Story
Missy is an energetic, affectionate, and incredibly lovable dog who thrives on attention and companionship. She is happiest indoors, close to her people, and truly has the personality of a “people dog.” She loves to cuddle, be near her family, and spend time with those she trusts. She would do best in a home where she can primarily live indoors, with access to a small, securely fenced outdoor area. At our current home, she uses a doggie door and enjoys safely going in and out throughout the day within a fenced yard. We are relocating to a larger 5-acre property, and unfortunately Missy does not do well with wide open spaces. She tends to wander in search of people and companionship, which makes this environment unsafe for her. She has always done very well in a traditional fenced yard and clearly prefers the comfort and security of being inside with her humans. Missy would be a wonderful fit for a single owner, couple, or family looking for a loyal companion and best friend.

Story
Lyra is a beautiful, 100% Siberian Husky who is an absolute sweetheart. She is 4 years old and spayed, with much more life to live! I don’t have enough space to provide her after my recent move, and it breaks my heart to have to do this. She spends much time around my 1 and a half year old nephew and is extremely well mannered around him. She has spent her whole life around my other dogs and is very good with them, she has never had any issues with other dogs! I just want to give her the life she deserves, unfortunately after moving and starting my own company I just don’t have much time to give her what she needs. I know you will love her as much as my family has!

Story
Hello, I am reluctantly needing to do this. My neighbor found Ranger as a stray in summer of 2024. He was at young pup at that time, hungry, thirsty. He had no collar, no tag and no chip. She had 8 cats attractive, so I took him in. I already had a terrier dog ( Muffin) that I adopted because my friends brother died suddenly from a heart attack. I too started to have serious heart issues at end of 2024 and had an urgent surgery. It did not go well and I have ongoing nerve damage. It’s very difficult for me to walk Ranger for any length of time, due to pain, I just can’t keep him so am needing to do this. He is a very loving dog. That said if another dog is persistently aggressive with him, he will defend himself, but does not initiate that behavior. He needs a good home with lots of attention and walks. Would be good for a home with kids. He would do well on a larger property, he loves to run. He has natural tendencies to protect property and owners and is always on point and alert.
