Story
Meet Sam, a resilient and deeply affectionate 4-year-old tripod dog. After spending his first 200 days in a shelter, Sam has spent the last year becoming a master of "nose-bops" and gentle nudges to show his love. He is a smart, potty-trained boy who knows his commands and boasts excellent recall on our property. While Sam is fantastic with chickens, ducks, and rabbits, he is a natural "alpha" and needs a home where he is either the only dog or paired with a submissive companion. Sam is great with kids of all ages! We are making the heartbreaking decision to rehome him only to ensure the peace and safety of our senior dog. Sammy is a loyal, special soul ready for his next great adventure.

I just got a new job that requires me to work a lot of overtime. This isn’t fair to Ace. I live alone and he was my champion but I don’t have the time to dedicate to him. He is so sweet and has never ever bit me or anyone. He understands that is a no no! Please help me rehome him where he can be happy!

Story
I purchased my dog from online and he was born with a hernia and a testicle that had not descended. His testicle was repaired but he still has the hernia. I originally got him as an emotional support animal and I have had him for 7 years. He is a great dog, lovable, sweet but very needy and my previous circumstances allowed me to give him all the love and attention he needed but now my work hours no longer allow that. He sleeps with me and likes to lie right next to me and sit on my lap. He hasn’t been around other animals or children so he doesn’t do well around them unfortunately. He needs someone he is loving and kind and will treat him well and give him lots of love and attention that he deserves and it pains my heart that I even have to give him up.

Story
Hi, this is Spuddy! He’s a very sweet chunky boy who loves to play and be loved on. He is a good boy and knows basic commands but at times can be a little slow. All brawn’s but no brains. He can be a scaredy cat but will also protect his loved ones. He’s great with his sister and mom but doesn’t like boys!
