Story
Dillon is my 4-year-old, 45 lb rescue pup who I adopted from the Humane Society when he was 6 months old. He has been my best friend and greatest comfort, and this is the hardest decision I have ever had to make. Due to job relocation, financial instability, and his behavioral needs, I cannot give him the stable home he deserves. Dillon is crate and potty trained, loves tug of war, car rides, and adores being outside, so a fenced yard is a must. He's loving, loyal, and the best snuggler once he trusts you. Dillon struggles with fear-based reactivity toward strangers, so he needs a patient, experienced owner who is home often and can give him time to warm up. He does great with other dogs after slow introductions and would love a canine friend to play with. He's very food motivated, goofy, protective, and full of heart. He truly is the perfect dog in the right, calm home with someone who understands him and will love him unconditionally.

Story
This sweet 6-year-old, 15-pound survivor is finally ready for her forever home! After spending her early years as a street dog in Puerto Rico and raising multiple litters, she’s getting her first real chance to simply be someone’s cherished companion. Despite her rough past and a few physical challenges — she’s missing one eye and has some old injuries to her back legs — she gets around wonderfully. She walks well on a leash, is fully potty trained, and is picking up basic commands quickly (especially when snacks are involved!). You’d never guess she once lived on the streets. She’s taken to indoor life like a natural! Her ideal day includes cozy naps, gentle strolls, and plenty of snuggles. She’s an excellent house companion and loves curling up beside her person for pets and affection. She’s even starting to enjoy toys! Once she feels comfortable, she becomes the sweetest cuddle bug. She does well with both cats and dogs after a proper introduction, and she’s now spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. She’s looking for: An experienced dog owner who understands she’ll need a little time to adjust A calm, loving home where she can feel safe A home with teenage children or older This resilient girl has overcome so much and has endless love to give. Could you be her perfect match? ##2261099##

Baxter is a 6-month-old puppy with a sweet heart and a playful, happy-go-lucky personality. Weighing about 30 pounds, he’s full of charm and endless affection. He loves to play, enjoys his treats, and while he can be a little shy at first, he’s quickly picking up leash manners and basic commands — he’s a smart boy. He’s great with dogs, cats, and kids, making him a wonderful match for many different families. Baxter was found as a stray in Puerto Rico with his three siblings — Maverick, Cash, and Stormi. Despite his tough start, he’s blossomed into a joyful, fun-loving pup who’s ready to bring that happiness to a forever home. One of Baxter’s standout features is his beautiful blue eye, which perfectly matches his gentle, sweet nature. He especially loves to play and would be thrilled to have another doggy friend in his new home. Playful, affectionate, and eager for love, Baxter is ready to find a family who will cherish him forever. ##2514601##
