Story
Ben is a 140-pound gentle giant who will turn 9 in August. He is a loving, affectionate, people-oriented dog who thrives on companionship and being part of a family. I adopted him when he was about one year old, and he has spent nearly seven years with my family, growing up alongside two older large-breed dogs, including a Great Dane to whom he was especially attached. Over the past two years, both of his longtime canine companions passed away due to old age. After the loss of his closest companion, his behavior changed, and he began excessive licking and grooming that resulted in an open wound on his right hind leg. The wound has been difficult to heal because he continues to lick the area when unsupervised. Ben is not being rehomed because of aggression or behavioral problems. He would do best in a home with more companionship, attention and ideally other friendly dogs. He will come with his favorite futon mattress and toys. Ben is due for his annual vaccinations and rabies booster.

Story
Willa is the sweetest girl that is all ready to go to her forever home. She gets along great with kids, cats, dogs and pigs. She loves to run her long legs in the yard (she will be best in a home with a yard). She is crate trained and doing great with potty training with very few mistakes. At not quite 5 months old, she is at least 30lbs, so she will be a large adult dog. But…. Her heart will be just as big as she aims to please. Get your apps in quickly, she will steal hearts fast!June 17, 2026, 6:52 pm
