Story
We believe he is around a year old, very playful and energetic, loves to cuddle. He was found running around the neighborhood and no one knew who he belongs to or took ownership so we couldn't let him be without a home. He is house trained and crate trained, gets along well with others and dogs. We don't have the time or space for him and would love to find him a more supportive home!

Story
Cub is one year old. He is very sweet and gentle. After we got him we ended up having some changes in our life and we have not been able to give him the attention he needs. Being a Dutch Shepherd he needs lots of stimulation and activity. He is crate trained. I would say he is good with bigger kids just bc of his size. He has never been aggressive but he has knocked over our 7 year old and can be too playful for smaller kids.

Story
Meet Whiskey, a handsome 5-year-old dog with a big heart and gentle personality. He’s smart, loving, and wonderful with kids and other dogs. Whiskey already knows “sit,” takes treats politely, and enjoys spending time with his people. He has a calm, sensitive nature and likes finding a cozy quiet spot to relax when the house gets busy or noisy. Whiskey travels very well in the car and would make a great companion for both everyday life and new adventures.He isn’t picky about food and happily enjoys his Beneful beef flavor meals along with the occasional people-food treat. Whiskey would thrive with an owner who can provide consistent attention, patience, structure, and continued training. He’s eager to learn, forms strong bonds with his family, and would do best in a home committed to helping him continue building confidence and good habits. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, and affectionate best friend, Whiskey may be the perfect fit for your family!

My son adopted Daisy roughly five years ago from the local animal shelter. She was a puppy at the time, and we have since raised her. After moving, my dad took ownership of her for the last 7 months, but he is unable to keep her any longer. We are looking for a good home to show her the love she deserves.
