Story
Meet Macie – Your Next Solo Adventure Buddy! Macie is a gorgeous, loyal, and high-energy companion looking for a calm, pet-free home where she can thrive. She's about as sharp as they come — obedient, eager to please, and absolutely lives for training sessions and performing tricks. If you’ve ever dreamed of having a dog that could dominate an obedience ring or just impress your friends with her skills, Macie is your girl. She loves fetch, long walks, and staying active, making her a perfect fit for someone with an adventurous lifestyle. She's also incredibly affectionate once she trusts you and will be your shadow in the best way possible. Macie does best in a home without young children or other pets — she wants to be your one and only, and honestly, she deserves it. With the right person, Macie will be an incredible partner for years to come.

Story
Doug is a 65lb 6-year-old neutered male who is house trained, crate trained, up-to-date on all shots and preventatives, and knows all basic commands. He does wonderfully at the groomer, vet, and dog sitter. He is a total velcro dog, and wants to be around you all the time, preferably being pet or snuggled! Doug is fantastic with cats, chickens, and our other large dog. Due to a couple large, off-leash dogs rushing him, he is dog-selective, and does not do well with other large dogs. He walks nicely on a leash and loves to go hiking, we just make sure to move off the trail when other dogs approach. Doug is allergic to chicken and gets seasonal allergies that we manage with Benadryl. We have a toddler and a baby on the way, and while EXCELLENT with school age children and older, Doug shows consistent signs of stress around our unpredictable toddler (stiff/frozen body and whale eyes) and deserves a home where he will be comfortable and get lots of love and attention without the stress.

Story
Hi! I'm Piper - are you my new owner? I am a highly intelligent, trained, loyal and affectionate, 3 year old shep-a-doodle with periods of high energy needing a new forever family. Due to my current owner's health issue and having to move, they are no longer able to help me be my best self. I love to run and play ball in a big yard! Taking walks, playing with my toys and tug-of-war are also some of my favorite past times! I will make a good companion as I love to tag along wherever you're going. I love to be loved and am looking for someone to love me back. My bags are packed with approximately a 3 month food supply, my favorite treats, and toys as well as 3 months' supply of flea/tick prevention and heartworm medication. If you're able to help offset some of this cost as the "adoption fee," my current owner would appreciate it!

Story
Daisy is super sweet and loves to cuddle. She's still young, we think around 4 years old now. She was a rescue, so it's not entirely sure. Lots of energy for playtimes and very smart. She knows her recall and will work for treats. Fully up to date at the vet. Her main issue is other dogs. We've worked on it, but she still gets anxiety when another dog comes around. I just started grad school while I'm working full time, so I'm not able to give her the proper devotion anymore. It's not fair to her.
