Story
Lucy is short for Lucinda, and she is a great dog who loves cuddles and sleeping in the bed with you. Lucy lost her dad in 2022 and has been living with ever since. Due to financial reasons and my schedule, I can no longer take care of her. She does suffer from separation anxiety and does not like being in a crate and is scared of thunderstorms. Lucy is an inside dog and has no problem sleeping all day and lounging around being lazy. She also enjoys going outside and playing with kids and other dogs of her choice. She does not get along with all dogs but if you warm her up to other dog's she eventually becomes friendly and will play with them all day. Lucy is really well trained for recall and can sit and give kisses for treats. She is potty trained and will only pee and poop (potty) outside. Lucy was rescued as a puppy and she is 9 years old. I would like someone who would love her and give her the home she deserves that unfortunately I cannot give her no more. Shes truly a blessing.

Story
Meet Shay! The most adorable, happy "squishball" as her foster mom calls her! Shay is the full package. She is crate-trained, potty-trained, and has excellent indoor manners. Her favorite hobbies are playing ball, going for walks, and just running around her yard with her foster family. Shay absolutely loves people and has never met a stranger! She is the perfect balance of happy energy and a couch potato. Her foster mom says that Shay is very respectful in her interactions with people and is always excited to say hello, but will immediately sit at your feet if affection is offered. She is quickly learning how to sit, wait, and come, and she has learned how to walk nicely on a leash and is always up for an outdoor adventure. Shay is always happy with getting her foster mom's attention and just wants to find a forever family where she can be everyone's best friend. As if she wasn't special enough, she also has one blue eye and one brown eye! She has lots of love to give and can't wait to meet you!

Story
Whoever is lucky enough to adopt Piper will be getting a real gem! She is so easy to fall in love with. Piper is approximately 1.5 years old and is one of the most loving dogs that we have ever met. Inside she is quite calm and cuddly but outside she loves to run so a fenced yard is required. She leaps just like a deer and is so fun to watch. She loves to chase the ball and jumps on top of it. Because she is still young, she still needs some time to realize her size and strength so must be supervised around small children and animals. But inside when she is calm, she seems to do very well with children. She is potty trained too. Piper aims to please and listens well! She has also learned many commands like sit and shake. It is best not to use a crate with Piper because in her former life, it was reported that she was stuck in the crate for extended periods of time, and she gets rather panicky now if made to go in a crate. She seems to be past the puppy chewing stage and has a very soft mouth when taking treats/food. Piper would love, love, love to find a home with a doggie friend or two as she thrives when playing with her foster fur-siblings! She is also great with cats and would love to find a kitty friend to play with and give kisses to! Fill out an application to adopt and you can meet Piper. We promise you will fall in love quickly!

Story
Sweet Willow had a rough start in life and is still healing but ready to find her forever home and have her happily ever after! She came to us afraid of human touch and has since blossomed in her foster home and loves being around her foster family. She bonded quickly with her best fur buddy, Hallie and now they are inseparable! They love hanging out, running in the yard and taking naps together. Willow is crate and potty-trained and is just the best little girl! She can't wait to meet her forever family and make new, wonderful memories alongside Hallie with them!

Hi! My dogs name is Piper. She was adopted from a shelter. At the time, I was home with her more. Now, I am working more and she needs an owner that can spend more time with her. She needs to be able to run and play outside. I live in a small apartment, and she just doesn’t have the space. I would like for her to go to a loving, caring home. She is 7 months old and a very beautiful dog. She gets along well with humans and other animals. Thank You

Story
Niko was found on the side of the highway 3 1/2 years ago and was estimated to be no older than a year. He is roughly 4 years old with lots of energy. He is truly a woman’s bestfriend! As this decision is heart breaking and definitely the hardest thing I’ve had to do, I must re home him. Niko needs an engaging home who loves cuddles, playtime, and to be outdoors. He needs someone willing to put in the work (training). Niko is an over reactive dog who gets supper excited around dogs and children. He needs a home with NO children under the age of 12. He is dog friendly but due to his hyper reaction he needs slow first interactions. Niko is super sweet and loves to be where you are, under the covers and all! I am 100% against a shelter and will take him back if he is no longer wanted!!

Story
Monti was pulled on his last day in a rural shelter. He is still learning what having a human and a house is like and is so loving and goofy. He does great with cats and female dogs. He does not like male dogs as much but has not shown aggression. He's learning that he loves walks and going out to the brewery. He loves his balls and being outside. He has not been around children but is a bit timid so he will need a low to moderate activity household. Needs a fenced in yard.
