Story
Max is an exceptional 3-year-old rescue who has been my faithful companion and my son's devoted guardian since he was 11 months old. Rescued from an abusive home, he's blossomed into the most loving, well-behaved dog anyone could ask for. Max is incredible with children he grew up with my now 3-year-old son and they share an unbreakable bond. His manners are impeccable: doesn't chew furniture, never steals food, and only barks when he senses real danger. He loves healthy treats like apples and carrots, and thrives with his playful zoomies 4-5 times weekly. This dog has been more than a pet he's been my service companion through life's toughest moments. Rehoming him is heartbreaking, but financial difficulties forced us into an apartment that doesn't allow large dogs. Max deserves a family with space to run, people who'll cherish his gentle spirit, and the commitment to give him the wonderful life he deserves. He has so much love left to give. Please take care of my champion.

Story
Carrots is an owner give up to our rescue. Below is the information her owner gave us initially. I have had Carrots for almost two years now. She has been the most amazing friend I could have asked for. She rarely barks and only lets out an occasional whine if she needs to go out or is wanting some attention. She’s a well behaved for a dog that lives her life with me in a small dorm and can only go out to play fetch or go for a walk when I’m not at class or work. She needs better. In general, she has been amazing for the hand she’s been dealt. I actually couldn’t be more grateful for how well she’s treated me as she’s grown to be near a full two years old!! I am having to part with her because she is still a puppy, and I’m a Junior in college struggling to work and commute on weekends when I have to, and give her the attention she deserves. She’s trained well. She sits on command, she can stay if you ask, she’s house trained, and she’s comfortable with her kennel if needed. She uses a harness for walks and does great. She was trained to walk on the left of you and she’s usually pretty good about staying focused. She has started the process of being an ESA certified dog but has not rec'd her second certification. Her previous owner said that she was around a child once and growled so we do not recommend her with small children. She has never been around cats so we cannot say whether she will or will not be okay arounds feline friends. She would make a great family member for an active family. If you would like to add Carrots to your home, please message us and we will send you an application. Carrots is being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! The adoption fee includes her medical for a health certificate and transport to you. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Story
My Requirements: -No catsHi, I`m Rad and it`s great to meet you! I absolutely live up to my name. I`m a fun shepherd mix who is outgoing, engaged, and full of energy. I greet each day with enthusiasm and joy. I love people and other dogs- if there`s a chance to make new friends, I`m all in. I`m a smarty pants who learns quickly and truly wants to please. I`m the kind of dog who makes training fun because I`m tuned in, curious and eager to show off how smart I am. When it`s time to play I go all out. Fetch is life, and I`ll happily chase that ball again and again. When we`re done playing, I`m just as committed to cuddling on the couch. I`m a volunteer favorite here at the shelter because I bring good energy wherever I go. My new home can have other dogs, but it can`t have cats. Send in an application to meet me today!

Story
Meet Tye – The Comeback King with a Goofy Soul and a Grin You’ll Never ForgetAvailable for Adoption or Foster  Looking for a big-hearted, goofy boy who will make you laugh every single day? That’s me! I’m Tye, and I’ve come a long way to get here. I’m a 6-year-old German Shepherd with a million-dollar smile and a comeback story to match. When I first came into the shelter, I was in rough shape — my eyes were sealed shut from infection, and my ears had been neglected for so long that they needed surgery. But I never gave up. I spent five months in the hospital getting the care I needed, and now? I’m healthy, healed, and full of joy. I’m a big guy with a big appetite and an even bigger heart. I still need a little daily help, mostly with my eyes. They need to be cleaned every day, but I’m very sweet about it. My ears are closed after surgery, so my hearing isn’t perfect - but I’m not deaf. I can still hear things, especially when someone’s saying “dinner” or “walk!” What you’ll notice most about me, though, is how happy I am. I play by tossing my toys in the air, I give my paw when I want love, and I flash my trademark grin just to see you smile back. I’ve got medium energy — I love walks and playtime, but I also know how to chill. I’m good with other dogs, good with tweens and up, and great with people. Brushing, petting, bonding — I live for it. If you’re looking for a dog who makes you laugh, gives you love, and reminds you that joy always finds a way… that’s me. I’ve already survived the hard part. Now I just need someone to help me thrive. I’m looking for my family, and I’m happy to do foster-to-adopt — my rescue will even cover the costs while I’m in foster care. So what do you say? Ready to give a good boy his best chapter yet? Let’s write our story together.— Tye ##2406949##

Story
ZOOOOOMMMMIES FROM OUTER SPACE Available for Foster or Adoption Pluto has landed. Earth wasn’t ready. If you’re looking for a calm, reserved companion who quietly observes life from the sidelines… keep scrolling. But if you’re ready for full-blown joy wrapped in a 70 lb shepherd/lab mix with soft eyes and faster-than-light zoomies, then Hi! I’m Pluto. I’m a 1.5 year old, fully neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative—and I’m pretty sure I’m your soulmate. Yes, I’m named after a planet (or a cartoon dog, depending on who you ask), and yes, I bring galactic-level good vibes. I’m from another world, but I’ve mastered a few Earthly skills you’ll appreciate: Potty-trained — No surprises on the rug. I’ve got self-respect. Leash pro — I stick right by your side. No tugging, no drama. Toy lover — I just discovered toys and I’m obsessed, but I don’t destroy them. Promise. Dog-friendly — I light up around other pups and would love a buddy to play with. Kid-certified — I love kids and will happily match their energy (and clean up snack crumbs). Cat-friendly-ish — I don’t chase them… I run from them. Those tiny tigers spook me. What really makes me special? I’m extremely social—like, walk-down-the-street-and-make-friends-with-strangers social. I want to say Hi to everyone, wag my tail at every passing dog, and be part of every moment. I don’t just want to be in your life—I want to orbit around you, day and night. I’m ready to bring joy, zoomies, and deep-space cuddles to someone who gets me. I've been trained so I'm a good boy, I'll listen to you. So…Ready to adopt a cosmic-level good boy?Apply now. Pluto is in your orbit—and closing in fast. ##2454138##
