Story
Coco is a little over a year old. She is full of energy. Loves to run, and play. She needs someone who will keep her exercised and busy. She loves pets and snuggles. She is very playful with cats and small children so an introduction period may be necessary. She is fixed, house broken and crate trained but we have not had any professional training. We can provide vet records. I would request a vet reference for any potential adopters.

Story
Passion is a very playful and loving 9 year old American Pitbull Terrier. She will be 10 on 11/24/2024. I adopted her originally when she was 9 months at the Black Hills Humane Society in Rapid City, SD. She has been with me ever since and moved back home to Delaware with me. She loves car rides, belly rubs and sun bathing. She has been able to maintain her puppy like playfulness and energy. We love her dearly, however we are now a household of 7 and two of us are very allergic. She now spends a lot of time couped up in her room or in the backyard lounging around. I would like for her to go to happy home that can love on her like she is used to and the space to run as much as her heart desires. Her only special need is a routine to maintain her skin allergies. Either natural or medicinal. A little bit of care helps her a lot.

Story
Looking for adoptive parents for King. My schedule changed and I work long hours. He is caged most of the mornings and evenings. When I come home he comes right out of the cage. He is also crate trained. He will be two on December 20th. He loves attention, loves to eat, loves to cuddle, loves hugs, and kisses. He loves the waterhole in the summertime and long walks, and playing with other dogs. Favorite toys stuffed animals and blankets. He is very obedient and very playful around adults and children, and other pets. Well behaved to anyone that he comes across. Looking for a family that would give him all of above love, freedom, and care for the rest of his dog life. Thank you!

Story
I found her. She was friendly with me. I’ve had her about 3 weeks now. Few things I wasn’t ready for was her excitement. She likes to jump on me when I come home. I understand she is getting used to a new setting but her barking is becoming to much when she hears my upstairs neighbor coming or going. That’s what has made it I have to rehome her. She’s good with walking and will stay next to me but she growls at every one and has barked at every neighbor. That’s how I got told on. I take her out back to run in the yard. She enjoys that. I’m looking for someone who has more time for her than I do. Someone who can walk her daily to burn off energy, someone who can handle or train her not to jump when you walk in. She needs attention and love. She does need a prong collar to walk. She’s great on car rides.

Story
Timber needs a new home. He has always had skin allergies over the years but they have got worse as he gets older. I am unable to afford testing to determine specific allergies and vet costs are also too costly. I have a small child at home with a heart condition and I don't want the excessive dander to interfere with his health. He is due for another surgery soon which is why the need for rehoming is urgent. Very friendly dog. Gets along well with people of all ages from infant to adult. Gets along with cats and most dogs. Is crate trained but very anxious in cage so not currently caged. He is a rescue dog. I've tried to surrender him back to them hut he's been on a waiting list for a long time.
