Story
Due to recent changes in my life, I am unable to give my puppy the time and attention he deserves. He is a loving, playful, and very sociable little dog, and I am looking for a family who can care for him and love him as much as I have.

Story
Killian is a 9 year old Mini Schnauzer that is fixed and chipped. He has no known health issues other than a small lump on his chest that has been checked and identified as a fatty lump. Although he is 9 he is still playful and looks the same as when he was 2. He was neutered a bit late so unfortunately he still marks occasionally since it was a habit before being fixed. He loves to play fetch and loves other dogs and cats. He also loves to cuddle so there is a good balance of play and quiet.  I love this dog more than anything but he is put up too much now and I have been away from home for many months now and think he deserves a better home. I have been dealing with an injury and have been living with my dad far away. My boyfriend has been taking care of Killian but he is allergic to dogs and cats so all he ever does is take him out to potty. Killian deserves a home where someone can spend time with him and cuddle him when they come home from work. He comes with his toy and food

Story
Meet Honey Honey is a beautiful 2-year-old girl with a big heart, a playful spirit, and so much love to give. We got her from an Amish County near our city when she was just a puppy, and she has been part of our family ever since. This decision is not easy for us, but we truly want what is best for Honey a forever home where she can live a happy, safe, and fulfilling life. Honey is friendly, loving, and enjoys being in her space. She has a fun personality and can bring so much joy and laughter into a home. She loves attention and having space to explore and play. Because of her energy and personality, we believe she would do best in a spacious and comfortable environment with an experienced dog owner who understands patience, consistency, and training. Like many young dogs, Honey still needs some work in certain training areas, but she is smart, affectionate, and has so much potential. With the right guidance and love, she can truly thrive.

Story
We found Mable walking on the side of the road, one cold rainy night in November. We are looking to rehome her because she is too large for our house with our 4 cats. She does good with the cats. She wants to play with them but they want nothing to do with her. When we take her on walks, she seems interested in some dogs and not others. We have not tested her with other dogs. We think she's about 5 years old. She very loveable and likes being the center of attention. She loves sleeping in bed with us and lying with us on the couch. She would need an owner that is a runner or active. She loves to be chased in the backyard or playing defender for me while I practice hockey in the garage. While she is not spayed, we are willing to help with the process if the new owner would like it done.

Story
This is Cheerio. He will answer to Cheerio-oh-oh che-che-Cheerio handsome and Cheerio Marley when he’s in trouble. He’s cuddly and loves to give and receive kisses. There’s nothing he likes more than a good cheeseburger and butt scratches. He’s a good boy. He likes very long walks and just being outside. His downfall is he is aggressive towards other dogs and pulls on a leash I don’t want money for him just someone who loves him as much as I do. Please let him in the bed and on the furniture. He is spoiled rotten here. He loves his veggies and fruits but not blueberries. He does have a grade 3 heart murmur but it requires no medication or special care it just exist. I dont know what breed he is but he is some pitbull mix but no matter what look how cute he is. He is crate trained although he will pout when you tell him to get in his crate (just praise him and he’ll go). I love him and he needs someone who loves him too.

Story
5/26/26: Today is our Jail swap day and I was picked to go this month, how exciting is that?! I'll be getting basic obedience training, crate and leash training, making sure I'm housebroken and socialized. I won't be available for adoption until I'm back on June 23rd. If you're interested in visiting me when I'm back, be sure to schedule your appointment on the 24th or 26th. Until then, stay frosty! --- 5/14/26: Meet Freya 🐾 Freya is a beautiful girl estimated to be around 6 years old who found her way to us after originally being picked up as a stray by a shelter. She has since been transferred into our rescue, where she’s beginning the next chapter of her life surrounded by care, stability, and plenty of fresh starts. Freya is still settling in and decompressing as she adjusts to all the new sights, sounds, and routines around her. Even so, it’s already clear that she’s an active girl who enjoys staying engaged and moving right alongside her people. ✨ As we continue getting to know her, we’ll be learning more about her personality, preferences, and what kind of home will help her thrive best. Dogs coming from stray situations often need a little time for their true selves to emerge, and watching that process unfold is always something special. Freya is now spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped, making her fully ready to begin searching for the forever home she deserves. For someone looking for an active companion and willing to give her the patience she needs while she settles in, Freya could be a wonderful addition to the family. 🖤
