Story
Sadie Ray is our 5½-year-old mini goldendoodle and a deeply loved member of our family. We purchased her as a puppy from an Amish community, and she has grown up in a home full of people and activity. She completed training at Doran Canine College and knows her commands well. She is house trained, follows direction, and thrives with structure—regular walks, consistent feeding, and attention. Sadie is sweet, affectionate, and gentle, especially with young children. She loves being around people and enjoys cuddling. She does best as the only pet, as other animals can cause her anxiety. We are looking for a patient, loving home that can provide consistency, care, and plenty of attention.

Story
Margo is a very sweet and loving 4 year old pup. Unfortunately I do not have the time, energy, or resources to give her what she needs. She has some reactive personality traits, specifically resource guarding. I am unable to get her the training she needs to calm these behaviors down. She also is a very anxious dog. Beyond the difficult behaviors is a very sweet, loyal, sassy, and beautiful pup.

Story
Penny is a 12-year-old Goldendoodle (More golden than doodle 😉) who we’ve loved since bringing her home as a puppy in 2013. She has spent her entire life as a beloved family dog and has brought us years of companionship and loyalty.Penny is still surprisingly active for her age. She loves walks, being outside, and spending time with her people. She enjoys a calm home where she can relax and be included in everyday life.As our family circumstances changed, Penny began living with my brother. After the arrival of his baby, she became uncomfortable around a crawling infant and started growling, so we know she needs a home without babies or young children. She’d do best with adults, a retired couple, or a family with older children.Penny is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and has so much love left to give. We hope to find someone who will cherish her through her senior years.

Story
Hello, This is my dog Tyson. Tyson has an interesting story. To make it short, I was a police officer in Atlanta GA 14 years ago. I received a call for service at the shelter ( unrelated to this dog) but noticed that they were going to euthanize this dog. I couldn’t let it happen and agreed to adopt the dog, thinking I would spare its life and find a home for it later. Well that was 14 years ago and here we are. Tyson has been with me the entire time. I have since moved to Washington, New York, New Jersey, and Ohio. Unfortunately I am moving again (for work). Tyson is an aging dog and I don’t want to put him through the stress of another move. Additionally because of his breed it is hard finding housing with him and I am moving into an apartment. What I am looking for is a good home to allow Tyson to live out the remainder of his glory years. I do not need or want the adoption fee. I want someone who took the time to read this posting and understand. No special care needed.

Story
I’m looking for a loving and responsible home for my pit bull mix. She is a strong, healthy dog who has been part of my family for several years. Due to changes in my personal circumstances, I’m no longer able to provide the time, attention, and environment she deserves.She is affectionate with people she knows, enjoys spending time with her family, and loves having room to play and relax. She would do best with an owner who has experience with larger breeds and can provide consistent structure, exercise, and attention.
