Story

Teal is looking for her forever home. She’s high energy and crate trained and would thrive in an active household that can provide her with plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation and outdoor time. Active singles and families with older, dog-savvy children are a better fit for this little miss. She’s got all the Pomsky quirks; smart, ‘vocal’ when playing and loyal. Her family needs to understand her energy, so walks, hikes and runs are essential to her routine. A secure fenced-in yard is a huge plus. She is crate and house trained but because she’s young she needs additional training (… coprophagia). She’s affectionate but still doesn’t realize the impact her energy has on her playfulness. There is a belief that Teal is magical… All in all in all she’s wonderful little girl who’s looking to be loved and to give it right back. Serious inquiries only, please.

Story

SOS: BUCKY BEAR NEEDS A HERO! Some dogs survive. Others teach us what unconditional love really looks like. Bucky Bear is one of those dogs. His foster mom writes: "If there weren't hundreds of thousands of other dogs still waiting to be saved on this island, Bucky Bear would stay with me forever." That says everything! Bucky was found lying on a discarded mattress beside a busy highway in Puerto Rico—just hours from dying. His jaw had been broken completely in two. The veterinarian believes he was most likely kicked in the face. But what Bucky did next is something none of us will ever forget. When he was gently lifted into the car, he didn't growl. He didn't snap. He didn't fight. He simply trusted. Even in unimaginable pain, all Bucky Bear wanted was kindness. After two surgeries, countless vet visits, and so much love, this incredible boy is finally ready for the life he's always deserved. And oh...what a beautiful soul he is. Once his food allergies were discovered and treated, his gorgeous coat grew back, and so did his joy. His favorite place in the world is wherever you are. Curled up beside you on the couch. Following you from room to room. Stretching out in a sunny spot. Giving gentle kisses and silly little boops. Joining you for an easy stroll through the farmers market before heading home for more cuddles. He isn't looking for mountain adventures. He's looking for you. A family. A couch. A soft bed. A heart that will never hurt him again. Bucky Bear loves other dogs and would do best with a calmer companion while his repaired jaw continues to stay protected. His temperament is nothing short of remarkable. During professional temperament testing, he showed zero triggers and has an incredibly gentle "soft mouth," naturally avoiding pressure even during handling. Despite everything someone did to him Bucky Bear still chooses love. Every. Single. Day. Sadly, because of his breed, many people scroll past without ever giving him a chance. Please don't. Bucky isn't a stereotype. He's proof that love can survive cruelty. He's proof that broken things can heal. He's proof that forgiveness exists. Now all he needs is someone willing to believe in him the way he's always believed in people. Bucky Bear is currently in the northeast. His adoption fee covers transportation so he can travel to his forever family almost anywhere in the Northeast—and beyond. Please help us give this incredible boy the happy ending he's waited his whole life for. Share his story. Open your heart. Be the person Bucky Bear has been waiting for. Because after everything he's survived...he deserves to spend the rest of his life knowing he is finally, completely, and forever loved.

Story

Great, friendly, non-aggressive, house trained dog. She knows all the basic verbal commands and 3-4 non verbal commands. I got her from a friend of the family as an 9 week old puppy and have had her for 6 years. She is actually a XL bully but I did not see the option. I am relocating and cannot take her plus she is not getting the exercise and attention that these breeds love. She will bark at UPS deliveries for whatever reason but she has never changed or even escalated past a bark.
