Story
Apollo came into my life in an unexpected way. About a year and a half ago, I met a man who was going through a difficult time and could no longer care for him. It was clear that Apollo was loved, but he needed a stable home and a fresh start. I took him in, and he has been a loyal companion ever since. Apollo is a Coonhound/Husky mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He is house-trained, affectionate, and loves being around people. He enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring, and being part of whatever his family is doing. He forms strong bonds with his people and is happiest when he can be included in daily life. Apollo is energetic and would do best with an owner who can provide regular exercise, attention, and companionship. He is friendly with people and loves meeting new friends. Finding Apollo a new home has been an incredibly difficult decision, but my goal is to find him a family that can give him the time, activity, and love he deserves.

Story
Name: Luna Age: 2 years old I’m looking for a loving, stable and responsible home for Luna with someone who understands that she needs structure, patience, exercise and continued training. She is incredibly smart and has made a lot of progress with training. She follows commands, knows several tricks and listens very well, especially in the home. She loves going for walks, visiting parks and being active. She does not get along with every dog, so she needs a home that is willing to be mindful of that and give her space from other dogs when needed mostly in parks. Most importantly, I want someone who will be patient with her, continue the training she has worked so hard on, and truly make her part of the family. AGAIN Luna has also completed professional training and has come a long way. She is very responsive to commands and structure, and she does best with someone who will continue reinforcing what she has learned. she’s extremely smart. She was a rescue & fostered

Story
Kylo is a loving and energetic dog. My wife and I have had him his whole life. He’s 5 years old. He’s trained with basic obedience, leash training, and recall. Kylo is a BIG herding dog. He herds everyone and anything. The issue my wife and I have had with him is he herds our 13 month old son. He is non aggressive however we were unable to break him from his herding habits and due to our current living situation we are unable to completely have them separated. It breaks our heart to have him rehomed because he’s is such a loving dog and good with people and most other dogs. We are devastated however we want to do what is best for him and feel like we’ve really let him down.

Story
💕 Sweet, Friendly & Loving Border Collie/Mini Poodle Girl Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾 It breaks my heart to say that I’m looking for a loving new home for my sweet little girl. ❤️ She is a small-sized Border Collie/Mini Poodle mix with such a wonderful personality. She is sweet, friendly, house-trained, playful, affectionate, and so much fun to be around. 🥰 She loves attention, enjoys being around people, and has such a lovable personality that she quickly becomes part of the family. Unfortunately, because of my very full work schedule, I’m no longer able to give her the time, attention, and companionship she deserves. This is a very difficult decision, and I want to make sure she goes to someone who will truly love and care for her. I’m looking for a kind, loving forever home where she can get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of love. 🐶❤️ If you’re seriously interested, please message me and tell me a little about yourself and the home you can provide her.
