Story
Lucy is an adorable Border Collie mix with a great smile! She loves going on long walks and even sits politely when you leash her to go outside. Lucy enjoys traveling and is a great running partner. She loves snuggles and belly rubs. Lucy does well with sleeping on her own, with free access to her crate. She is a good listener, and overall well-behaved other than her jealousy/aggression issues. She is an anxious dog and we have given her calming medications in the past. Lucy was originally owned by a relative that adopted her from a shelter. Our relative could no longer care for her because of how active Lucy is. Our relative had a chihuahua and three other cats that Lucy did well with. From what we have seen in the past, Lucy does well with kids. We have seen that she must warm up to younger men.

Story
We adopted Draper from a shelter in VA at 8 weeks old. His mother and siblings were found under a trailer very sick in the cold. Sadly, His mother and 4 of his siblings died. Draper is incredibly smart and loving. He has anxiety that we started treating at 2 years old. We have an older dog in the home and they have occasional issues but in general cohabitate. Draper also plays with day care dogs in a rural setting with an experienced dog trainer. We often visit the mountains and notice a complete positive change with Draper when he is out of an urban setting. He is happy and playful and free. We believe he needs a more rural setting than our urban home.

Story
We’ve had Millie since 2014 and she’s 11 years old. As our family has grown from no kids when we got her, to 3 kids now, she has become more and more anxious. She’s now on Prozac but is still unhappy on daily life. She does not like change. She needs a home with no young kids and a consistent lifestyle. She is a world class snuggler and her two great joys in life are being loved and going on walks. She’s in great physical shape and recently had her teeth cleaned.

Story
Loves food with chicken and salmon He prefers kibble size food or soft food bigger kibbles he does not do well with table food unless it is chicken and rice loves to run around the house in circles as if he was outside maybe because I do not have a fence for him to do that activity outside. Indoors pet he cries when left outside too long. Loving pet to have he is crate trained and house broken will stand at the door to go potty and make a loud cry if he needs to go outside to poop. Have had him since he was 6 weeks old he was hyper for me to put in my small cat to take to the vet since he was smaller but he is regularly bath which he does well with little to no shedding. Spoiled pup so a little tender love and care plus a little more training and activities he will be the best pet ever

Dougie is 11 months old, he was a gift to my grandson, a teen student persuing his education. We are looking for help rehoming him due to the surgery cost. I don't want him to be put down if he goes to a shelter. The surgery is approximately 5,000 USD it Is prolapsed purse reinsertion. With all of the costs of taking him back and forth to appointments with no answers, I have exhausted all of my family's financial resources and I am barely able to take of us including Dougie as a part of my family.

Story
I got Oreo a year ago. I fall in love with his character. Very smart and yet very silly. Oh, yes he will talk back at you. He is home trained and loves kids. He is pack animal and he does very well with family. Very playful. He has a undeniable personality. With my new job traveling, and rest of family not giving him enough time, I am looking for a family that can adopt him and give him the time and love that he needs. If you are someone who likes outdoor then this dog is for you. Siberian Huskies are renowned for their distinctive personalities, blending intelligence, independence, and an inherent sense of adventure. Bred originally by the Chukchi people of Siberia for sledding, these dogs possess a strong work ethic and an undying stamina. Their friendly disposition extends to both people and other dogs, making them amiable companions and suitable for families. However, their independent streak can sometimes translate into stubbornness, requiring firm but gentle training to home
