Story
Loki needs a good home with lots of space and unfortunately I no longer can accommodate that for him, I had to move to a much smaller apartment and work full time for Amazon (10 hour shifts), he would do amazing with a big back yard! He’s great with kids, potty trained and does great other dogs and cats. I have two young kids and just cant afford to take care of him the way he deserves. He will be two this coming year in May!

Story
Zach is a sweet and intelligent Standard Poodle looking for a loving new home. He is well-mannered and affectionate, making him a wonderful companion for the right person or family. While he doesn’t play fetch (he used to, not sure why he stopped) or engage in puzzle games, he enjoys spending time with his humans and being part of the household routine. He sits, stands, lays, and shakes on command. He loves going on walks and trips in the car. I can no longer take care of the dog due to my finances. In addition, I live in an apartment and he deserves to be in a home that has a yard where he can run around and with a family who can dedicate more care to him than I can.

He was takin in by us because a friend couldn’t care for him anymore. Now we’re at the point where we can’t afford him anymore either. Trigger is almost 2 years old. He’s good with kids, doesn’t show much interest in staying around kids. He likes to follow his owners around. He also has separation anxiety problems. He has to be put in a kennel when leaving the house, he will chew up stuff if left out of kennel. Home type were looking for is someone who can give him the attention he needs

Story
Australian Shepherd + Labrador Retriever + German Shepherd Mix 10 months old Male 35 pounds Kids · 10+ Dogs · Yes Cats · No I don’t want to seem like a show-off or anything, but I am pretty sweet, and friendly, and affectionate with people... unless I am on leash! Goodness do I need help with my leash manners, I can pretty grumpy meeting new people and dogs on leash. I won’t mind sharing my home with kids 10+, or other dogs. I mean, they are all so much fun to play with! But I’m not to sure how to be friends with a kitty. I could run and wrestle and romp all day! I’m a pretty happy boy with a great attitude and a curious demeanor. I’ve got the brains to excel at arithmetic, but who am I kidding…I just can’t wait for recess! I’m super smart, playful, eager to please, and longing to be loved; so a family that is committed to working on continued training, giving me lots of guidance and structure is exactly what I need. I am teenager who is rebelling a little bit and need someone to help rein it in! Why not come in and meet me? I want so badly to show off what a cute fella I am! My adoption fee is $200 and includes microchip & registration, neuter, reduced-cost training class, free veterinary exam, leash/collar, food sample, toy & treat packet.

Treeing Walker Coonhound

Story
Treeing Walker Coonhound 8 years old Male 100 pounds Kids · 8+ Dogs · Yes Cats · No What My Friends Say About Me: I’m a big, talkative dog with a strong bark and lots of love to give. I get along with dogs of all sizes, though my bark can sometimes cause misunderstandings. I’m an adventurer at heart, but I also cherish my rest and relaxation. I’m gentle and affectionate, ready to shower you with tail wags and kisses. The Type of Home I’m Looking For: I need a calm, patient family who understands my big bark and respects my space. A home without cats is best due to my natural hunting instincts. I’d thrive with older kids (8+) who won’t be scared by my bark and can give me the gentle love I need. I’d enjoy a mix of light adventures and plenty of time to relax and recharge. My adoption fee is $200 and includes neuter, microchip & registration, leash/collar, food sample, toy & treat packet.
