Story
Winnie is 11 years old. She is very sweet and loves attention. She is a senior dog now, but is still very active. She loves kids. She has been the only pet in the home so, I'm unsure how she would get along with other pets. We have moved and much has changed in our home. We are unable to give her the time and attention that she needs. She spent most of her days outside, at our previous house, and spent night inside, therefore house training has been difficult. She also has a tendendancy to run off, which creates a challenge. She needs a loving home with patient caregivers that are willing to work with her.

Story
Piper has a wonderful personality. She is full of energy and loves attention. When you are crying she will stop at nothing to crawl in your lap to console you. She is a very happy dog and full of life. We have had her for 6 years, since a puppy, and she has been a joy. We are starting to travel a lot and cannot bring her with us. We would like her to go to someone that can give her all the love and attention she can handle. She loves going on walks but may need a little training on the leash with pulling. She is a good listener and VERY smart. Almost too smart for her own good. Piper has such an amazing personality and I would love for her to go to someone that can give her everything she deserves.

Cooper

Golden Retriever

Male, Adult
Tyler, TX
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cooper was a rescue we found in 2022, they believed he was about 2 when we found him so our best guess is he is now 6! He loves people and loves getting pets, overall he is low maintenance and loves to relax. He loves sniffing everything on walks, he is good on a leash and is kennel trained. If he will be around other dogs it’s best if they are smaller and he doesn’t feel threatened by them. We believe he was abused previously.

Story
Belle was born February 23, 2026, making her almost seven months old. She is energetic, smart, playful, and sweet. I love her to death, but she requires a looooot of attention and constantly needs to be outside and play, which is normal puppy behavior; but I work 40hr weeks and so I don't have the energy to be constantly playing with her, and since I live in apartment I can't let her outside to play. She can normally behave decently inside but she just needs more time outside than I am able to supply, so she needs a home with a backyard. For anyone willing to adopt her, I'm happy to give you all the supplies I already bought for her (crate, bed, toys, leash, etc).
