Story
Big body, easygoing personality, and a heart full of fun! This handsome 2-year-old boy loves people, playgroups, and chasing toys. On walks, he’s happy to stop and sniff everything, but he listens well when it’s time to keep moving. He keeps his kennel clean, stays nice and quiet, and is an all-around sweet, laid-back guy who would love to be your new best friend!

Story
Meet Holly, a sweet purebred yellow Lab looking for her forever home. We brought Holly home as a puppy in 2021, and she's been a joyful part of our family ever since. She's friendly, affectionate, and never meets a stranger. She simply loves people. She's fully house trained and ready to settle right into a new home. This is one of the hardest decisions we've ever made. With a new baby on the way, a growing family business, and a small rental with no fenced yard, we've realized we can't give her the space, time, and attention she truly deserves. She needs a yard to run in and a family with time to play, walk, and love on her every day. We're hoping to find a caring home that will treasure her the way we have. If you have room in your heart and your yard for a loyal, loving Lab, we'd love to give her the life she deserves.

Story
My name is Prince Dobby. I am a very energetic boy. I love chewing on my bone and playing with my toys. I really like to cuddle but my most favorite thing to do is run. I can run like the wind! I am 7 months old and I came from family. I am looking for a loving and understanding home. Because I am such a hyper active little one and I am really very strong lots of strength and patience.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Virginia (virginiak@tarasdream.org) for more information about this pet. Please visit our web site at https://tarasdream.org/adopt to fill out an adoption application for this pet and for more info about our adoption process.  Who doesn't love a nice chunk of chocolate? I'm telling you Darius is just that! A sweet little treat in a fancy package! This handsome man is the sweetest combination of snuggle bug and playful pup! Darius may not have had the best upbringing. He was saved from a hoarding situation, where he just didn't get much socialization with people. As a result, he is unsure right at first, and may sniff you, move away and circle back while he figures it out. But, if you just give him a little bit to process the new humans, he will literally melt into you! He loves scritches, and to be with you wherever you are. He loves to play with toys, and is a big fan of other dogs! He has figured out housetraining, and though not a huge fan of being crated, he is fine once he goes in. He loves treats and is learning a few manners. He sleeps all night in his dog bed. His only fault- he has no idea how big and strong he is. His tail is in constant motion and can hurt when he's super excited- and if he's missed you big time- he really wants to greet you by jumping up. (We are working on that particular thing because he comes in hard with those hugs and if you aren't ready for them...Woof) He's getting there! So- if you are looking for a little chocolate to sweeten up your life- there is no need to look any further than this hunk! He's a lover and guaranteed to melt your heart! Approximate Birthdate:  April 2023 Adoption Fee: $200 TARA's adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, heartworm test (if age appropriate), heartworm and flea prevention, and deworming.  TARA's pets are all eligible for a TWO WEEK TRIAL. Due to the fact that many of our dogs come from the local city shelters, we do not know the background of many of them and therefore cannot always guarantee age or breed.     For more information please fill out an application.     CONTACT INFO The Animal Rescue Alliance (TARA) Web site: tarasdream.org Adoption Information & Applications: https://tarasdream.org/adopt Upcoming Adoption Events: https://tarasdream.org/events Email: email@tarasdream.org March 7, 2026, 9:46 pm

Story
Irena has been with me since she was 3 months old, and is about 4 years old. She spent most of her first two years with goats and chickens, strictly outdoors, but has spent the past year and a half inside and out in a residential neighborhood. I recently got remarried, and she unfortunately cannot go with me because of my husband's allergies. She has been a wonderful companion to me, is fiercely loyal and protective of her people, including my children. I have not had alot of time or energy to train her, but she is so smart and sweet, I cannot imagine it would be difficult to work with her. I would like to find a place where she has room to roam, a job to do, and people to love and protect. She will be very missed, and I will patiently wait for the right new owner.
