Story
Mercy is a sweetheart that is amazing if shes the only dog in the household, unless with someone with experience. She's been my whole heart for the past year, but im unable to give her the things she needs for her to thrive. I found her at 2 am in the middle of the highway with a choke collar on so tight I had to cut it off of her.Then I got attatched and tried to give her the best I can, but its not enough. Now I have to move and im unable to bring her with me.

Story
Remy is our very own "Diva," fur-baby. We acquired her from a family member who is also a breeder. She is a few months passed 2y/o. Born 11/10/2022. Our ideal new home for her would be one full of love, and affection. She is full of energy and loves kids. Nothing excites her more than the sound of kids' laughter along with her food bowl being filled. She is house-trained and is familiar with basic commands. She is also very protective and will most assuredly alert you to someone pulling up in the driveway. A quick sniff for recognition purposes and she's back to minding her own business. Call her name and she can't get to you quick enough in her mind so be prepared for the quick sound of paws hurrying in your direction for some kisses and belly rubs.

Details

Story
Dixie is a sweet, almost 10-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/hound mix with wonderful manners and a calm, people-loving temperament. She's fully potty trained, knows all her basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, come, and more), and enjoys nothing more than being close to her family. Her favorite things include gentle attention, exploring outdoors, and soaking up the sunshine. She gets along well with other dogs and cats in the home, though she isn't especially playful with them and prefers human companionship. Dixie is active and happy to go for walks or runs, spend time in a fenced yard, or relax outside, but she'll always choose being indoors with her people when they're home. She maintains a healthy 55 lbs and eats standard dry food at her own pace. Dixie is up to date on all care, including her rabies vaccine, which is valid through 2027. She does experience some separation anxiety and can become stressed in boarding or vet environments, so she prefers to not be left alone for hours.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ryder is the sweetest dog who loves every person and dogs of all ages. She will be two on March 27th and needs a family that has time to spend with her and time to take her on walks, play fetch, and time to just love on. We got Ryder from a breeder one week before I found out I was pregnant and at the time we thought we could manage a young dog and a baby, but unfortunately we cannot find the time for her that she deserves. She is so good with our baby and she is so sweet to us so this has been the toughest decision we have made as a family but she deserves so much more than we are able to give her right now. She is house and leash trained and she knows simple commands such as sit and lay but could learn so much more if the time is spent with her.

Story
Meet Cosmo! Cosmo is a 4–5-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer with a big heart, a happy spirit, and energy for days. He’s everything people love about the breed, athletic, affectionate, and always ready for his next adventure with his favorite humans. Cosmo truly loves people. He’s friendly, sweet, and enjoys spending time with adults, kids, and other dogs. He’s the kind of pup who wants to be part of whatever you’re doing, whether that’s heading out for a walk, tossing a ball, or just hanging out together. We don’t know much about Cosmo’s past, but what we do know is that he’s eager to learn and wants to please. While he hasn’t had a ton of formal training yet, he’s already making great progress in foster care and picking things up quickly with consistency and positive guidance. Cosmo will do best in a home that understands and embraces the GSP lifestyle, including: Experience with active breeds or a willingness to learn Daily exercise and mental enrichment Ongoing work on leash skills and basic manners Because Cosmo is energetic and vocal, apartment living isn’t the right fit for him. He’s happiest when he has room to move and a job to do, whether that’s running, hiking, training, playing, or exploring alongside his people. Cosmo comes with some great basics already in place: Neutered Heartworm negative Up to date on vaccines Crate trained House trained Dog and kid friendly Would do best in a home with no cats If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, athletic companion who will keep you moving and fill your days with love and adventure, Cosmo may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Meet Moose (aka Moosey!) Moose is an adorable 7–8 week old puppy, weighing in at about 10 pounds, and he’s everything you’d hope for in a little fluff ball, super sweet, extra cuddly, and full of typical puppy charm. He happily answers to "Moosey", loves kids and other dogs, and enjoys being part of whatever his people are doing. Moose does have some puppy nibbling, which is completely age-appropriate and something he’s already learning to work through with guidance and consistency! Moose is doing great with crate training, potty training, and learning basic commands. He sleeps through the night, loves his chew toys, and is settling beautifully into his routine. As he grows, we’ll continue learning more about his personality, but so far he’s proving to be a confident, affectionate, and eager-to-please pup. Mosse is: - Approximately 10 weeks old (as of Jan 29th) - Around 10 pounds - Friendly with kids, other dogs, and cats - Doing well with crate training and potty training - Up to date on age-appropriate vaccines Like all puppies, Moose will need continued structure, training, and patience as he grows, but he is thriving in his foster home and is off to a wonderful start. If you’re looking for a cuddly, playful puppy to grow up with your family, Moose might be your perfect match!
