Story

This is Piglet the house hippo! She is a lovely staffy mix, 3yrs old, 65lbs. She is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and microchipped. We recently adopted Piglet from the Humane Society, but are hoping to rehome her without having her go back in the shelter due to some issues with family members small dogs. She is the sweetest dog. She loves people and LOVES snuggles. Her favorite things are balls, looking out the window, and falling asleep sitting up. She is relatively low energy, romping around in the yard for a bit in enough for her, although she also loves fetch. Piglet is crate trained and has been left alone for an 8hr work day. Piglet needs to be the only dog in the home, and she is not a fan of small dogs or cats. Again, she LOVES people. Piglet would do well as a house hippo and companion in a house with a fenced yard.

Story

Please help us. We love her so much. How can I describe Gabby other than perfect?She has a slightly (enormous) addiction to the chuck it and playing fetch... She loves fruits and veggies. whip cream(a daily treat when I get home). Sweet potatoes is her favorite treat. She loves the dog park and adventures. She will greet you excitedly when you get home with a wagging tail and giant smile. She's just so sweet and so perfect. She's in a small apartment right now and she doesn't seem to mind. She would be perfect for a fenced yard and maybe a friend dog. I would bet running and hiking would also be something she'd be great at. A real adventure pal. We love her and this isn't easy. She needs snuggles and someone o.k. with her lack of personal space awareness. She deserves the absolute best because she is the absolute best. 🩷🩷🩷💯🐶

Story

Hi, my name is Scrappy. I’m 7 years old and I’m looking for a family who can give me all the love and attention I deserve. My family loves me very much, but they’re expecting a baby in a few months and life has gotten really busy for them. I’m not super active or hyper, I mostly just enjoy being around my people, relaxing, getting pets, and feeling included. I’m a sweet boy who just needs a home where I can get more one-on-one attention and affection. My family wants the absolute best for me, and they’re hoping to find someone who will love me like their own and give me a happy, comfortable life.As far as my health goes, I’m a very healthy boy and I’m up to date on all of my shots and vet care. I don’t have any known health issues. The only thing is I’m not neutered because I previously had puppies of my own. Other than that, I’m happy, healthy, and ready to find my next loving home.

Story

Meet Rocky 🐾Rocky Road is a lovable 1-year-old pup with a big personality and lots of energy. He’s playful, food motivated, and always ready for adventure. He loves to run, play, and be active.He is house-trained and has done well in the home, but like many young dogs, he’s still learning. He can be a chewer if he doesn’t get enough exercise and stimulation, and he may jump when excited to greet people.Rocky comes from a hunting line, so he would thrive in an active home that can provide plenty of exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. He’d do best with someone who enjoys outdoor activities and understands the needs of an energetic dog.This has been a very hard decision, as our Rocky Road is deeply loved. Due to an upcoming move and not being able to give him the active lifestyle he deserves, we want to find him a home where he can truly thrive. ❤️🐶
