Story
Hercules was rescued by my brother, and I welcomed him into my home shortly after. Since then, he has been such a loving, loyal companion. He absolutely adores people and thrives on affection. He still believes he’s a lap dog and will happily curl up with you any chance he gets.Hercules would do best in a home where he can be the center of attention. He isn’t a good fit for a home with cats, and he can be reactive toward unfamiliar dogs. He would thrive with a confident, dog-savvy owner who can continue guiding him and setting him up for success.For his health, Hercules is on a chicken-free diet due to skin sensitivities, and he’s been doing much better since making that change.This sweet, affectionate boy has so much love to give. I truly wish I could keep him, but I want him in a home where he can feel secure and where all pets are safe.

Story
We rescued Spank off of the street. Spank is a gorgeous, large black dog who is the definition of a "gentle giant." He has a delightfully dopey personality and genuinely does not realize how big he is! He acts like an oversized puppy and loves meeting people. He is great with strangers and brings constant entertainment and warmth wherever he goes. (He's almost house-broken.)friendlyenergeticplayfulcurioussweeteager to pleaseactiveloves treatsenjoys outdoor activitiesneeds yard accessenjoys companythrives with attention

Story
Newton is a very active dog. He was born in February of 2022 (4 y/o). He loves the outdoors, and is extremely playful. But he needs an experience adopter who is familiar with reactive/working dogs such as collies and shepherds. He is extremely loyal. He has only lived in a single owner home, and not with any other animals up to this point. He sleeps in a kennel each night and is fed outdoors. He only showed some protective aggression over his food as a baby (likely stemming from being the runt of a large litter). He can sleep indoors or outdoors in the right home environment. Contact me directly with additional questions regarding his nature. I am a single male who has a very busy working schedule, unable to sustain and give him the attention and outdoor time he deserves.

Story
This sweet puppy is about 13 weeks old. Her name is Tallulah but I think she could still learn another name pretty easy. She came to be mine after she fell out of a car window on the interstate and no one stopped to help her! Luckily she sustained no real injuries and has no issues from this accident. Of course I had to help her and give her a good place to stay until I could find her forever home, but I do not have the space in my life for a puppy right now. I have taken her to see the vet and she is up to date on all her vaccines and is free of fleas/worms etc. The rehoming fee reflects the medical bill for that treatment. She is a sweet girl and I would like to say she has been very good besides the fact that she is a puppy and needs lots of attention. She is making good progress in crate and potty training. Someone with a yard/active lifestyle is highly preferred for her.
