Story
She's been with the family for her entire life 13 years. Great family dog. So sweet and kind. Not as energetic as she used to be. My parents are older and have major health issues. We need to place her by November 4th. We really don't want her to be in a bad situation. I took a flight to help them until we placed her. Thanks for your assistance in this matter it is really appreciated 👍

Story
Meet Cooper, a sweet and loyal 5-year-old pup looking for a calm, loving home. He is a playful companion who enjoys spending time with his favorite people and loves a good game or walk. Due to some anxiety around young children, he would do best in a quieter, adult-only household where he can feel safe and relaxed. He has Addison disease, which is well-managed with daily medication and regular vet care, and he continues to live a happy, active life. He hasnt had much interaction with other dogs, so slow introductions would be best if you have pets. If youre looking for a gentle, devoted friend to share your days with, cooper would make a wonderful addition to your home.

Story
Pet was acquired in Hawaii by our Marine grandson and was stationed in VA and his wife left him and he is now being sent to El Paso, TX and will not be able to take him. Grandson has asked us to help him find a new home. We are 75 years old with dog allergies and are unable to have him in our home. Being housed in my husband's work shed. Elmo is 3 yrs old and we have medical paperwork for him. Loves attention. Please help as this environment is not healthy for the dog or us as senior grandparents.

Story
Meet Jax! He is over 6 years old and was adopted in December 2020 from a local shelter in the Lehigh Valley. He originally came from Texas, and he has been a part of our lives for several years. Jax may come across as tough, loud, or intimidating at first because he isn’t the biggest fan of strangers. But underneath that tough exterior is a big baby who absolutely loves his family and the people he knows and trusts. Once you’re in his circle, you’ll see just how sweet and affectionate he can be. Jax LOVES attention, being petted, and especially belly rubs. He will practically beg you for more! His favorite things include laying in the sunshine, relaxing in the grass, and playing with his toys. Because he has been used to a quieter home for the past few years, I believe he would do best in a home without other pets or children, with someone who understands his personality and is willing to give him the time and space he needs to feel comfortable and safe.

Story
Bowie is 6 years old and an amazing companion. He is loyal and playful, but also good for a a lazy day doing absolutely nothing. He does well with older kids, but does not get along with other dogs or cats. Bowie would do best in a home with someone who is retired or works from home as he does not do well with long separations. Bowie is mostly Beagle, so walks definitely require patience for sniffing all of the new smells. Bowie is very protective and will alert you whenever he hears something out of place. He can be crated for short periods of time, but he prefers to be out and about with his human.

Story
I have had Max since he was a month old. He is trained with basic commands. He is regularly around my 3 year old daughter and I never had issues and at one point he lived with 2 cats and is currently living with my mom and brothers dog without issue. I'm working 3-5 days a week and regularly have my daughter. When I work I am gone sometimes 14-15 hours a day. My dad is 73 and has 2 other dogs he cares for and just can't do it. I really need to rehome him. He is missing his R eye and gets drops in his L eye I will supply the remaining drops and food I have. He has very mild arthritis in the hind legs and takes 1 dasequin tablet at night with dinner. I buy his food off chewy, he gets diarrhea easy when switching foods. A yard that he can run in will be ideal. I'll also supply a shock collar I use for when he is off leash in case he tries to run, leash and toys. Interview in person with max will be required.
