Story
Posted 6/30/2025 Please read the entire description before contacting us. Thank you so much! Ace was found as a stray near a vet office. No one claimed him and so one of the veterinarians decided to take him home. Unfortunately Ace is reactive with most members of the family and it was deceided that he would be better off in a household with no children. We don't know what happened to this pup. He is definitely fearful and standoffish with people he does not know. He does bite when you try to trim the hair in his face and snaps when he feels threatened. It is possible that he had a bad experiencey while he was groomed as he freaks out and bites when you try to put a muzzle on. Ace has to be fully sedated at a vet office to be groomed. We believe that with the right human who is patient and willing to work with him for a period of time, Ace's behavior can improve significantly. He most likely will have to always be sedated for grooming though. Ace is about 2 years old, vaccinated, neutered, tested for heartworm and he is on heartworm/flea prevention. He is sweet but fearful and needs to be approached carefully. He takes a while to warm up. He is house broken and very good in the car. He also walks well on a leasd. For Ace we are looking for people who understand his behavior and who are willing to work with him on losing his fear and become a happy dog. For Ace we are looking for need a calm and quiet home with a securely fenced in yard, no children at all. Ace generally gets along with other dogs if they are little. It would be best though if he could be an only pet. If you are up to the challenge and interested in adopting Ace please fill out an adoption application on our web site. Email us if you have any questions or if you don't hear from us within 48 hours of sending an adoption application.

Story
Lucky is a little guy who has had a tough time navigating the world, and because of that, he can be fearful and unsure in new situations. His temperament can be unpredictable, and honestly, some days he’s a happy little dude and other days he’s a tiny ball of grumpy emotions — think poor little man with PMS and mood swings. Because of this, Lucky needs a very specific home where he can feel safe, respected, and understood. To help him succeed, Lucky must be the only pet in an adult-only home. That means no kids, no cats, and no other dogs. When he feels overwhelmed or scared, he may nip, so his future family should be experienced, patient, and willing to work with him at his pace. Now, let’s be real — Lucky can be a jerk sometimes. But underneath that tough exterior is a dog who truly does have potential. In the right calm, predictable environment, with people who understand his boundaries, Lucky can blossom into a loyal little companion. If you’re someone who appreciates quirky personalities, believes in second chances, and has a soft spot for misunderstood underdogs, Lucky might just be your perfect match. His ideal home is one filled with patience, consistency, and plenty of love — and in return, you’ll earn the trust of a dog who truly needs it.
