Story
Wolf is a sweet, smart, active dog. She will be 3 years old on Dec 25, 2026. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old. She’s great with my other 2 dogs, good with older children, but does not like cats. Or squirrels! I was gifted this dog but have never really been able to spend the time with her that she requires to live a full happy life due to my own special needs children. She’s current on shots and spayed. Potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands. HIGHLY food motivated, she loves cheese! She needs someone who is able to take her on long walks daily, throw the tennis ball outside with her, and allow her to grow into the brilliant beautiful happy dog that she truly is!

Story
Hi, my name is Jack and I'm about 5 years old.  I was rescued by Bond County Humane Society from Fayette County Animal Control.  I was surrendered to Animal Control by my owner because he could not take care of me.  He said I was his wife's dog and she passed away.  I have had three legs since I was a puppy.  I broke my leg before I had been adopted as a puppy and it didn't heal properly so my leg had to be amputated.  Missing a leg does not keep me from doing the things I like.   I like to go for walks and play in the yard with Harper, another shelter dog. I am well mannered and know "Sit" and "Shake".   I am very friendly towards everyone.  I need the company of either a person or another animal to be content.  Shelter life has not been easy for me. I would do best with a family that someone is home most of the time.  I do not like to be crated or kept in any enclosure.  I'm not a big fan of the kiddie swimming pool.  I stand on the outside next to the pool and drink out of it, but I don't get in it.   I am house trained.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am neutered, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee is $150.  If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org.  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.September 22, 2026, 4:03 pm

Story
Cayde is a 4 year old German Shepherd. He is a sweet boy but recently started growling at our two year daughter and did bite my husband. That was the first time he has done anything like that in the four years we’ve had him. We just have to put our daughter’s safety first. He needs a big yard to run and play. He doesn’t play with toys but will run after them if he sees another dog running after it but won’t pick it up. He loves his chest scratched and cuddles. We believe the bite was a one time thing because he hasn’t tried to do it again and is back to his happy self.
