(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Bailey is a 6 year old rescue dog who was adopted by us when she was a few months old. She was found underneath a trailer and had experienced some trauma as a puppy. Due to this she has anxiety. Bailey overall is a good dog. She likes to cuddle and go on walks. She is not trained to be without a leash. Reason we can no longer keep her is because she has anxiety around young kids. We have another dog who she has grown up with, she may need to get adjusted around new dogs. She is great for a house dog and will let you know when she has to go outside.

Story
Manny was born July 17, 2024. We adopted him the end of September 2024. He is a pure breed German Shepherd, current on all vaccines and currently still intact. Manny lives with 6 kids, two dogs and three cats. He believes he is a small dog I think, he was raised with two little dogs who still intimidate him even though they are a fraction of his size now. I believe he has fear aggression and lacks confidence. I am not an experienced dog trainer and with 6 kids I never will be. I cannot take him anywhere without a muzzle and we cannot have anyone to our home without locking him up. This brakes my heart. He is so kind, and goofy with us, but the minute he sees a stranger instant fear, retreat but also real aggression. He needs someone who can help him build confidence, teach him to not be afraid, that people just want to play with him. He is incredibly smart and still young so there is hope! If I had the time and the money I would do it, I just do not. Someone please help Manny.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Wiley, (named for the infamous cartoon character Wile E. Coyote!), came to us from the CLE city kennel where he found himself as a stray. Sadly, no one came looking for him, but he didn't let that rough patch get him down! Wiley's mission in life is to find a lap worthy of all-day occupation! Forget weighted blankets, Wiley is a self-heating, portable cuddle buddy guaranteed to increase your happiness! This sweet little goofball operates on two settings; ON (hope you like zoomies!), and OFF. He's basically a semi-professional napper, and if he's sleeping, it's ideally on you! Wiley's resume includes elite level cuddling, advanced tail wagging, and the ability to turn his entire body into a wiggly pretzel when he sees humans. He's currently learning how to adult, and is working hard on basic obedience, crate and house training 101. He's still mastering the practicals, but the effort is there and it counts! He's smart, eager to please, and extremely food motivated, so we know he'll eventually graduate at the top of his class! Wiley loves every dog and person he meets, and views everyone and everything as a potential new best friend. He loves kisses and belly rubs, and while in his enthusiasm he sometimes forgets proper etiquette, he means well and is ready to find the perfect family who will continue to work with him to help him become the little gentleman we know he can be! Wiley is roughly 4 months old, currently 20 lbs, and we guesstimate that he'll be around 45 lbs fully grown. He's up to date on vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and is scheduled to be neutered mid-December. His adoption fee is $450. Please click here to submit an adoption application! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 8, 2025, 6:27 pm
