Story
Nugget is a 11 year old golden cocker spatial. He is such a good dog alittle hard of hearing but his personality is such a kind and loving, loyal pet. He has been with my family since he was 8 weeks old. He helped me raise my three children and now my two grandbabies. He is wonderful around kids. He doesn't like other dogs that much, I have had also cats in house which he is fine with. He tends to bark at new people when introduced but has never done anything other than that. Nugget has been such a blessing to our family and it saddens me that I am placed in this position, but I want the best for him and where I am going he wouldn't be happy.

Story
Kaley Q’s story is one of resilience, healing, and learning how to love life again. This sweet girl came to us in absolutely devastating condition with a severe leg injury that left her unable to use it. Watching her transform from hurting and struggling into the happy, playful dog she is today has been nothing short of incredible. Now at 11 years old, Kaley Q is back to feeling like herself again — and honestly, you’d never guess her age! She’s active, playful, and completely obsessed with meeting new people. Everywhere she goes, she’s ready to make a new best friend and soak up all the attention she can get. Kaley Q was also diagnosed with Lyme disease and is currently undergoing treatment, but she continues to tackle every challenge with a wagging tail and a positive spirit. Kaley Q is proof that age is just a number. She still has so much love, life, and joy ahead of her, and she’s hoping to spend it in a forever home surrounded by people who adore her as much as we do. If you’re looking for a resilient, loving companion with a heart of gold, Kaley Q is ready to meet you.
