Story
Meet Wallen, a 1-year-old husky mix who is one of those dogs you remember long after you meet him. He is an easygoing, sweet boy who truly enjoys being around people and would do great with a family. Wallen has his own unmistakable style thanks to the fur along his back that naturally sticks up like a mullet-meets-mohawk, which is exactly how he ended up with his name after reminding us of Morgan Wallen’s signature hairstyle. He is fun without being wild, affectionate without being over the top, and the kind of dog who fits right in while still managing to stand out.The adoption fee for this pet is $75. This cost includes spay/neuter, microchip, and all vaccines.January 27, 2026, 1:47 pm

Story
Moxie was adopted from foster care in Florida. She is very energetic and likes attention. She also loves to lay down and sleep wherever you are. She is very protective of our family and home. However, we have another female dog in our home and they do not get along and have hade very severe fights. We have tried for years to make it better. Nothing has worked. So they have to be on either side of our Den, on leashes hooked to the wall. We take them outside to play and walk them several times a day but that’s not always possible. They do not get to roam around their own home and we have to sit on the floor with them to give hugs and snuggles. These dogs may live another 8-10 years and it’s no way to live. Moxie is the youngest and we feel she will adjust better to a home where she is the only dog, no small kids, and has lots of room to roam around and play. Our hearts are broken but it’s not about us, it’s about what’s best for her.

Story
Destiny is a puppy who is 6 mo. old. She has lots of energy, and likes to run outside, sit out in the sun, play with balls, plush animals, and plastic bottles. She is potty trained, responds to the "sit" command and notifies you when she wants to go outside and come inside. She is an explorer and very curious about her surroundings. Because she is still a puppy, she has a tendency to bite your hands and feet and chew on anything she can find. She loves to receive attention and if you do not give it to her, she will let you know by picking up one of her chewing toys and bringing it to you for a game of tug-of-war or will gently bite you for attention. Her sleep schedule is from 10 pm - 5 am. Does well with small kids and among other dogs. Will bark only when needing attention. Looking to re-home with a loving family who will give her all the attention she deserves. It breaks our heart to let go of her but due to our busy schedules and lifestyle, we are unable to
