Story
We are the wrong family for our sweet boy, Arlow.He is unhappy with our current arrangement. We are trying to find a home that would make him happier. Arlows needs:No other pets*No kids**Potentially only one owner (not a couple or a family)Would do better with a manA fenced yard (electric or physical)PatienceGentlenessSomeone fairly active and willing to walkExperienced dog ownerArlow can be aggressive and reactive. Mostly towards other pets but also humans. He bit my husband for getting in his space 6 years ago. He has not bit anyone since, but we work really hard to make sure he doesn't get the chance to. He will growl and snarl and snap if you get in between him and food or toys.He knows how to sit stay place. His recall is fairly good. He is crate trained. Has never been destructive in the home. He also stays in the yard really well. He has hound traits. He is noisy. And a hunter.

Story
Handsome MERCURY is a long and low beagle mix boy looking for a home. We believe he's mostly beagle with some basset hound somewhere in his family tree. Mercury is a sweet, friendly guy, a bit on the shy side but happy to make new friends. Mercury loves playing with his dog pals. He's around 1 year old and fully grown at 31 pounds. Mercury came to us from a rural shelter, found dumped with other beagle types. Mercury has never known life as an only dog and is best suited to a home with another friendly, playful dog. He needs a home with a physically-fenced yard to keep him from following his beagle nose into trouble. If you'd like to meet Mercury, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an appoved adopter. You can meet Mercury at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30-1:30 at PetSmart Eastgate.  Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 4, 2026, 7:15 pm

Story
SPECK is a fun, friendly social butterfly of a dog. He's a mid-sized mixed breed beauty, around 1 year old and fully grown at 38 pounds with a soft medium-length coat. Our best guesses on breeds are Labrador Retriever and English Setter plus some smaller breed(s) to account for his smaller size. Speck was surrendered to a rural shelter through no fault of his own. He's clearly been well loved and sits sweetly for treats. Speck is good with other dogs, seems indifferent to cats and just loves to be with people. If you'd like to meet this happy-go-lucky boy, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Speck at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.  Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized.

Story
Meet TEXX, an adorable little beagle mix boy looking for a home. Ignore the gray on his face, that's just his coloring. Little Texx is a young dog, about 2 years old and fully grown at just 14 pounds. We aren't sure what the"mix" part is. Maybe dachshund or chihuahua or some type of terrier? Or all of the above? He has a long and low little body. Whatever the mix, Texx is absolutely adorable. Texx is equal parts playful and affectionate. He loves to cuddle but also enjoys play time and walks. Texx is a friendly little guy, good with other other dogs and cats. He's best suited to a home where he will have a doggie playmate. Texx is housebroken and crate trained. If you'd like to meet Texx, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Texx at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate. Our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized.
