Story
We are fostering Sherlock for a friend who moved out of the country. Sherlock is about 5 years old. He is a very friendly and sweet dog, and kind of goofy. Sherlock is very intelligent and a little bit sassy. Can be calm and relaxed but likes to go on adventures. He has done really well with our kids and other dogs. Sherlock loves to be with people and would accept pets all day long. We would keep him, but we already have dogs and it's too much for us to own 3. We want to see him go to a good home with someone who will give him the attention and love that he deserves.

Story
I’m looking to find a loving new home for my 1-year-old husky, Shyloh. This has been a really difficult decision, but as I prepare to play Division 1 college basketball, I know I won’t have the time she deserves. I got Shyloh from a breeder when she was just 3 months old, and she’s been such a big part of my life, even living with me in the dorms. She’s full of energy, love, and personality, and I truly want her to go to someone who can give her the attention, care, and active lifestyle she needs.

I acquired Achilles from an AKC certified breeder in the area where I am currently living. He has been true blessing to my family and I. I am looking for someone who will take good care of him and not mistreat him. If I could keep him I would but the odds have been against me lately. He is up to date on all his shots and he will come with dog food, a cage, and I can transfer is registration of being AKC certified. I pray that he will be a great addition to your family and many beautiful memories are created with love and laughter.

Story
We are fostering Bjorn (Be-yorn) for a friend who has moved out of the country. Bjorn is about 3.5 years old. He is a very sweet dog who loves to play! Bjorn loves life and is an overall very happy and affectionate dog. He can be very excited and wants to jump, but with a little correction, he is very polite. He knows basic commands, but could benefit from someone who is willing to put in the time to train him. He has done really well with our kids. We would keep him, but we already have dogs and it's too much for us to own 3. We want to see him go to a good home with someone who will give him the attention, love and exercise that he deserves.

Story
Meet Budda - your future fur-losopher. At 6 years young, this Pit Bull mix has truly mastered the art of inner peace… and outer wiggles. He sits politely, is delightfully treat-motivated, and brings a calm presence with just the right sprinkle of playful energy.Budda isn’t overly active - he prefers a balanced lifestyle. A little walk, a little wiggle, a little snack, a little nap. He gets excited for his daily “meditation walks,” where he contemplates life, love, and the meaning of treats.If you’re looking for a gentle soul who can help you achieve true paw-sitive energy, Budda is ready to be your enlightened companion.
