Story
Zella has been our baby since she was born—we own her dad also. She’ll be 8 yrs old in October & unfortunately she was diagnosed a couple years ago with hypothyroidism. With 2 kids & another on the way along with me not being able to work, we can no longer afford her medications. I’d love for her to be in a home where she can get the proper care/meds she needs so she can keep living a high quality life. She’s such a sweetheart, very good with kids (we have toddlers), other dogs & cats. As bad as it breaks our hearts to even write this post, we just want her to have a better life than what we are able to give right now. **She does have some fur loss from missing medications unfortunately (you can see a bit on her chest in last pic) but with her meds (thyroid pill + med shampoo) it will be back within just a few weeks.

Koda is a great dog who just needs loved and attention. I have three kids and he is great with them. He is off leash trained and just needs the time and attention that I don’t have for him.

Story
We adopted Luke from a local shelter in March 2026. He is now approximately 8-9 months old. Shortly after he settled in our home he began showing signs of resource guarding (his food and me) We moved his food to a private location and don’t allow him to interact with us when we feed him but his guarding of me has become unsafe for my children. He does not like when they approach me or are around me. He needs someone experienced with this behavior and I would recommend no children in the home. He is up to date on all vaccinations, house trained, does well on a leash, and is not reactive to neighbors-dogs- kids while in our yard or going for walks. His barking is minimal and he sleeps through the night in my bedroom. He loves going on adventures to the park and dog friendly stores. He is a wonderful dog if it was just myself, but as much as we’ve worked with him we just don’t feel comfortable with him around the kids (age 9-15). Please someone give him a good home!

Story
💔 Looking for a special home for Hazel 💔 This is incredibly hard for us to post because Hazel is truly a good girl and we love her so much. She is sweet, loved, and up to date on all of her vaccinations. Unfortunately, Hazel has a very high prey drive and has killed cats, which means we can no longer safely keep her in our home. Because of this, she absolutely needs a home with NO cats or other small animals. We are devastated and want to do everything possible to find Hazel a safe, appropriate home where she can thrive. She deserves people who understand her and can give her the right environment. 🖤 Please no judgment—this decision is breaking our hearts, and we are trying to do what is safest for everyone involved. If you or someone you know may be interested in giving Hazel the right home, please message me for more information. 🐾🖤 Please share so we can find this good girl the safe home she deserves.
