Story
I got Hope back in October unexpectedly since a friend of mine rescued her and I was very unaware of her history. From what I've been told she was abused and picked on from the other dogs. I've been doing the best that I can with her and don't have the money to hire a professional trainer. Here is a little bit about her, she's super sweet & cuddly but due to her past she's very wary of people. We would have to set up multiple meets up to ensure she feels comfortable with you because of that. Very smart and a quick learner, could potentially be a work dog with the correct training. She is high energy and a Velcro dog, she wants to be wherever you are at. Some of the issues I've been having is resource guarding, destroying items in the house, she doesn't know her boundaries with other dogs. I don't have a stable living situation and I can't give her what she needs. I do require to have a house and back yard, she can run around in. If you are interested please let me know thank you

Story
Zane is almost a year and a half he was born in November 2024, he is very energetic and loves to play with anyone who will play with him! Zane is great with kids, cats and other dogs. Zane is house trained and kennel trained, he goes to sleep in his kennel at 8pm. He is a very loving dog, who still likes to think he’s a lap dog and will give you lots of kisses. I am going to be leaving for a deployment and not able to leave him with anyone.

Story
My husband and I adopted Bean when he was 2 and 1/2 years old in 2019. He is very loud and energetic. He needs a lot of exercise and mental stimulation which unfortunately he isn’t getting at home. He currently takes anxiety medication sometimes. We adore Bean. He’s silly and loves to play but is also kind of aloof and just wants to chill alone. He’s not really a cuddler but he likes to sit really close to you and is very obsessed with pets. We have a toddler and unfortunately he makes Bean really anxious, although he handles the toddler well. I think he would be best in a home with no children or older children. He does ok with most dogs if introduced correctly. He does well with our cat but barks at all other cats. He also has a nervous humping problem with strangers, especially men. He might do better in a house with only women, or at least one non male person. He have a microchip but it is not activated. He is about 8 years old.

Meet Odyssey, a big, smiley boy whose goofy personality is impossible not to love. He's energetic and always wants to be right in the middle of whatever's happening, whether that's a long walk or a play session in the yard. Watch him bound around and you'll see those floppy ears bouncing every which way, perfectly capturing the silly, joyful spirit that makes him who he is. Life with Odyssey means a fun-loving, larger-than-life companion who will bring a smile to your face every single day.
