Evo, is a four-year-old Labradoodle with an energetic temperament. We need to rehome him because he is starting to have trouble with our older dog. He is very loving and cuddly toward his people. Also very smart and a good listener, loves to play and snuggle. He just has some resource guarding issues and it is starting to become a problem with our older dog.

Story
$0 adoption fee. My husband and I are so sad but need to rehome our sweet girl Nora. We have been trying to rehome her for several months. We feel desperate. She is such a good dog but there’s issues with her getting along with our family member’s small dog who we live with. She would need a home with no cats. She does great with all other sized dogs and gentle with kids. Has always loved going to the dog park. She’s 4 yrs old, around 65lbs. We’re willing to meet halfway so you can meet her if distance is an issue. We can also come to you depending on distance. We love her a lot and want her to go to a loving home.

Story
Meet Mia (aka Schmi or Miar-Piar)! Mia is estimated to be 6 years old and has been with us for almost 5 years. She is the biggest sweetheart who absolutely LOVES her people and wants nothing more than to be close to you. Her favorite place is snuggled under the covers with her head on your pillow, soaking up all the love. She loves sunbathing, chasing critters, running around outside, and then coming in to lounge beside you. Mia is dog-reactive and can bark, jump, and become stressed when she sees other dogs. We aren’t sure of the full extent of her reactivity, so she would need to be the only dog in her home. She has never shown aggression toward people and absolutely adores humans. She is patient and tolerant with our young daughter, but we believe she would thrive most in a home without young children, where she can be the center of attention. Older, respectful kids could be a great fit. Mia has so much love to give. She just needs a home where she can be someone’s whole world.

Story
💜please keep me from the humane society💜 I'm not made to be in crate or kennel💜I like to run and explore💜 Cass is a senior that sometimes thinks he's still a pup. He runs, jumps, and loves to spin and zoom around the house. We got him from a private owner that could no longer keep him. His age is unknown but has been with us over 8 years. He barks when he finds it necessary. I'm not sure if he is purebred. He is all white with striking blue eyes. He has caught and killed groundhogs that come into our back yard. Cass is fun, loving and loyal.*Finicky about treats*Forgets he's senior*All white, beautiful blue eyes*Follows his human everywhere*Loyal*Loves ear scratches and chest rubs*Quirky, talks and barks*Likes to stay close

Story
🐾 Thor is looking for a new home 🐾 Thor is a 5-year-old Labrador Retriever who is loving, playful, and great with children and cats. He has also lived with other dogs and is generally good with them. We are rehoming Thor because he has shown resource guarding around food/water with one of our other dogs, so we feel a home where this can be safely managed—or where he can be the only dog—would be the best fit. Thor is a wonderful dog, and we want to find him a home where he can thrive. ❤️ No rehoming fee — finding the right home is most important to us. Please message me if you’re seriously interested in giving Thor a home.

I have unit l 11/01/26 to vacate my homeGuy is the sweetest gentle giant I have had. He is sensitive, loving, caring, and is a wonderful companion.

He takes a prescription medication once a week for his prostate, in a spoonful of peanut butter. That medicine is approximately $11 for a 3 month supply. He also gets OTC supplement for hip and joint.
