Story
Mikey is male Yorkshire terrier he's around 7 years old. He is housebroken , he goes to the door and whines when he needs to go out. He loves walks and riding in the car. Mikey lived with an older gentleman his entire life. His owner got ill and could no longer care for him. He would do best with someone that is home all the time as that is what he is use to. Hes a great little guard dog he will let you know when someone is around.. Mikey enjoys sitting on the back of the couch watching what's going on in the neighborhood. He also likes to follow you around where ever you go. He also likes to curl up in your lap. He sleeps at the foot of the bed when its time to go to sleep. I prefer that the adopter is an older person who will have plenty of time to spend with him. He doesn't care to be home alone for hours. Mikey loves toys and will play fetch.

Story
Smokey Joe is a handsome 14 month old German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix who spent some time in the prison Dog Training program. That means he knows some basic commands like Sit, Stay, Wait, Down, Come and Leave it. He walks great on a leash, is housebroken, crate trained, and he is neutered and utd on shots. Smokey is about 55 lbs., and has a stocky, shorter build. He does well with other dogs but plays hard, so only bigger dogs are advised. Smokey would love a fenced in yard to run in, or an active runner/walker buddy to help him get his puppy energy out. He calms down really quickly, and lives to be near his people. Smokey has a prey drive outside, but has not been tested with cats. He can be mouthy like a shepherd so he is best suited for a home with older or no children. Smokey Joe is sweet as pie and will be an easy dog for any dog savvy home. He has an adorable habit of hoarding dog toys so make sure you are stocked up if you apply! He feels you can never have too many, and will be going to his new home with some of his favorites. Smokey Joe promises to be your best friend. Are YOU the one?

Story
Peanut is a handsome yellow Lab just over 1 year old. We adopted him as a young puppy from a local private shelter. He is neutered, up to date on medical care, house trained, and crate trained. He is a fun, affectionate, people-oriented dog who loves being part of the family. He has grown up with our three children, ages 12, 10, and 9, and loves playing with them. He enjoys running in the yard, chasing a ball, wrestling with the kids, and relaxing with the family. He also does well with our outdoor cat and chickens. Peanut is smart and knows several commands, including sit, lay down, come, go, place, high five, “dead,” and go to his crate. He walks nicely on a leash and does well when left alone. He may be cautious or protective when new people first arrive, but he warms up quickly and has never bitten or snapped. We feel Peanut would do best with a loving family, ideally with children and a yard where he can run and play.

Story
I got Roxie at 8 weeks ok she grew up with me in college. She is an amazing dog and it breaks my heart having to part with her because she’s a great dog. But with my living situation and career path I just can’t exercise her as much as she needs. She is extremely smart and well behaved. She does amazing with other dogs but has shown signs of aggression over food only with dogs. She will come with her crate and her food bowl. She’s the most loving dog I’ve ever had and I just want her to have a life that I can not give her and I know someone else can.

Story
This isn’t an easy decision, but we are looking to find a loving forever home for our boy Petey. Petey is approximately 4½ months old and is a male pit bull/hound mix.We originally rescued Petey from a place a couple of hours away. He had been living outside full-time, was covered in fleas, and had worms. He has since been given dewormer. When we learned about the conditions he was living in, we wanted to get him out of that situation as soon as possible. We took him in to give him a safe place to stay and a chance at a better life.Unfortunately, we have decided that finding him a new home would be what’s best for him. Our goal from the beginning was to get him out of those conditions, make sure he was safe, and give him the opportunity to have the life he deserves.We are not looking to just give him to anyone. We want him to go to a safe, responsible, and loving home where he will receive the attention, patience, and care he deserves.
