Story

I am currently looking to rehome my dog Henry. He is truly the sweetest, snuggliest dog and just wants to be with his person. I’ve recently gone back to work and have become aware of his separation anxiety. I currently have him on anti anxiety medication, but I don’t want him medicated five days a week consistently. His meds do help so he can be left alone if necessary. He is house and crate trained. I am looking for someone who works from home/SAHM/is home consistently to adopt him. When someone is home with him he is low energy, snuggly and happy to lay on the couch with you. He is the perfect WFH buddy. He would do well as a single dog or with a friend. He enjoys playing with other dogs. Some quick facts about him - 40 pounds - 1 year old - pit mix - knows basic commands - house trained - crate trained - has anxiety medication - loves to snuggle - used to three 20 minute walks per day

Story

Maverick and his siblings were dropped off at a shelter with their mother, somehow unwanted. This could be the best thing to happen to them however as they are all in great foster homes and have a chance to find wonderful families and live the lives they deserve. Maverick and two of his brothers are in the same loving foster home getting snuggles, meeting farm animals and playing with the other dogs in the house as well as the cats. They are typical puppies, funny, silly and learning every day! They love to snuggle with the family and be loved on, their potty training is coming along well, and they are very good in their crates at night. Maverick is the most independent pup of the three, loves the water and has a adorable "black eyeliner" around his eyes. Maverick is about 5 months old, 48lbs, neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vetting for his age. If you would like to make this sweet boy a part of your family please email bigyellowgoose018@gmail.com for an application.

Charlie has been spayed and vaccinated and is ready to travel to the northeast as soon as the weekend of August 9th.

Charlie is just the best, she will make a wonderful member of the family. Adoption donations are the only source of funding for the rescue.
