Tookah needs to be adopted due to my son developing allergies to dogs. Tookah is 6 years old and loves attention, cuddles and outside time. He belonged to an ex and he up and left him with me. I would love to find a home for him if possible as he is the absolute best love and care a human can give him. Please feel free to as any questions. A fenced in yard is necessary as well.

Daisy is a lovely, sweet, playful, and well-behaved Lab/GSD mix, and she gets along with other dogs and people of all ages. She’s healthy - she’s 2 1/2, she had a heat cycle in June and was spayed in August, and she’s up to date on vaccinations and heartworm preventative. She is house trained and command trained. Daisy loves to play fetch and run, and she enjoys playing at dog parks and splashing in the water. She’s a wonderful dog, and we want her to live her best life with a big yard and folks who can exercise her.

Oil would love a fenced in yard to run around in! He plays with human and dog friends. Food-rewards driven, treats work best! He has no experience around cats or freely roaming the home and he is crate trained. He gives lots of kisses and has no aggression. We don’t hunt, but we think he would love to be a hunting dog!

Story
Bubbas is a mixed breed who is turning 8 Jan 5,2026. We got bubbas from a “friend” who was treating him very poorly. Never washed, Bubbas was always left in a cage all day sometimes to the point where he would relieve himself in the cage. We took him in because at the time me and my wife wanted to get Bubbas out of that situation and we actually had time to take care of him. Now that my wife is working in the Navy for long periods of time and I work in a shipyard, there’s been less time able to take care and give adequate attention to Bubbas. We own a small apartment and Bubbas loves walks and running, which unfortunately we can’t do for him. I’m simply looking for someone who can love him like one of their own and take good care of him.

Story
Sasha is a confident and sassy 7-year-old terrier mix who lives up to her name with a personality that’s nothing short of fierce. Whether strutting on her daily walks or commanding attention with her spirited bark, she has an undeniable star quality. Like her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, she’s bold, fearless, and always ready to shine. Beneath her diva exterior, though, lies a sweet and loyal heart that craves snuggles and quiet moments with her favorite people. Sasha is the total package—glamorous, loving, and unapologetically herself.
