Story
Stitch is a 3-year-old Lab mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for his people. He’s affectionate, loyal, and thrives on human connection, whether that’s snuggling on the couch, going for walks, or just being near his favorite person. While Stitch has a wonderfully loving personality, he does best in an adult-only home. He has some resource guarding behaviors and would be most comfortable in a calm environment without children, where his boundaries can be respected and he can continue building confidence. With consistency, structure, and a patient adopter, he has so much potential to shine. Stitch would make an incredible companion for someone who understands dogs and is looking for a devoted, sweet-natured friend to call their own

Story
Scarlett is a 3 year old hound mix. She's 75 lb of pure energy, but when it's nap time she snores like its the best sleep of her life. Favorite activities include: playing catch with herself, chasing a laser like a cat, staring at shadows on the ceiling and wandering through the backyard looking for the best spot to roll. She's very healthy, although the vet did say she should have had braces when she was little. She tracks deer like her life depends on it. She's up to date with all her shots, heartworm negative, currently on flea, tick and heartworm prevention and is spayed. Scarlett is crate trained, although we've left her out while we're gone and she's done well. She hasn't had any accidents in the house. She MUST be inside a fence or on a leash as she is a flight risk. She's very lovable and loves to be in your pocket. A good snuggle is her love language and she just wants to be close to her people. MUST GO TO A HOME WITH NO OTHER DOGS. Cats, farm animals and kids are ok.

Our Grandmother died and Gumdrop was her companion. He would do best with an older lady who likes cuddles and conversation. The kids next door have taunted him so we are not sure how he would do with children. He likes other animals and has a best friend who is a sassy cat.

Story
Rogue is a sweet, loving dog that turns 3 this March. She is Shiba Inu and part Shitzu. Rogue loves toys, playing with other dogs, and kids and her loved ones. She liked to do zoomies be silly and enjoys cuddles. Rogue also likes to at times be independent. My son and I, live with my mom who is 70. We help take care of her and my mom has health issues and we are just too busy and Rogue needs more attention. Rogue does need shots this year and spayed but she comes with food and her dog kennel and blanket and food bowls. She also comes with her toys as well and collar and leash. I selected behavioral issues because she needs more time and attention that I can give to her unfortunately, so she will act out with her dog bowl and chewing up paper. Rogue has moments of nipping at my son due to him playing with her and teasing her, but he doesn't understand when to stop. I can understand why as my son has ADHD and possibly on low spectrum. She would do best around older kids. Thank you

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.
