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
Max was abandoned when he came to live with our family about 9 years ago. Due to financial instability, we are relocating and can't bring him with us. He barks a lot so I think a quiet home would be suitable for Max, maybe a small family or even a single person.

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.

Story
Meet Kobe, an enthusiastic, affectionate boy who plays as hard as he loves. He's a fetch fanatic who throws himself into every game with full energy, then takes his well-earned breaks by lying down to chew on the ball before launching back into action. Between rounds, he leans right in for pets and soaks up affection from his favorite people, who he greets with all the excitement they deserve. Life with Kobe means an energetic, loving companion who will keep you active, make you feel like the most important person in the world, and turn every game of fetch into the highlight of his day.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Minerva, though her friends call her Mini and you will too before long. Don’t let the name fool you. This Polly Pocket–sized pittie is all heart in a delightfully compact package. Mini is the kind of dog who quietly works her way into your life and your lap with gentle nuzzles and a deep love for head scratches. If you’ve got hands, she’s got a plan for them. She is not here to run marathons. Mini is a firm believer in the art of the leisurely stroll. Her jaunty little gait has a way of turning ordinary trips around the block into mood-boosting moments, often earning smiles from everyone lucky enough to pass by. She is proof that joy does not have to be loud or fast. Sometimes it is just a happy dog trotting beside you. Mini would thrive as a loving family companion or as the perfect sidekick for someone who wants a calm, steady presence. She is an excellent listener too, especially when her two perky ears pop straight up at the sound of your voice, ready to take in every word like it truly matters. If you are looking for a sweet, easygoing companion who brings warmth, charm, and just the right amount of pep, Mini might be your girl.
