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.

Story
Meatloaf turns 1 year old this month (born in May 2025). He’s the size of a miniature horse, but a big sweet baby. He is very affectionate, playful, energetic, and athletic (he loves to jump over and through things). He’s a mixed breed, we’re not sure what his father was but he’s built like a Great Dane and we think his mother is some form of bull terrier mix.Meatloaf needs a new home ASAP and family that can give him individualized love, care and attention.He comes from a litter of puppies born from a family member’s dog. The family member moved in with us last year, but they’re moving out now and are not able to bring any of the puppies with them to their new home.We’ve tried asking friends, family, and coworkers over the past year if they could adopt him or any of his siblings but have had no luck finding them a home, and now we have too many dogs to take care of on our own.

Story
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
Snickers turns 1 year old this month (born in May 2025). He is playful, energetic, and a little goofy. He is a mixed breed with a very unique body build, as well as having extra toes on his rear paws.Snickers needs a new home ASAP and family that can give him individualized love, care and attention.He comes from a litter of puppies born from a family member’s dog. The family member moved in with us last year, but they’re moving out now and are not able to bring any of the puppies with them to their new home.We’ve tried asking friends, family, and coworkers over the past year if they could adopt him or any of his siblings but have had no luck finding them a home, and now we have too many dogs to take care of on our own.We’ve tried contacting animal shelters, but so far the only one near us that is able to accept pet surrenders told us that they would most likely have to euthanize him. We really don’t want that to happen, but are running out of options right now.
