Story
Juliet, a little over a year old, is a mixed-breed dog. She was adopted from KC Pet Project when she was just two months old by a family member of mine. Sadly, they had to give her up, so I took her in. But, because of money and housing issues, I can’t keep her anymore and still give her the wonderful life she needs. I’m hoping someone who knows how to work with shelter dogs will be interested in her. Juliet has a lot of anxiety, so she needs a lot of love and patience to keep training her. She knows how to sit, lay down, come, and is still learning to walk on a leash. She’s very silly and sweet, but a bit shy with new people and animals, so it’s best to start with calm introductions. Once she feels comfortable, she loves to be petted and has lots of spots that make her leg shake. She enjoys lounging around but also loves being outside and can be a great hiker! There’s so much to love and learn about her, and I’m sure she’ll find another family who will love her as much as I do.

Story
Milo is an energetic, loving and fun dog! He loves to be outside running around, playing with a toy and going on walks. Milo also is a big lover, he always wants to be by you and can guarantee cuddles all day. Milo has been a great addition to our home but unfortunately when we had our baby, his behavior changed and he has a few bad habits including escaping our yard and pottying in the house. We think it has to do with lack of attention because he wasn’t doing this before we had our baby home. It has gotten to be too much for us to handle. Milo would thrive somewhere with a big hard and with someone who can give him the attention he deserves. We just want him to go to a loving and caring family.

Story
This is Koa. She’s 7 years old (DOB 1/28/19). We adopted her when she was a puppy and has been with us her whole life. She is a herding dog and tends to nip but has never truly bitten anyone or broken skin. However, we have a 3 year old in the house and are worried for our daughter’s safety. Koa really should not be trusted around kids but has been fine around other dogs and cats. She really is the sweetest dog though just has a bit of anxiety and is very protective. There is a picture of the DNA test we did when we got her. She is spayed and microchipped. House trained, knows commands, and has an awesome recall. She is up to date on her rabies vaccine. We think she would do best on a farm or at least somewhere with land. We are planning on keeping her until we can find the right home. If you’re interested please reach out and we can set up a meeting!

Story
Zero is an 8-year old mixed breed doggo who belonged to my father-in-law, who passed away in December 2025. He has been with us since then while we try to find the perfect forever home for him. We love him very much, but we are just not his ideal family. He is sweet, gentle, potty trained, walks great on a leash, good with other dogs (but we're unsure about cats). He loves going for walks and loves running off-leash at the dog park. He is current on his shots and healthy. He was overweight when he came to us but has lost more than 10 pounds and is now a very healthy weight.He currently stays home alone during the day and does great, but it took him some time to get used to the change in his routine. We work full time and don't like him having to be home alone so much. We are hoping to find a family with more time available to give him the love he deserves.

Story
Meet Miss Waffles! She just celebrated her 1st birthday! She is microchipped and spayed. She is a pit/boxer mix. A gem with children and does great with other female dogs. Unfortunately, the reason we are looking to rehome her is due to a failed relationship between her and our male dog. Seniority rules and we truly want her to find a home where she is not limited due to her fur-siblings. She did kick parvos butt as a young puppy, so asking a rehoming fee to recuperate some of the expenses.

Story
Got this really sweet dog! His name is Fifer. I love him a lot, and he means a lot to me. Unfortunately, when I got him, I went through an intense major trauma. I can't take care of him anymore. I can barely even feed myself, or get out of bed. He's very sweet, just needs a firm voice and hand. (Can chew through leashes, may need a heavy duty one!)
