Story
Billy is nearly 2 yrs old, and generally a sweet 200lb boy, who gets along well with his companion female Dane and with our cat, but he has behavior problems that we can no longer handle. He continues to chew furniture and destroy cushions; if he gets excited on walks he will sometimes jump up and knock down us or a passerby trying to play; most significantly, a couple weeks ago he squeezed partially under our chain link fence and grabbed a dog running free that was visiting our neighbor.We had never seen aggressive behavior from him before. We have had many Danes over the last 30 years but have never had problems like these. We are now in our early 70s, and I have cancer, and we are just not strong or wise enough to deal with him. We hope to find him a home with someone who can invest the time and energy to calm his wilder instincts and enjoy the beautiful, sweet, goofy dog he can be.He loves to meet people and does so calmly if under control..

Story
We got Tater from someone about an hour away at 8 weeks old. Tater is 2.5 years old. I want him to have a home more equipped for dogs such as someone who is home more often, a large fenced in yard and can keep an eye on him. When he is bored he will chew things. He is very playful, knows at least 5 basic commands. He is very trainable. He needs groomed every six weeks.

Story
Meet Pixie! This 11-month-old, 38lb golden girl is a true survivor with a heart of gold. She’s crate trained and mostly house trained, and does well with other dogs. Pixie recovered from a severe dog attack and has some permanent damage to her front leg—but you’d hardly notice, and it doesn’t slow her down at all. She’s a total “velcro dog” who just wants to be close to her person and soak up all the love. If you want a deeply devoted companion, Pixie is your girl.

Story
Meet Joey 🖤🐾 At just 11 months old and 33 lbs, Joey is the perfect medium-sized companion with a heart as big as his puppy eyes. This handsome black pup is the total package—playful, gentle, and already showing what an amazing family dog he’s going to be. Joey has been thriving in his foster home! He’s living with five dogs and two cats and has done beautifully with everyone. He loves to play, takes corrections respectfully from other dogs, and easily matches the energy of his friends—whether they’re social butterflies or a bit more selective. He’s still got that fun puppy energy, but it’s balanced with a sweet, easy-going personality. Joey is doing great with his routine—no accidents so far with regular potty breaks—and he’s already crate trained, settling in nicely and sleeping quietly through the night. One of Joey’s most endearing qualities is his gentle curiosity. New textures or unfamiliar objects might make him a little cautious at first, but he bravely investigates and quickly gains confidence. It’s honestly the cutest thing to watch. ✨ Dog friendly ✨ Cat friendly ✨ Crate trained ✨ Doing great with housetraining ✨ Sweet, playful, and eager to learn Joey doesn’t jump on furniture, has wonderful house manners for a pup, and most importantly—he’s just pure goodness. The kind of dog that quietly works his way into your heart and never leaves. He’s going to make someone incredibly happy. Could that be you? 🐶💛
