Story
Koda is a 5-year-old Border Collie/German Shepherd mix with a gentle spirit and resilient heart. He came to us after his previous owner, facing serious medical challenges, could no longer care for him. Though mostly blind from pannus, Koda has proven incredibly adaptable. Pannus is a lifelong progressive disorder requiring ongoing care.He navigates his home with confidence, manages stairs easily, enjoys toys, and is well house-trained, clearly signaling when he needs to go outside. Koda is deeply affectionate and loves cuddles and close companionship. Because of his vision, he may gently jump up to sniff your breath as his way of saying hello.Koda would do best in a calm, predictable home without young children or other pets, as close quarters can make him uneasy. He has done great with a 9 year old before! He’s not reactive to dogs outdoors and would enjoy relaxed walks. With patience and love, Koda will be a loyal, devoted companion. Please give Koda the loving home he deserves!

Story
Please contact Sheri (sswank1@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  Buck is almost 3 years old, is DNA tested, and guess what!?! He is exactly 50% GSD and 50% Great Pyrenees. What a fun combo for a dog! He gets super excited when he sees me getting my tennis shoes on, or my ball cap because he knows it means we're going hiking. He's 100 pounds of lean handsomeness. LOL. He does well as a couch potato and is calm in the house on a normal quiet day. He is house trained, crate trained and does well with other non dominant dogs. He loves playing fetch with any ball, and if you don't have time to play, Buck plays by himself. I'm looking for a home without young children because Buck does have herding/guarding tendencies. Buck is looking for someone who loves the big boys, and can handle them. Bucks adoption fee is $200, and includes all up to date vaccines, neuter, microchip, flea and heartworm preventative, and endless love and appreciation from BUCK! Please fill out our non-obligatory application at pawsandprayers.org if you would like to adopt him!! Please email sswank1@gmail.com with any questions. This pet qualifies for the Pets for Patriots program  https://www.petsforpatriots.org/veterans/  April 28, 2026, 9:05 am

Story
Meet Velveeta – a 35-pound bundle of melty, goofy goodness! This 10-month-old Shepherd mix is full of life, playful energy, and always wants to be part of whatever you’re doing. Velveeta is an affectionate girl who thrives on attention and will happily follow you everywhere like your little shadow. She is crate trained and housebroken when kept on a consistent schedule. She absolutely loves other dogs and would do best with an active family or a home with a playful canine buddy. She may get right in another dog’s face when she wants to play, but it’s all in good fun—she just can’t help herself, she loves having friends that much. Velveeta did test positive for ehrlichia exposure, which simply means she was exposed at some point. She has no symptoms and feels great. If treatment is ever needed, it’s simple and inexpensive. If you’re looking for a fun, loving, slightly cheesy best friend… Velveeta is your girl.  Adoption is $300 which includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.All animals are up to date on age appropriate shots, microchipped and fixed. To meet one of our animals we require an approved application. You can fill one out at https://tobyscrittercoverescue.org/adoptionapp/ April 28, 2026, 3:04 pm
