Story
Columbus, NE - Archie - 5 year old (neutered/UTD [dob 04/2021). Was born in Sioux City, Iowa and adopted and loved by 1 owner. CALL/TEXT DAWN AT 610-787-2353. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION. Email us for an application at: dawnleemcmahon@gmail.com. He is free to a loving qualified home. Owner able and willing to transport within reason to a fabulous active loving experienced HOME. 🙂 He needs a new home due to life changes that are personal in the home, but has nothing to do with Archie. Family knows he needs more than they can give him. I required exercise, stimulation and attention/time. Family loves him so much that they know he needs better. FROM OWNER: He has grown up with my daughter and has always been such a gentle dog with kids. He has not been around alot of kids but he has always been good with the ones we welcome into our home. He has a long coat and does shed as normal with said coat. He is up to date on all shot required by vet and boarding and is on his 6mo round of heartworm. Archie has not had alot of experience with other dogs and a few times when on walks other dogs have lunged at him but I have never seen him aggressive accept for a male dog coming on the property. With that being said a single dog home or one with a female i feel would be best. Ideally I would love to see him go to an acreage or somewhere with lots of love and land. A big reason I feel it is necessary to find him his forever home is because he wants to roam. Keeping him contained in my 6ft fenced in yard has been a challenge. 10 minutes or unattended time and he's dug a 3x3 hole to go on a stroll. Due to my circumstances as a single mother with no village its become increasingly difficult to give him the attention he deserves but also financially it has been hard. I want to see him in a home where maybe someone is retired or able to spend more time with him and working with him. He is such a loving dog and has always been our protector that my daughter and I want to still get updates and see how happy he is in his new home. Maybe a visit or 2 a year if allowed and wanted. We just want everyone involved to be happy!

Story
My wife and I are making the toughest decision to re-home our amazing blue nose, Luna! We got her as a puppy (8ish weeks old) in 2020 and have had her ever since. Since then weve had our son and daughter and need to go out of town quite often - we just don't have the bandwidth for Luna. We'd love someone to give her an exceptional 2nd half of her life and love her more than we do! She's been great with our kids and great with almost every dog we know but sometimes can get stressed if a dog is being overly annoying. She's very very lazy, loves food and loves to snuggle with anyone that will lay with her on a couch or bed!

Story
Meet Bohdi!Bodhi is a happy, playful, and very energetic lab catahoula mix who is about 9 months old! Looking to rehome him as I travel for a living and he deserves more than a camper and just someone who has more time for him as he’s very energetic and needs a job! He is house trained and crate trained. Bodhi loves people and other dogs! He does know sit, shake and stay when he wants to listen, he can be hard headed at times. Once he gets his energy out he’s a big cuddle bug. Loves running, being chased, tug of war and really anything that gets him active and keeps his mind busy. I’m looking to rehome Bodhi to a loving family who can give him the time, attention, and exercise he deserves. He has a lot of energy and would do best with people who can keep up with his active lifestyle and make him a valued part of their family.

Story
Leo (Lou) is my support pet. He is my little snuggle bug. I am disabled, and I am having some difficulty taking care of him in all the ways he needs more than just love. He wants to go on walks, and run in the dog park, he loves playing “yellow square” in the living room. He knows his toys by name. He is so special to me…but I have had one fall in the past 6 months, I am having some sight issues, and I know that he isn’t happy about my sons cat, that was a kitten who is now not. Lou, or Leo, he goes by either, well he is spoiled. He loves attention and belly rubs. And I want to add, with the current financial situation, I am unable to groom him every three months and stay current with his new vaccine updates. I can’t stress this enough. Lou has been there for me, five years in August, but I think he deserves you now. ❤️

Story
Stella gets very excited when she’s happy, and she has a lot of energy and love to give. She enjoys walks, chewing on her toys, and spending time with her family. About Stella: Name: Stella Breed: Purebred American Bully Age: 7 years old Health: Completely healthy Personality: Loving, playful, cuddly, and very excited around people Favorite things: Walks, toys, chewing, and affection 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Best Home Fit: Stella does great with older kids, but we recommend being cautious around small children because she can be a little clumsy — we lovingly call her a “rhino” because she doesn’t always realize her size and strength when she gets excited. We are rehoming Stella due to our busy family schedule and large household, and we feel she deserves more time, attention, and love than we’re able to provide right now. ❤️ Our Goal: We are not looking to take her to a shelter — we want to find her a safe, caring home where she can get the attention she deserves.

Story
Hi! I’m Porsche. 🐾✨ Yes — like the car. And honestly? The name fits. I’m about a year and a half old, full of energy, and built for movement. I’ve got that classic German Shepherd brain — smart, alert, and ready to go. But I also have a soft side that just wants attention and connection. I recently came back to the shelter after a short stay in a home. Transitions can be a lot for a young shepherd like me. Big changes, new dogs, new environments — it’s overwhelming when everything happens at once. I’m still learning how to slow down and settle when life moves fast. Here’s what I can tell you about the real me: I’m friendly. I’m sweet. I love attention. 💕 I know sit and down, and I come when you call my name. I enjoy car rides 🚗 and I’m happiest when I have something to do — especially if it squeaks! Oh… and toys? They are my thing. 🎾 If there’s a squeaker inside, I will find it. Immediately. I love fetch — although sometimes I’d rather lie down and proudly chew on the ball like I just won a championship. I can get very focused on my toys (I take play seriously!). When I first come out of a kennel, I’ve got some zoomies in me — that young shepherd energy! But once I’m in the yard and have space to move, I settle nicely. Structure helps me. Clear expectations help me. Slow introductions help me. I’m not a “throw me in the backyard and figure it out” kind of dog. I’m a “let’s build this the right way” kind of dog. With proper introductions, supervision, and guidance, I have all the potential in the world to thrive. I would do best with: A confident, experienced dog owner Structured routines Slow, thoughtful introductions to other pets Plenty of enrichment and toy time I’m young. I’m smart. I’m full of potential. And I’m ready for someone who wants to invest in me the right way. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic companion with a playful heart and a working-dog brain, I might be your girl. Let’s do this properly — together. 💛 — Porsche 🐕
