Story
I have had Cesar since he was a puppy and he will be 3 years old on March 3, 2026. I recently moved in with my adult son and his family, but the new house and routine does not support his needs anymore. Before I moved, I had a roommate who worked from home so 99% of the time there was at least 1 person home to be with him - which helped when I was out at work myself. Now, there is no one home most of the day and its such a change for him and he’s not nearly as happy as he was. Although it breaks my heart to find a new home for him, I know that being in a home where there is someone home most of the day is going to be so much better for him and he’ll be so much happier. He’s great with dogs (big and small), cats, and kids! His shots need to be updated & he needs to be neutered, I just have a hard time financially trying to get that done at the moment. I truly just want what’s best for him - to be in a home where he doesn’t feel lonely all the time.

Story
DOB 5-12-2019 Elias is a retired puppy mill worker, he was stuck in a cage for 5 years of his life from the time he was born. When he came he was so thin, his teeth were totally rotten and he couldn't eat. Well that was his old life, not his new life! Elias has been neutered, all teeth had to be removed, he was heartworm negative and is now on ProHeart6, up to date on all shots and has become a little on the porky side! Elias would love to have his own home now, something he never had hopes of is a reality for him now. Elias is crate trained, gets along with other little dogs, would love to be loved by someone who knew how special he is. Elias's adoption fee is 500.00, this transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, the only one we use for our kids! The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here.
