Story
2/5/26: URGENT Due to life circumstances (moving) foster is no longer able to house Waffles. If you have room in your home he could use a place to crash. Meet Waffles: A good boy, who's had it rough. Waffles is a 70-pound silver pitbull mix with the heart of a teddy bear. His story began with heartbreak—he and his sister Genesis were found keeping watch by their owner, who had passed away outside of his tent. Since then, Waffles has been in foster care, patiently waiting for a new chapter to begin. Waffles is a certified snuggler. He lives for love and affection—whether you’re relaxing on the couch or just passing by, he’s always up for some cuddles. He’s fully potty trained, sleeps well through the night, and is content when left home alone (especially if his dog bed is cozy and the vibes are calm). One of his favorite things? Bouncing up and down the stairs just for the fun of it. Recently, Waffles had a few low-grade mast cell tumors removed. He’s recovering beautifully and still full of joy, love, and curiosity. His adopters should be prepared to keep an eye on his skin and stay in touch with a vet for any future concerns—but for now, he’s doing great and loving life. Waffles does well on walks, enjoys the fresh air, and is food-motivated and trainable. He prefers to be the only dog in the home (unless carefully matched), but his affection for humans knows no bounds. If you’re looking for a deeply loyal, low-key companion with a heart full of love and a snuggle quota that never runs out—Waffles might just be your guy.

Story
This is Frito! Yes, like the chips. He is a loving and playful boy. He spends most of the day lounging around the house but has big energy for play and walks in the afternoon. Frito is house broken but he is still a puppy so requires supervision to not chew on things. He gets along well with his human family members. However, he is not very friendly with dogs. Frito is very very shy at first and takes a while to warm up to new people. Can be bought with treats and once he warms up to you he is a loyal friend.

Story
We are looking to rehome our 6-year-old male Boykin Spaniel. He is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves attention and being close to his people. He has a high energy level and thrives with regular exercise, outdoor time, and mental stimulation. He’s a great companion and incredibly loyal. He would do best in an active home that can give him the time and attention he needs to stay happy and fulfilled. While he has been around children, we believe he would be better suited for a home without kids, where he can have a calmer, more predictable environment. He needs to be an only dog. We will not allow him to go to a home that has children. We believe he would do best with a retired veteran, possibly a canine officer, or a male who enjoys hunting, fishing, going to the lake, etc. He needs someone with a dominate personality. We’re committed to finding him the right fit where he can continue to be loved and well cared for.

Story
Rusty is a very loving supportive dog! He is amazing with my yellow lab Daisy they play all the time. However he is not fond of a lot of other dogs it takes a lot of getting used to for him needs a lot of attention. Rusty has one eye and severe thunderstorm anxiety or any rain for that matter. I work long hours and am gone a lot and he needs more attention than I can give him looking for a good family or person to take him in!

Story
Baxton is 7 years old and he is a very sweet boy. However, the issue I have is that I have another dog who is older and she likes to bark. When she starts barking, Baxton will nip at her to get her to stop and she will nip back. That leads to them getting in a fight. With my female dog being almost 14 years old and not as physically capable as Baxton what ends up happening is Baxton dominates her. He has never caused any serious injuries, but I think it's unfair to my older dog that she can't live her life without getting in a fight with Baxton.He is very loving with human beings and loves affection. I do think he may have some separation anxiety issues because he will druel and bark for a little bit when being left alone. We wanted to get him a bone to occupy him when he is left alone, but what we found was with our older dog and him living in the same household they will fight over the bone.I'd love to find him a loving home versus turning him into our county shelter.

Meet Greta 🐶I’ve had Greta since she was a puppy, and she has grown into a very smart, loyal, and well-behaved dog. She’s been trained not to bark excessively and has a calm, friendly personality.Greta does great around kids and gets along well with other dogs. I’m not completely sure how she is with cats or other small animals (like birds or reptiles), but she’s very treat-motivated and responds well to training.This is a really hard decision, but I’m moving and can’t take her with me. I want to make sure she goes to a loving, responsible home where she’ll be cared for and appreciated.If you’re interested or have any questions, please message me. I’d be happy to tell you more about her.
