Story
Poeseidon is a good dog who needs to be in a new home. He currently lives with his siblings and other dogs but is very food protective around other pets so would be recommended to be an only dog.He is crate trained and behaves while in the crate. He is good with kids but definitely needs an experienced owner who is familiar with the breed. A lot has happened to where we can no longer keep him. He will come with his kennel, dog bed. Food container and leash. We are trying so hard to make sure he doesn't go to a shelter please consider adopting him hes a good dog and deserves a good life

Story
   Meet Russ Russ is a 3-year-old sweetheart who was saved just moments before being euthanized from the “back kennels” of an overcrowded shelter — the place no dog should ever have to see. He was so loved by the volunteers who cared for him that they worked tirelessly to make sure his story didn’t end there. Because of them, Russ was given the chance at a new life. Despite a rough past that left him with scars from an embedded collar and old lacerations, Russ’s heart is nothing but gentle and loving. He adores people and has been wonderful with other dogs in his training environment. Like all dogs, he does best with slow, thoughtful introductions, but he has shown himself to be social, respectful, and friendly with canine companions. Russ is currently in training so we can continue learning more about him — and he has been an absolute star. He is: House trained Crate trained Working on basic obedience Calm, affectionate, and eager to please He has shown incredible resilience, trust, emotional growth, and a super love of cuddling ;) in such a short time. Now, he’s ready for the next chapter: a foster or forever home where he can finally feel safe, loved, and part of a family. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a soulful gaze, a gentle nature, who loves to cuddle with a powerful second-chance story, Russ may be your perfect match. Adopt or foster Russ and be the happy ending to the story so many people came together to change. January 21, 2026, 9:17 pm
