Story
We adopted Lacy from a shelter in July 2025 - they thought she was about a year and full grown, some sort of beagle mix. She was much smaller and a little shy, and shadowed our senior dog wherever she went. When she went to get spayed and shots, the vet said she was not a year and was going to get much larger (and oh boy, they were right). We now think she is a coonhound mix.As Lacy has grown, she has become an out-going, loving, high-energy giant. She adores people and attention, loves chewies and toys, goes crazy for the dog park to play with other dogs.But she gets very stressed out by our senior dog's severe anxiety.Lacy is looking for an indoor home where she can relax, play, get lots of love, lots of chewies, and have a human to cuddle with.

Story
We found this beautiful, LOVING dog out on a country road. After a week at the shelter wand not being claimed we decided to foster him until a more suitable owner could be matched with him. He listens to commands, fetches, walks well on a leash, and loves to be pet and snuggled. He has high affection needs and follows scents often not coming back when called. He’s happiest when we are up and moving/working. [Some things to know before you adopt - he will paw at you when you’re sitting until you pet him, he may travel far when not working.] He’s terrific with our grandchildren that range in ages of small toddler to 10 year old. •Jed is just over 3 years old. •69# •neutered •Border collie/ heeler mix. •up to date on all shots and rabies •heart worm and tick prevention shot that lasts until June 2027 We adore him!!! He just needs a job or large fenced yard.

Story
Looking for a better home for our boy Finn. We got.hime from a family member who did not treat him well in hopes to give him a better home. Unfortunately, with our kids and work lives we don't have the time to spend with him that we thought we would. He is very energetic and like his toys. He is mostly potty trained but still have had a few accidents. Can sit, lay down, shake, and will go to crate on command most times. Does decent on a leash, but will get a little unruly occasionally. Can answer more questions upon request. We are hoping someone will have the time and love to give him a good home!

Story
Harley and her mother were abandoned with a friend of my aunt who couldn't take care of them long term. We took Harley not understanding how active she would be. We have two other dogs that she gets along with well. However, she needs a more active household. She is very loving and cuddly. She likes to jump, climb and chew. She does not like to share her toys.
