Story
Does your dog need a buddy? Do you want a guardian to protect you from all delivery people? Well, Nehi is your gal! She wants to be with her people and dogs, but is content to curl up in the room with everyone rather than being RIGHT next to you. She's just the easiest housemate ever. Nehi is crate trained, but her foster stopped crating her as she's very trustworthy and responsible. Her "outdoorsy" spirit shines through in her love for walks! She has been treated for heartworms and her foster family was THRILLED to see her feeling so well, she broke out in her first round of ZOOMIES recently with her doggy pals!! This sweet girl possesses a calm and gentle nature, though a touch of shyness reminds us of her former life where she was chained up in a yard around the clock. Nehi is a truly exceptional dog. Beneath her initial shyness lies a heart brimming with love, just waiting for the comfort and security of her forever home to fully blossom. Could you be the one to offer this deserving girl the happy ending she so deserves?

Story
We got her when she was 9 weeks old in the Walmart parking lot. She turns 3 March 31 2026, she has issues with our other dogs and she recourse guards me and my husbands bedroom from both dogs and people. She has never bit anyone and the fights with the dogs have never resulted in an injured dog. She limps on her back left leg sometimes, we aren't sure why and just cant afford to find out right now. My husband is joining the military and we aren't sure where we will be and are worried we wont be able to take her because she's a pit bull. I'm also pregnant and we are worried she will have a problem with the baby being in the bedroom. We are hoping to find someone who can train her or can pay for her to be trained and can afford better vet care for her. She's an extremely sweet dog and I truly believe if she was properly trained and cared for she wouldn't have any problems at all. She loves to play with ropes and squeaky toys. She constantly wants to lick you and she loves cuddles.

Story
Rocky is a sweet, loyal companion looking for a calm, adult home where he can truly thrive. Rocky loves being close to his person and is happiest as a lap dog, soaking up attention and affection. He is gentle, independent, and enjoys a relaxed lifestyle. He would do best in a quieter home without young children, where he can feel secure and settled. Rocky is afraid of thunder and does best with a fenced yard, as he can be territorial until he feels comfortable. He has done well with other dogs when introduced properly and given time to adjust. This decision was made with Rocky’s best interest at heart. With the arrival of twins, our home has become too busy for what Rocky needs to feel happy and at ease. We are not asking for an adoption fee — our only goal is to find him a loving, stable home where he can be someone’s devoted companion. If you are an adult looking for a loving, loyal dog who enjoys companionship and a calmer environment, Rocky may be a wonderful fit.

Story
Meet Catcher— Your Future Adventure Buddy & Snuggle Queen with a Cute Tiny Underbite! Catcher is a young, vibrant, fun-loving girl who’s equal parts athlete and cuddle bug. She’s the kind of dog who will sprint at top speed after a squirrel... then melt into you for belly rubs five minutes later. What Catcher likes: Exercise and affection! She thrives with 1–2 hours of daily activity. Runs, brisk walks, soccer games, frisbee sessions, swimming in lakes, or just zooming (her zommies are legendary!) around the yard — she’s all in. Her "Good Morning" consists of melting into her human and asking for hugs and belly rubs, and she loves to get them throughout the day. Mental challenges. She’s very smart and loves puzzle toys and scent games (especially hunting for hidden treats!). Cardboard “projects.” Tearing up boxes is her part-time job, and she takes it seriously. People + dogs. Extroverted and social, Catcher greets everyone with a wagging tail and leans in for affection. She plays great with dogs of her own size or larger. Outings. She’s a polite companion at breweries, cafés, and restaurants. What She’s Good At: ✔ Happily relaxes and sleeps in a crate ✔ Potty trained (never any accidents) and crate trained ✔ Walks nicely with a no-pull harness ✔ Super affectionate ✔ Smart and eager to engage ✔ Knows “sit” and “stop” ✔ Can entertain herself with a toy, a wooden stick, or a cozy bed - making her an amazing work-from-home companion ✔ Catching a ball, frisbee, water waves, flies, flying leaves - and she is a great "catch" herself! What She’ll Need: A family that has an active and consistent lifestyle, a fenced yard is a huge plus, and has time for exercise and play, and understands the needs of a young, energetic dog with a high prey drive and high chewing drive. She’s not extremely treat-motivated, but she shines with squeaky toys, enthusiastic praise, and physical affection. If you are looking for a low-maintenance, low-energy dog or plan to crate her for long hours a day, she is not the gal, but if you’re hoping for a dog who will join you on every adventure, hiking, swimming, running and greet you like her favorite person in the world every day and watch a movie while hugging each other, Catcher is your girl.
