His name is Rocco. He is from one of my German Import breed 5 years ago. He is a purebred full German rottie with a tail. He weighs about 125-130#.The original owners bought him as a pup but they had to relocate overseas and as a breeder I said I’d take him back.He is a truly great dog and anyone he meets knows that the minute they meet him.

Story
Name: Cricket Breed: Hound/Pit Mix Sex: Female Age/Weight: 1 year, 35lbs Personality Cricket is new to the shelter, so we’re still getting to know her, but she has already made quite an impression. She is incredibly sweet, loves attention, and seems happiest when she’s getting some love. She’s a very happy girl with a constantly wagging tail! Behavior Cricket is still working on her housetraining, but she already knows “sit” and is very motivated by food, which should make training easier. At 35 lbs, she’s also a manageable size and easy to handle. She has shown interest in other dogs and so far has not displayed any reactivity or aggression toward them. As always, a meet and greet with any resident dogs will be recommended. History & Health Cricket was found wandering as a stray. She arrived dirty and underweight, but she’s already had a bath, received her vaccines, and gained a healthy appetite. She will be spayed and microchipped before adoption.

Story
🐾 Looking for a Loving Home for Remi 🩷 I’m making the difficult decision to rehome my sweet girl, Remi, due to new family allergies and an upcoming relocation. Remi is a 6-year-old female Bluetick Beagle, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccines. She’s incredibly sweet, affectionate, and happiest snuggled under blankets or right by your side. 🩷 About Remi: • Great with kids & other dogs (loves canine friends!) • Playful, loves swimming, running & sunbathing outdoors. She also loves to sit by the fireplace. • House-trained & food-motivated • Protective & loyal Remi thrives on companionship and has mild separation anxiety, so she needs a home where someone is around often. A securely fenced yard is best so she can safely explore and sniff. She comes with her crate, leash, food, and treats. Rehoming fee: $200 (to ensure a serious, committed home).

Story
Finnegan is 5 years old. He is your typical Boxer. He has lots of energy, protective, loving, loyal, loves playing in the yard, and is friendly, He is aloof towards other dogs when we on on walks however he is very protective of our property and anyone or animal entering in to our property. Finn is an unknown on how he would interact with other dogs. He does have a torn ACL in his left knee but it doesn’t slow him down. We just limit his running around. Our kids are now in college and my wife and I work two jobs and just don’t have the time for him that he should have. Finn needs a loving home that can give him the attention that we can’t give him.

Story
Hi! My name is Reverie but everyone calls me "Revi". I also get called "Adorable" or "Cutie" alot and thats okay too. I am an Australian Cattle Dog or Red Heeler. My mom's a Red Heeler and my dad's a Blue Heeler. When i grow up, maybe I will look like my mommy. She was born red like me but she grew up & now shes Blue Merle & red. I was born on Aug 10th 2026 all alone, without any litter mates to keep me company but my toys kept me really busy. I love to play and make new friends. I get along well with other pets because I'm little and I learn really fast that making friends is fun. I might need a little help with learning new things but I can't wait to learn. I need a family that will love & keep me forever who has the patience to teach me how to be the best doggie I can be when I grow up. I am very active and I like doing everything and anything while I'm hanging out with my family learning, playing and having fun making new memories.
