Story
Lizzie was adopted from a hoarder situation. She is up to date with all shots and is now healthy. Unfortunately they had to pull all of her teeth. But that doesn’t stop her from eating. She eats everything. She loves pork chop bones. She is fine with other dogs and children as long as they don’t stay too long. She needs to be in a home where she is the only dog and no children so she can get 100% of the cuddles. If you are home most of the time would be even better. She is a sweet pup but she has issues being brought up in a home with 82 other dogs. She is house broken some but needs more training. She will go outside but you need to watch for the signals. She will use a pee pad most times. I hate having to give her up. I’ve had her for 9 months and she still hasn’t accepted my other pup. Lizzie is 8 years old and runs around the back yard like she is 1. She loves riding in a car. She loves sleeping next to you. She needs to be loved.

Story
Reese was adopted in 2018. She did not have the best past when I got her. She is such a sweet dog when it comes to humans but recently has been getting more aggressive towards other animals, especially her sister of 6 years. Reese was given her name from my favorite chocolate bar, Reese peanut butter cups. We always tell everyone her name is Reese cups. She also has the nickname Cups. She is the most loyal dog I have ever adopted. Reese loves to cuddle under the covers and give lots of kisses. She loves stuffed animals to death. They are her favorite toy, even though her favorite part of them is ripping out the stuffing. She is very energetic and loves to play tug-of-war. This is a very hard decision for our family to rehome her but it is going to be the best thing for her. We want her to have the love, hugs and kisses 24/7. I just want her to go to a good home.

Story
Binx - 4 1/2 yrs old blue pitbull. She is house trained and potty trained. She is also crate trained. She has been up to date with all of her shots. She does have minor allergies, so she is on Apoquel (allergy medicine for dogs) once a day or every other day. We use Nonantum Veterinary Clinic, they are awesome. Binx is a great dog overall, requires a lot of play time & daily walks (which she does great with walks). She has been very well trained by a licensed trainer. However, she requires a home without children and no other pets. Unfortunately, we cannot keep her due to having a baby years after getting Binx as a puppy. She has shown a little resentment and doesn’t coexist well with our child and we do have another on the way. She hasn’t harmed our child, but there have been signs where I don’t feel comfortable leaving them alone together. Overall, she really is a great dog, just best without children.

Story
I have to start by stating that it is very difficult for us to consider rehoming Moxie. She is a 7 year old Pit/German Shepherd/Coonhound mix. We adopted her from a shelter back in a time when our schedules enabled us to give her lots of love and attention. Additionally, our new baby is exhibiting signs of an allergy. She is so wonderful with our kids (3 mo old baby and 2.5 y/o). She let’s our toddler pull on her and climb all over her. She ignores the baby. She loves playing with other dogs— although she may bark at them while on leash. She just wants to play with cats but they can get annoyed with her relentless curiosity… She spends most of her day sleeping on her dog bed upstairs and loves when she can sunbathe in the yard and on the deck. While she used to be very active, she’s pretty low maintenance now. She can get anxious about loud noises and barks to protect the house. Moxie deserves the best owner(s) with room on their couch (and in their hearts) to snuggle an 80 pound mutt.

Story
Marley is a sweet 2-year-old neutered boy looking for his forever home. He is an Australian Shepherd up to date on shots, excellent on a leash, friendly with children and a snuggler - but not a kisser! Marley may need to be the only dog in the family, he gets along with dog visitors but maybe not as a permanent sibling. His current sibling does not like Marley's playfulness. If you have another dog, let's make a play date and see how they do! Please call/text (xxx) xxx-xxxx for more information or to schedule a meet and greet. This could be your guy!
