Story
Pj will be 3 on October 31 2026, I have had him since we was 7 weeks old. He is a very energetic dog and needs to stay active in order to not get bored and cause him to be destructive. He loves going for walks-runs and he’s a great hiking buddy. I think he would make a great hunting dog with the proper training. He knows the basic commands sit/lay/shake. I don’t recommend him being around small children as he gets very excited and does jump a lot. He’s friendly with other dogs if introduced properly. He does not do well off leash as he will chase just about anything and always has his nose on the ground sniffing. He requires a lot of attention and must be crated when left home alone or he will eat anything in his sight as he has separation anxiety. He needs someone who can take him everywhere with them and give him the time he deserves.

Story
Mickey is affectionate and energetic. She sits, heels and stays on command. Mickey gets excited to see people and will jump up, but never in an aggressive way. She needs to be the only pet in the family. She likes to play fetch and catches a ball and a stick well. Mickey cannot get along with any other animals. We rescued her from a shelter 3 years ago and she was my teenage son's dog. My son has now gone to college and my husband had a stroke and cannot help with the animals. We have to keep her separated from our cat and other dog, because she attacked the cat. She has been great about not getting under foot or jumping up on my husband in his weakened condition. But we cannot give her the attention she deserves and it is stressful trying to keep her separated from the other animals. We love her enough to give her the family she deserves. She loves people, but not other animals.

Story
❤️🐾 Help Us Find Snoop His Perfect Forever Home! 🐾❤️ This is an incredibly difficult decision for our family, but we've decided to rehome our sweet boy, Snoop. Snoop is a loving, affectionate Samoyed/Australian Shepherd mix who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and children. He has such a sweet heart and so much love to give! Snoop does have very high energy and struggles with separation anxiety. He needs a patient, understanding family who has the time and dedication to continue his training, help him work through his anxiety, and provide plenty of exercise, playtime, walks, and hikes. With our growing family's needs and changing circumstances, we've realized we cannot give him the time and attention he truly deserves. Snoop isn't a bad dog. He's a wonderful dog who simply needs the right environment to thrive. ❤️ We love him dearly and want nothing more than to find him a safe, loving forever home where he'll be happy, understood, and cherished. 🐾💕

Story
Max is a great Dog he was an awesome father to his puppies he played ball with them, and was always looking out for them. I’d love for him and his son Roscoe to be adopted together. Max was born on October 28, 2023 he came from NC. He was taught his basic commands he knows how to go in his crate. One thing, Max is afraid of heights he won’t jump off of a bed and doesn’t care for you to hold him an walk he does fine on a leash with his paws on the ground, he is also a cuddle bug of the evenings. Loves for you to throw a ball. He is just a super little dog!
