Story
Duma is an affectionate, friendly 11-year-old neutered Ridgeback/Hound mix (65 lbs.) looking for an adult-only home. He loves people, enjoys walks, is house-trained, walks well on leash, and knows many commands. He’s healthy aside from arthritis, which is managed with gabapentin and supplements, and is current on all vaccinations. Duma would do best as the only pet in a home without children. Over the past year, he bit our young child twice after being unexpectedly approached from behind—once while lying down and once when hugged around his hindquarters while standing. Because of these incidents, we can no longer safely keep him in our home. Despite this, Duma is a loving, loyal companion who thrives on attention and enjoys being with his people. We know the right adult home will give him the chance to enjoy his senior years surrounded by love, comfort, and plenty of walks.

Story
Coffee is a 5-year-old, spayed female Pit/Ridgeback mix who is ready to find her forever family. Due to unexpected personal circumstances, I’m no longer able to care for her long-term. Coffee is crate-trained and house-trained. She has a solid obedience foundation and knows recall, place, heel, center, sit, down, and out. She walks beautifully on a loose leash, even in busy city environments, and is comfortable navigating crowded streets. She has no known health issues, is up to date on shots, and is on preventive medications for heartworm, fleas, and ticks. Coffee does well being home alone during the workweek (about 8 hours a day). She enjoys playing tug, going for walks, and loves car rides. She is sweet and affectionate, and she loves being around people.

Story
I’m an 8-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback/Boxer mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for my people. My life was turned upside down when my old family left me at a high-intake shelter, but my foster mom helped me heal, feel safe again, and remember what it’s like to be loved. Now I’m ready to find a forever family who won’t ever give up on me. I’m a polite girl with great house manners — I only chew on my toys (never shoes!), and I absolutely love squeaky toys and cozy donut beds. I’m also a champion sleeper and perfectly happy to snooze in with you on quiet mornings. Walks are one of my favorite things! Long, sniffy walks make me so happy, and I’m a wonderful adventure buddy. Sometimes I get a little reactive when I see other dogs on leash, but I’m learning every day. With some patience and positive training, I might even enjoy living with another dog after slow introductions. I adore people and I can’t wait to become someone’s loyal best friend. I’m healthy, spayed, and so excited to start my next chapter. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, toy-collecting snugglebug who’s ready to be your whole world… I think we should meet. Love, Hunie.
