Story
I need to find a home for my sweet Lucy bear. I picked her up when she was starving and wandering in the middle of the road two years ago and have been caring for her ever since. She is a sweetheart to people but is not good with other animals. Please share with anyone you think could give Lucy a loving home.

Story
We are looking to rehome our Buster boy. He was nothing but a bag of bones when we rescued him at 5 months old and has since grown into a strong 3 year old powerhouse. He has been fiercely loyal to our family, but he needs space to use his working dog skills to their full potential. We don’t know fully his breed, but based on his personality and looks, I’m confident he is in the cur dog family. He is loyal and protective of us, independent and strong willed at times, has a strong prey drive, and could play tug of war for hours. He runs 3+ miles with me and doesn’t skip a beat. I would love to see him go to a home where he could be a ranch dog or a hunting dog, not really being forced to meet “strangers” as often as he does now and given space to work out his energy. We love our guy and will miss him greatly, but we know it’s in his best interest to give him a more suitable home. 🤍
