Story
Indy is the sweetest, most cuddly girl. She is no longer in the feisty-teenage Pitbul era, and is more chill and able to be enjoyed inside. She still plays but doesn't get into trouble like some young Pitbuls do. She is well-trained and has never had an accident during our care. She loves the kids and our other dog. Indy was brought home from the Franklin County animal shelter December 2023. She lived happily with my neighbors in their home with children. When the adults decided to separate in November 2025, neither person could take Indy. Instead of allowing them to take Indy to the shelter, we agreed to keep her and foster her until we found the right family for Indy. We cannot keep her because she chases our cats. She has never hurt them, but it isn't a safe environment for the cats. Indy loves our other dog, and children of all ages. She is cuddly, sweet and such a good dog!

Story
We took him in about 4 years ago from a friend that had a litter. At the time we lived in the country. Unfortunately some stuff came up and we had to move to town. Now I've got no where to keep him. He is super sweet, and he has always been a good boy. We are sad to have to do this. But we have to let him go.

Story
We have owned River since he was weened. He's now 3 yrs old. He is a small "quarter Doodle" mix between a Golden Retriever and a Golden doodle. He is a good dog, but very excitable. We hoped this would pass with age, but it has not. He demands much attention but never seems satisfied. We have an older Golden Retriever as well and the two are inseparable, but when we give them attention it generates increasing excitement between them. River needs a home where he is the owners best friend and constant companion. He is good with his companion dog Hank, but like any sibling, they have "words" from time to time. He is trained to a crate for nighttime and when we are away from home. He is not allowed on the furniture and rests comfortably on a dog bed when my wife and I are relaxing. We have had good success with a wireless fencing collar, but need to monitor carefully during power outages of when in need of a battery charge.

Story
Meet Lucy 🤍🖤 Lucy is a sweet, black-and-white young pup just over a year old with the softest eyes and the gentlest heart. She’s one of those dogs who truly wants to do the right thing — eager to please, affectionate, and tuned into her people. Lucy already knows her basic commands like sit, stay, lay down, come, and even “go home” to her crate. She’s crate-trained, very gentle, and responds beautifully to calm guidance and routine. She’s the kind of dog who learns quickly because she genuinely wants to make you happy. She loves to play fetch, enjoys being active, and then is perfectly content curling up nearby to relax. Lucy has a calm, loving presence and would thrive with someone who enjoys spending time with their dog — whether that’s playing outside, going for walks, or cozy evenings at home. Lucy would do best in a home where she can get regular activity, continued training, and lots of affection.

Story
We acquired Poppy as a puppy shortly after her birth from the humane society. She is now 2 years old. She needs some space to run loves to go on walks. She is highly energetic. Loves to cuddle and loves to be in your lap. High strung coonhound mix and will sniff out anything. Would love to discuss our issues with anyone willing to listen. She has issues with being very protective of whomever she is with and is not good around cats. She does interact well with other dogs. She did fine at daycare when we would take her.
