Story
Lucy is the kind of dog everyone hopes to find—gentle, affectionate, and incredibly easy to love. Sweetest personality. Lucy is great with kids, dogs, and even cats. She’s fully house-trained, knows basic commands, walks well on a leash, and loves to be around her people. She loves car rides and playing frisbee. She’s the perfect mix of playful and snuggly—happy to go on walks or just curl up next to you. Lucy is: ✔️ Spayed ✔️ Up to date on all shots ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Well-behaved and social She would do great in a home where she can get love, attention, and be part of the family. I’m including all of her supplies (crate, bed, leash, training collar, toys, etc.) to make the transition easy. 💰 Rehoming fee: $150 (negotiable for the right home) I am open to doing a trial to make sure it's a good fit for new family and Lucy. If not, I will happily take her back.

Story
Nova came to our house as a puppy. She is 8 years old. She is a mixed boxer breed and very gentle. She likes to cuddle. She eats dry dog food. She loves to run outside. In the house she is a good watch dog and will bark at any sounds which is usually people walking past or someone in the driveway. Other than that she is very quiet. She loves to be petted and brushed. I am sorry to have to rehome her but my landlord won't allow dogs and family cannot keep her.

Story
Bailey was about a year old when she was rescued from an unhealthy environment. She is now 7 yrs old. She loves to run outside and chase squirrels. In the house she is a good watch dog and will bark at any sounds she hears outside which is usually people walking past or someone who is in the driveway. She is not a picky eater and eats dry dog food. She is a gentle dog who loves to be petted and brushed. She likes to lay down near people. She has a great smile! I would love to see her have a home in the country or at least a fenced in yard where she has room to run and play with children.

Story
This is Bacon🤎🐾 (Male 2 years old)We took him in after a friend asked if there was anywhere he could go, he came from a rough place and we needed to get him out of that situation!Bacon loves to cuddle, play, and lounge around!He is very intelligent and quiet, he doesn’t bark much at all unless something is wrong (for the most part he watches his owner to see how they feel about to situation)He’s protective and loving to his people and loves loves loves to follow you around like a duckling! ( VERY NOSY😂)He’s very friendly to other people not in your household and loves to play with anyone or talk anyone out of some pets and scratches!When he first came to us he didn’t even know what toys were and had NO clue how to play!😢💔Now he’s learning tons of new ways to play it’s so sweet 🥹Bacon would probably do best with someone who is home often to make sure he gets the best attention and exercise his body needs as a German shepherd or Farm/Land
