Story
We are looking for a new home for our Benji. He's been with us for five years and has been a faithful companion. Unfortunately we travel a lot and it's been challenging to arrange for his care while were away. We also have a baby and it's been challenging to give him the attention he needs. We're hoping to find him a new home with a loving family!

Story
Marie is a sweet, purebred black Labrador Retriever and a good family dog. She plays well with children and has always behaved well with other dogs. She is just over a year old and has her AKC paperwork from the breeder if you would like to register her. She is not spayed, and we had intended her to be the start of generations of family dogs. Marie is on the smaller side for a full-sized lab, despite having an appetite, but well-proportioned. She still has puppy energy, but is trained to sit and listens well. She is from Alaska, where we were stationed in the military. The breeder and another family who watched her for a few months during the move used doggy doors, which is common there, and she learned to go outside whenever the spirit moved her. Unfortunately, when she does not have that ability, she tends to poop in the house. We are looking for someone with the space and home layout to provide her more freedom than we are able.

Story
Weight: 105Lbs Meet Galaxy 🌌 — a 105-lb Lab mix who spent her life giving, but never getting. Galaxy is severely overweight, not from love or treats, but from years as a breeder release, where her body was used and her world was small. She never learned what walks were for, what toys were, or that a home could be kind. Still, somehow, she came out extraordinarily sweet, gentle, and desperate to be close to people. She is not potty trained, simply because no one ever taught her. No couch, no routine, no second chances — until now. Galaxy is standing at the very beginning of life for the first time. First walks. First toys. First soft bed. First time being someone’s whole heart instead of a job. She’s starting a slow, healthy weight-loss journey, but what she needs most is a family willing to show her patience, grace, and love. Galaxy is ready to experience every first she was denied — with you. 💔❤️ Dogs: Unknown, we recommend bringing all pups in to get to know me! Cats; Unknown Kids: Unknown, please bring all family members in to meet me!

Story
Weight: 50Lbs Meet Cooper ✨ — yes, with two R’s, because one simply isn’t enough for this much personality. Cooper is a sweet, goofy poodle mix with a soft heart, a silly streak, and the most legendary hair you’ve ever seen. Seriously… his eyebrows have eyebrows. Cooper can be a little aloof when he’s out and about, taking his time to observe the world like a thoughtful professor behind those very expressive brows. But once he feels comfortable, his goofy, affectionate side makes an appearance, and it’s absolutely worth the wait. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly steal your heart and then make you laugh five minutes later. That glorious hair does come with responsibility — Cooper will need regular grooming to keep him comfortable, confident, and able to see where he’s going. (Those eyebrows are iconic, but even icons need maintenance.) With proper grooming and a little patience, Cooper truly shines. If you’re looking for a unique, lovable companion who’s equal parts sweet soul and walking cartoon character, Cooper is ready to raise an eyebrow… and maybe your happiness level too. 💕🐩 Dogs: Unknown, we highly rec. a meet & Greet Cats: Unknown Kids: Unknown, we rec. a Meet & Greet!

Story
Hi, I’m Burger 🍔 I come with a sugar face that makes humans say “aww” before they even realize it, and a heart that’s even softer than my ears. I might be shy at first—like, stand there politely pretending I’m not desperate for love shy—but please don’t let that fool you. That’s just my warm-up phase. Once I decide you’re safe (congratulations, by the way), I transform into the sweetest, most loyal little shadow you’ve ever had. I’ll follow you around quietly, sit a little too close, and look at you like you personally invented kindness. I’m not loud about my love, but it’s deep, gentle, and forever. I’m the kind of pup who believes in slow friendships, soft cuddles, and emotional support naps. I may not be the life of the party, but I am the one who will sit with you when you’re tired, sad, or just need someone who understands without words. I run on snacks, patience, and affection, and once you’ve earned my trust, you’ve got it for life. I’m Burger—shy at first, sweet always, and very serious about loving you with my whole tiny heart. Dogs: Please bring all pups in to meet me! Cats: Unknown Kids: Unknown, must meet whole family!
