Story
Updating because it’s urgent. We are not able to keep Silo much longer. Silo was rescued from a ground silo by the county dog warden, hence the name. We learned about her when she appeared in an at-risk post, the shelter needed room and she’d been there too long. So we met her and loved her and took her home the next day. She is a little under a year old, still has her puppy playfulness, loves belly rubs and taking sniff walks outside. Ideally, Silo would thrive in a home with space to let her energy out with a dedicated owner to play and continue her training She is absolutely the sweetest dog I’ve ever owned. She loves affection and just wants to be part of a family. It breaks my heart to let her go, but I know there’s someone out there who can love her as much as I do.

Story
Bucky is 4. I am not sure of his exact birthday. He was a stray and we took him in. He is a great dog. I am relocating and can not keep him. He is great with kids! He loves attention! He is a little aggressive with food I assume because he was a stray. But he is never aggressive with people! Someone please take this baby. He is the sweetest!

Story
Max is a big, lovable guy with an even bigger heart. He makes the cutest little grizzly-bear baby noises and absolutely melts for belly rubs. Long walks are his favorite adventure, and he's always happiest when he can explore the world at his own pace. He's wonderfully well-mannered& crate trained, uses puppy pads, and goes to the restroom outside. Max is also incredibly smart! He uses communication buttons to let you know what he needs, whether its pets, potty, food, or water. His favorite button is definitely water. Max truly is a wonderful dog, and we love him deeply. Unfortunately, our small home and limited time mean we can't give him the amount of exercise and space he deserves. He thrives with room to roam and someone who can take him on the walks he loves so much. We want the very best for him, and we're hoping to find a home where he can stretch out, explore, and be his happiest self.
