Story

Karma is such a beautiful and loving sweet girl. I have had her for about 8 months. We got her from a couple who were giving her away. I do not know her medical history prior to coming with us so I am unsure when or if she has had any shots. We were told she had leg surgery. I am unaware of the facts. I do believe she is fixed. She has not had a period whatsoever. A lot has changed for my family in the last few months! We are in the process of moving and unfortunately she cannot come. Surrendering her to a shelter is my last resource. Please help me save her from getting put down if she cannot be adopted. Karma loves love! She cuddles, loves kids and people. She does her business outside. Enjoys her walks and attention. Karma is not aggresive at all. She is such a big baby! She makes a wonderful companion. She is a protector. She listens. She is just truly wonderful. If you have the time, the space and the funds to properly care for her, I promise you wont regret her company.

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Cha Cha was found on the street at around 1 year old and we have had her for a year. She has been spayed and given all shots. She is very loving and playful but because I am disabled I do not have the energy and ability to give her the exercise she needs. Because of this, because she needs to have access to space to run, play, and be walked alot regularly, and I cant give it to her, she is too stressed being in the house all the time. She is fine when left alone, she relaxes, but when others are around she is just too energetic for lack of exercise. She is completley house trained but she does want to chase squirrels and cats. A small child would probably not be a good fit as she would probably knock them down due to how energetic she is. She is very smart and trainable and would be even more trainable with proper exercise. She is a picky eater when it comes to dry dog food but a few tablespoons of puréed wet dog food with some water added on top and mixed fixes that problem.

Size

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Princess is an approximately 3 year old spayed female shepherd mix that desperately needs a home. Her owner was unable to continue to feed her, and a neighbor stepped up to help care for Princess but they are not able to care for her long-term. Princess is good with other dogs, and after having multiple litters of puppies before getting spayed, she is very maternal. She is friendly with strangers but will let you know when they come into the yard! Princess appears to be house-trained and is non-destructive when she comes inside the house at night to sleep. Once she knows where “home” is, she is not one to wander and sticks close to where her people are. Princess is fully vaccinated but is unfortunately heartworm positive.

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

We are looking to rehome our German Shepherd to a family or individual who can give him the time, attention, and exercise he truly deserves. He is a large, strong boy (about 90 lbs) who is sweet, playful, and full of energy. He loves to run, play, and be around people, and he does best with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle and has experience with larger dogs (German Shepherd experience is a plus!). He is: - Potty trained - Very playful and affectionate - Loves attention + playtime - Good dog overall He can be mouthy/nibbly when excited, but he does not bite. He’s still working on manners (he may jump up on furniture/counters and needs continued training and structure). With consistency, time, and daily exercise, he has so much potential and will thrive. He is almost fully up to date on vaccinations. He is not neutered. We will include: crate, bed, feeding bowls, leash, harness, etc.! Please message me with a little info about your home, schedule, and any dog experience!
