Story
Home WITHOUT dogs, cats, or kids needed! Jesse is a 8-year old mutt who we have had for the past 7 years. He is a super sweet boy who loves nothing more than to keep you company all day and snuggle with blankets and his stuffed animal friends! ❤ He is our first baby and we love him like crazy! Unfortunately, Jesse is used to being an “only child” and has become increasingly anxious and uncomfortable around our son who was born this summer. Jesse is a truly sweet companion who really likes to just hang out with you! Since he is older, he is not very high-energy. He does enjoy walks and sniffing but he is pretty low-maintenance in that regard! If you have a yard, he loves to “sun” and relax outside. He is very content spending most of the day hanging out in the same room as you- he just wants to be around people ❤ We are able to provide everything Jesse needs (food, toys, crate, bed, etc.) and would love to set up a meet and greet! Thank you so much!

Story
These girls are a bonded pair that I have had about 2 years. They just want love and a little attention. I recently moved to a new house and gave myself about an hour commute both ways to work and back, leaving them alone 10-12 hours per day. They evidently don't like this and have started digging out of the yard. Neighbors have rescued them several times over the last couple of weeks and I cannot barricade my whole yard to keep them in. The thought of shock collars bother me so that's not really an option. They have a heated/air-conditioned dog house and a fairly large yard to be about during the day. But they are still getting out daily. They will get run over if I don't do something soon. The must go together as they are sisters and have been together their whole lives.

Story
Phillip is a very emotional, intuitive, caring, protective, disciplined 3.5 year old. He would really love a large yard, with room to roam. He thrives on being around people, is kennel/house/potty trained, and ready to breed. His price is negotiable. We would love to keep him however, our schedule is just too busy right now and we want to see him go to a good home who can give him the time and attention he deserves!

Story
Luna is a seven year old AKC pure breed Chocolate Lab. She has been a great family dog. We will be having our third child and we can't be as active with Luna as she deserves. She is house and kennel trained, loves swimming, does great on road trips in a car, and loves other dogs and kids. Luna is trained both on and off a leash and is very well behaved off a leash.

Story
Henry is a stunning two year old pup that would love someone to help him into the next chapter of his life. He is currently in a board and train program and has some impeccable manners! He has learned sit, down, stay, plays with a ton of dogs, working on recall off leash and the trainer said he's an amazing dog! If adopted locally, the trainer will continue to help with his training - what more can you ask for, a trained dog that would love a running buddy and has the back up of a local trainer! You HAVE to meet this dog to believe how amazing he is! Let's get this guy into the loving home he deserves. He would do better in an adult only home because he gets too excited and will jump, but with the trainer and home training, he can control himself. He needs an active strong man to be able to continue with his training.

Story
Meet Nick! He is a sweet pup who was adopted out last September, and was sadly returned Feb 2023 because the family is moving and could not take him. Nick is just under a year old and is approximately 50 pounds. We are unsure what breed he is, but he has a gorgeous brindle coat and a lean body. While with his former family, he lived with kids and was reported to do great around them. He is fairly shy around adults but needs someone to work with him on building his confidence. Nick loves to be around other dogs and would greatly benefit from living with one. He is a great dog and needs some extra reassurance and stability. Nick would benefit from living in a home with a fenced yard and needs an owner who understands he is shy and will need some time to decompress.
