Story
Poor Chyna was surrendered with some other canine companions when her owner lost housing. While she is guarded and shy initially with new people, she does walk well on a leash and is housebroken. Really, this old gal is just very confused as to what is going on, and we understand—which is why we’re hoping that someone with a heart for older dogs will give her a chance as a foster or furever. She deserves a quiet, stable and loving place to spend her golden years.

Story
Kane was surrendered to me for being too much for an older couple! Kane was raised as a yard dog outside. Since I have had him he has transfered nicely inside the home. He is crate trained, house trained and basic obedience with started off leash recall. Kane is DNA tested as Germansheperd. Belgian malinois, Dutch shepherd and Pitmix. He is also great for professional grooming and getting his nails dremeld. We have worked a lot at busy parks, stores and everyday environments. He wasn't socialized properly when he was young so he can get spooked, but he recovered quickly! When I first got him he was reactive to the world and shut down from playing. He went from barking at any person to now someone can come up and talk to me and he dosent care. He is not a fan of a stranger trying to pet him (he will fear bark and backup), but he will gladly take a treat!!! If he knows you and are introduced properly he is a big soft baby that all he wants to do is play ball. FREE LIFETIME TRAINING

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I was part of a rescue operation for Kyra, 6 siblings, and her mother back in July 2025. The rescue took hours, volunteers and planning due to the puppies nursing on mom at 4 months old. Once we successfully got them, I realized Kyra and I shared a bond that I couldn’t ignore. As wonderful as this story sounds, sometimes it doesn’t work out. My job’s travel requirements have significantly increased. Kyra who is my entire world, is crumbling, as a result. She struggles with inconsistency, specifically when her person is gone, home, gone again. Kyra is a loyal, sensitive, trainable, dog who thrives on consistency and structure. She would benefit from someone that is patient and able to guide her through some of the challenges that she faces. Currently prescribed Prozac to help her anxiety. When she becomes anxious she stops eating. I had a behaviorist consult with the recommendation was to rehome her. This is not something I want, but my love for her will not supersede her needs.

Story
Jax was born on 04/04/2020. He’s a black and tan full bread German Shepherd. He is neutered. His vaccinations are up to date. He’s a really good dog—friendly, gentle, and easy to be around. He gets along well with other dogs but prefers to be the alpha and is great with kids. He loves attention and always wants to be around people. He’s very active and enjoys being outside, whether it’s running around, playing, or just getting some fresh air. He loves to take rides in the car and loves toys. He has a lot of energy and would do best with someone who can spend time with him and keep him active. Overall, Jax is a loyal and loving dog who would make a great addition to a family. He has mixed feelings about cats and may do better in a home without cats. Though he has resided with cats before. We have the records (including akc paperwork) from his first owner and his time with us. We have a bed, some toys, a collar and harness, leash, and 4-5 months of simparico trio that will come with hi
