Story
Mikko and Denali are brothers even though they don't look alike. They became a member of our family as puppies 3 years ago. Mikko's original taker backed out and upon picking up Denali, we were told that Mikko was the last puppy left. So instead of changing our mind and taking Mikko, we chose to take both puppies. Mikko and Denali are fun, loving, energetic boys who need a home with a large, fenced in yard to run around. They love to play but, in their down time they love to be right beside you getting belly rubs. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am moving and can't have them where I am going. While this breaks my heart, it also makes me happy knowing that they will have a home filled with love and attention. I would like to see them go together but if that is not possible then I think they would be fine going separate because then they will get all of the attention. Please consider giving these precious boys a home, you won't be disappointed!

Poor Irene has been diagnosed with Cushing disease and will require cushings medication for the rest of her life. With her Cushing Irene pees alot very frequently. She needs someone that will take her out every couple hours to pee. She sometimes needs to pee in between so foster mom has xlarge size pee pads inside which  she will go on. Also the same with overnight. She can't hold it an entire night even though she is on meds. She is on 2 different kinds of meds and requires a test every couple months to make sure meds are regulated. She is so sweet and friendly. She walks perfectly on a leash. She likes to be petted and be with people. She is great with other dogs and pigs. ** LOCAL CENTRAL PA APPLICATIONS ONLY **Her adoption donation includes spaying, vaccinations, implanting of a microchip, application of flea meds and worming.

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet. 9/21/23 We had an approved adopter who wanted Lily. We confirmed she was kid and cat friendly, as the adopter had a young child and cats. We thought it was a go. Lily’s foster mom sent some new pictures of Lily to them (all the pictures you see her, except the last one). They’d seen the last picture posted here, on our website but upon seeing the new pictures, they said she definitely had Pit Bull in her and given her husband had a “bad experience” with a supposed Pit mix, they no longer wanted her. They also said they were misled because of differences they saw between the original picture and the new pictures. So, Lily is being judged because she might have Pit in her, even though we know she’s kid friendly, they don’t want her. How unfortunate. We do not KNOW Lily’s breed, because she’s a rescue and we don’t know who/what her parents were and she hasn’t been DNA tested. Does she have some Pit in her? Probably, because most mixed breeds tend to have some sort of Bully breed mixed in, but Lily is probably a mix of many different breeds. Though we don’t know her breed, we do KNOW that she is a happy, friendly, loving, sweet, playful dog who deserves a family of her own!!! Here’s what her foster mom says about her- “Lily is a fantastic dog. She may look intimidating to some, but she is quite the contrary. She’s smart and eager to please. Treat motivated. She plays great with my younger and larger dogs yet knows to be gentle with my older and smaller dogs. She hasn’t had an accident in the house in weeks. She comes when she’s called unless she playing and I might have to call her a couple times. She doesn’t mind the crate when I have to leave for work. In fact, she goes in it on her own when she sees I’m getting ready to leave because she knows the routine. She’s not destructive. She loves Nylabones and other safe chew toys. She burns her energy during the day and at night she loves to snuggle up and cuddle. She loves to play with other dogs and is scared of cats! We believe she can live with cats with no issue. She has also been around kids (toddlers) and was just fine with them.” **Lily looks much bigger in pictures than she really is! She’s only about 30 pounds. She’s about 1.5 years old. Spayed, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.9/16/23 We posted Zeus on 2/19/23, 210 days ago, and he’s still available. I truly thought people would be fighting for him when we initially posted him, but that was not the case. He appears to be mostly German Shepherd with a little something else mixed in. Zeus is a friendly, sweet natured guy that really needs a family and home of his own. Zeus seems to be a young adult (1-1.5 years old) and is most likely fully grown. He weighs about 65 lbs. Zeus is a very good boy and would do well with older children ONLY because he is a playful nipper. He’d never hurt a child on purpose, but when he's excited, he playfully nips which could be problematic with very young children. His foster family is working to correct this behavior, but it is a common issue with working breeds. He currently lives with 4 other large dogs and does very well with them. He is even cat friendly! He cuddles with them! He is energetic and needs a family who will give him adequate exercise. He is house trained and crate trained. He is neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on vaccinations. Please share Zeus!! Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.
