Story

Daisy is a super sweet Shih Tzu (mix?) She's approximately 7 to 8 years old. Before I adopted her, she was found by a Good Samaritan in very bad shape. She was cold and matted, and had to have her eyes removed. I have had her for five years and she is a joy. She hates grooming and going to the vet, so she does have to take Gabaptenin before either of those appointments. She's crate trained and potty trained. She does sleep in my bed. She will not have accidents if taken outside to the grass. Her hearing isn't as good as it used to be. She does have a "Halo" she can wear to avoid bonking her head. She loves to play with toys. She weighs a whopping 13 pounds.

Story

I adopted Penny from a shelter about 4 years ago. She is sweet as dogs get. She is an Aussie Staffie mix. I need to rehome her because we are moving into a rental and are expecting several moves for work in the near future. Having pets makes work travel difficult and renting homes very limited. Penny loves freebie. She is great with other dogs and does well at the dog park.

Story

Is Tuna the pup for you? Tuna is a super sweet 2.5 year old dog who is in need a new home. She is a pit mix who loves being a caring companion - she’s very attentive and kisses are her favorite! We have loved caring for tuna, but she would do best in a home with a yard or with someone who is skilled with leash walking, as she gets very excited about other dogs and can be very unsure of them. Unfortunately, we’re not able to provide for her in this way and have faced financial constraints with her care. We’d love for her to go to a new, loving home that better suits her needs. She is fully housebroken, does well in her crate, is spayed and up to date on shots. We can provide crate, bowls, leashes/collars/harnesses, and toys (which she doesn’t destroy!). Please let me know if you want to learn more about her!

Story

Meet Blue – Your Loyal, One-and-Only Companion Blue is a 5-year-old cuddle bug with a playful streak and a heart full of love for people. He’s crate trained (up to 8–9 hours), rings a bell to go outside, and enjoys games like “keep away” and zoomies. He’s gentle with humans and unfazed by strangers—just wants to be near his people. Blue was a COVID-era puppy and likely missed out on early socialization. Though his previous family said he liked other animals, we quickly learned he reacts strongly to all pets. He hasn’t bitten or attacked, but his loud bark and anxious energy mean he must be the only animal in the home. We hoped to train him, but our busy schedules don’t allow the time he deserves. Blue thrives on attention and would do best with someone home often who can give him the love and structure he craves. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate dog who wants to be your one-and-only, Blue could be the perfect match.

Story

We're lovingly rehoming our sweet 4-year-old Hazel, a playful and affectionate companion. She thrives on attention, cuddles, treats, and playtime with her favorite toys. While Hazel may initially experience separation anxiety, she warms up quickly and becomes a loyal shadow. This intelligent and curious girl requires a patient owner who can provide a safe and engaging environment. She'll need regular breaks, especially after meals and hourly, for potty breaks. Ideal for an owner with a fenced backyard, Hazel would adore a home where she can receive ample attention, play, and love. She's a blanket-loving, snugglebug who'll bring endless joy to the right family. Key characteristics: • Loves company and attention • Playful and energetic • Intelligent and curious • Separation anxiety (requires patient training and attention) • Needs regular exercise and potty breaks • Affectionate and loyal
