Story
I adopted bingo a few weeks ago. She’s a good dog but I not able to give her the proper stimulation she needs. She loves to play with toys and she likes to lay and chew on them to relax herself. She especially loves big toys that crinkle and squeak. She is the perfect dog for someone that is active or anyone that’s an outdoor lover. She loves to play outside and go on walks. She is food motivated which helps a lot with training. She does good in public and with other dogs. She is crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night and is in there while I am at work. She is 49lbs, which I would consider a medium sized dog, and about 2 years old. She is on an anxiety medication called Prozac which she takes everyday but it has helped her a lot and she eats the pill pretty easily if you just put it in any food she likes. My goal is for her to be adopted into a loving home🤍🤍

Story
This is Lola in first pic. Lola is up for adoption to good home only! Her sister is on right in second pic. Dad in 3rd pic. Mom in 4th pic. She just turned 3 years old. We have had them since they were puppies. Lola is spayed and chipped. She is very loving, entergetic and fun to be around. She is my best friend but she gets into lil squabbles with her sister and my daughter is more attached to the other dog. She is an inside dog and potty trained. She is very loyal and the best dog ive ever had. She listens very well. Her food and water dispenser will go with her along with her harness. Great dog just dont have time to train them to be around each other. Will need to be in a fence if left outside unless u have a big piece of property with no neighbors for her to roam. She would prefer to be inside though being a guard dog and warning you when someone is near by when she is not keeping you company and hanging out.

Story
Prince was born in the Fall of 2022 and adopted from McKamey at around six months. He has a doggie friend with whom he lives and plays and also lives with a cat that he tolerates. He loves being outside but is known to get out of the fenced area when left unsupervised. He's a very sweet boy. I moved away over a year ago and he has been under the care of my house sitter but I am about to lose the property where he has been staying. He has an allergy to fleas and the topical flea treatments don't seem effective so he is bathed often with Dawn soap and uses a Soresto collar.

Story
We are looking to rehome 8 month old Micah. We adopted him earlier this year and unfortunately due to recent financial struggles my husband and I have both been working two jobs each and unable to properly care for him since we just can't be home. I am also pregnant, developing new allergies to him, and the stress has been wearing on me a lot knowing he is not getting the care he needs while being overexerted at work. He is fixed and potty trained but there is just no one to take him out. He is up to date with his rabies shot. He is very sweet, energetic and playful but we just can’t give him what he needs. He has a bit too energy for my cat, who is very patient but not very good at standing up for himself during playtime. He would be great at a house with someone who can just be home more or has a yard to let him run around. He loves to snuggle and would cuddle. He plays well with other dogs. He loves to play fetch and when we can we take him to a field nearby.
