Story
Winston is a Pit-Lab mix that we rescued back in 2019. We think he is around 6 years old and is full of energy. He is a very loving dog and very smart but we can’t give him the attention he needs and deserves. We recently welcomed our first baby and Winston has become much more of a handful than we can manage now. He gets bored easily and tends to get mischievous without attention. He’s also become jealous of the new baby which has made us wary. While he has been our baby for the past 6 years we have to do what is best for our son and growing family. Generally, Winston is great with adults, older kids, and other dogs, but he is not good with cats and young toddlers or babies. Winston needs an owner who is able to spend the time to exercise and socialize him on a regular basis. He loves running, hiking, playing fetch & snuggles on the couch. He has been an amazing member of our family and we hope to find his forever home!

Story
Meet Nick – Your New Best Friend! Nick is a 3-year-old, 65-pound mixed breed with a heart as big as his sweet, soulful eyes. With his sleek short coat and medium build, he’s the perfect size for snuggling on the couch—and that just happens to be his favorite place to be! Nick is incredibly smart, affectionate, and gentle. He thrives on companionship and would love nothing more than to be by your side—whether you’re hanging out inside or enjoying time outdoors. He’s a toy enthusiast, a devoted cuddle buddy, and a loyal shadow who simply wants to love and be loved. Nick is house trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, and is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. While he had a rough patch with another dog in a previous foster home and is currently working on rebuilding his confidence around other dogs, he’s made incredible progress with guidance and patience. Nick would still make an ideal only dog (he would make the perfect “Hallmark companion dog”). His first love is to people, then to toys, and finally to his foster buddy TJ. With the right dog (not alpha), and slow introductions, he should be ok, although I am convinced, he would be content as an only dog. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and devoted companion, Nick may just be the perfect match.
