cuddling with his people. Major Tom (45 lbs, possible Corgi/Heeler/Beagle mix) is his sweet, teddy bear-like sidekick to Kepler; gentle, affectionate, and happy to tag along on walks and adventures. They were adopted separately from a FL shelter but became inseparable best friends. Kepler thrives in quiet environments and struggles to relax around our new young children. Major Tom has manageable medical needs (insulin and thyroid meds twice daily). Both are house-trained, affectionate, and happiest together. They need a home with no kids or small pets, and a loving human to give them the peaceful life they deserve. They're more than pets, they’re companions and lifelong best friends. They’ve brought so much love and joy into our home, and have so much more to give.

Story
MEET RAVEN! She is a spunky girl with a spitfire to run and run and run, she is a very loving dog, but she does like her space and to be left alone at times, since she is getting older she mostly just lays down and rest. She doesn really play she might for a second if you can get her too. I don’t think she happy to be in the city with me, she will run away and think it is a game because she was never properly trained, I am moving to the midtown area and it would devastate me if she were to get out there and get hit because it is such a high traffic area. I truly think she would be happy on a farm with people who are going to love her and just let her run for the last few years of her life. That would feel me with content gonna miss her too death and would like to have an open adoption so I can still get updates on how sheis doing and I would want to know when she passes away. Her diet consists of boiled chicken and rice she hasn’t been fed anything else.

Story
This sweet boy got off to a rough start so he needs a little time to trust new folks, but after that few minutes he's lively and loves to play. He found what he hoped would be his furever home a few years back, but sadly his dad is in the military and had to move. I'm fostering until we can find the best home possible for him. He gets along well with other high energy dogs but is a bit much for my guardian dogs. Toudou would love a home where he can play, go jogging with you or romp around with another dog with his energy. He loves to play and wants to be with his person. If you want a fun companion he's your guy. Give me a call if you are interested in adopting this guy. I would love to keep him, but with chickens and cats, I just can't give him the permanent home he deserves.

Freya is a high energy pup and is ready for adventure! She loves people, she gets along with other dogs for the most part, however she has had issues with certain dogs in the past and can be protective of her food. She requires a lot of exercise and attention! Freya loves going for long walks or jogs, playing fetch and frisbee, and chewing on a good solid bone. Freya is seeking a loving family who can handle her high energy and understands that she still needs training.

Charlie is very energetic dog who loves people. He sometimes forgets how big he is and can be a little clumsy. He has had basic training and excels at sitting, staying, shake, and spins. Walks well with a no pull harness however fetch is not his choice of playtime. He’s done well with children around toddler age and above, we just think he needs more attention

Story
Hi everyone, unfortunately here looking to rehome our sweet Lady. Lady (yes her name is lady) is a 65 lb 5 year old boxer/mastiff mix, in my time with her she has never had any problems with people. she is however not good with other dogs so shes most likely best as an only dog. She has some separation issues, so she would be best in a home where at least someone is home at all times OR in a home with a yard so she can have her own area. She has a great relationship with my cat korra, they sleep together and play together. So cats aren’t out of the question! She is great with kids as well, she pretty much just lets them do whatever they want with her. She is an extremely sweet dog, and I think any family would be lucky to have her. Unfortunately I have to let her go, I just cant provide her all she needs anymore. She needs someone home, and/or a yard. Please don’t hesitate to reach out whenever you see this, I wont be taking these posts down until we find lady the right home!
