Story
Hello. I have a young grandson that frequents my home, and for some reason my dog targets him. Almost a jealousy thing I think. If he touches her, she will snarl. She’s not safe to have in my home. She has a high prey drive. I have a male dog that she resource guards me, food, and toys and will go after him. So she would be better off in a home with no small children and other pets. I did start her on Prozac, but have not noticed a difference yet. The vet doesn’t really think it will help, and suggests putting her down. I don’t have the heart to do it. I hope I can find someone who has the time to work with her, no other pets and no small kids. She has bit someone.. but it was not because she was aggressive, the child (15yo) was petting her while she was laying in her dog bed. She growled and the child continued to pet and the dog did attack. Since then, I don’t allow small kids around her or bring other animals in my home.

Story
Meet Kaos! I’ve had him since he was a puppy and he is a really good boy, just full of energy. He loves to be in the car and he loves to run around and play. He needs lots of room to play. He know some simple commands. He is also potty trained as well as crate trained. Due to super unfortunate circumstances, I have to rehome him. I just want him to be happy.

Story
2 years old • Medium-sized • Professional Goofy Ear Model 🐶💛 Nelly is a sweet, people-loving pup whose absolute favorite place to be… is right next to you. He’s a certified Velcro dog who wants a buddy to hang out with, follow around, and adore forever. Nelly’s hobbies include: ✨ Running zoomies in the yard ✨ Sticking by your side ✨ Giving big “notice me!” eyes ✨ Trying his best to understand toys (still a work in progress) He’s a silly, enthusiastic young guy who would love a home that can give him attention, reassurance, and plenty of time together. Nelly has a playful spirit and is eager to learn. He’ll thrive with someone who enjoys helping a young dog pick up good habits. His previous owner shared that he has positive interactions with kids and other pets, but since we can’t confirm that here, we always recommend slow introductions to new friends. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow with a big heart and even bigger ears, Nelly is ready to meet you! 💛🐾

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Chase is a 4-year-old Husky–Akita mix with a big heart and an adventurous spirit. Due to our daughter’s severe and worsening allergies, we must rehome him as soon as possible, and we’re urgently seeking a safe, loving new home for him. Chase is neutered and will be fully up to date on vaccinations before adoption. He’s smart, food-motivated, and eager to please. He’s been good with our kids and family but can get overexcited with new people or children, so he’ll do best with calm, confident owners who can provide clear boundaries. He loves the outdoors and needs plenty of space to run and explore freely—he truly comes alive in the snow. Chase will thrive as the only pet in an active home that can give him structure, attention, and love.
