Story
He has been a great dog. He loves to play. Love to cuddle. We have 4 kids and not had any issues, however we recently went camping and he seemed to do great with little ones and then didn’t. He did not bite, but put on a display of barking that scared a few little kids. we don’t have the skill or experience to evaluate if he would so unfortunately he is not a good fit for us. We are not sure if he was overwhelmed or what. He really is a good dog for a family without friends of little ones. He is almost a year old.

Story
My dog is an amazing dog. She is so loving and so sweet. I really don’t want to get rid of her but my house is old and the windows leaked this winter and created mold in our house. She is allergic to the mold in is sick and can get better staying in the house while we model it. It’s costly and will take time. I don’t want to keep her in a house that is constantly and continuously keeping her sick. It’s unfair to her. I am hoping to find a home for her fast so she can get better. There is no cost to adopt her because she needs a new 🆕 lace fast. She comes with items.

Story
We took in our neighbor's dog due to them having to deal with an immediate personal matter resulting in them no longer being able to keep their dog. As we already have two dogs of our own, we knew we couldn't keep him permanently. We just wanted to keep him out of the shelter and rehome him as soon as possible. He's not perfect but he's young and sweet and wants to please. He is dog friendly/curious and potty and kennel trained. He seems to still be working on command training/recall though. He is not aggressive towards other dogs and/or people but he does need to be neutered. He likes to play, as he's only 4 and has those zoomies, but he also seems content to just lay next to you and sleep. He's what one would consider a Velcro dog, but in all the good ways. He's so sweet.Bubba has had a rough start in life... But if you have the space for a new family member, please contact me and we'll give you all the information we know. He's a good dog who deserves a second chance.

Story
Button’s tan eyebrows are just one unique and adorable characteristic of this loving girl. Her owner has been ill and she has sat by his chair for many months and now, with a terminal diagnosis it’s time for her to find a forever home. She is calm and happy to sunbathe all day, but also fit enough for long walks. She loves cuddles and knows how to wait in her crate while the humans step out. We tried to rehome her with a family friend and there was an incident where she was aggressive toward the other dog. This is very much so different than what we have known of her. So she needs to have a very experienced owner and if not be the only pet in the house.
