Story
Delilah has an incredible story of strength and perseverance after being found abandoned and starved, and she has not allowed that to make her scared or aggressive. She is soft and loving and sooooo wants to please her person. She knows sit and stay, loves her xpen with soft blankets and a plush dog bed, and throughly enjoys toys and treats! She is cautious with dogs and will require careful introduction and work on socialization. She met one cat that approached her kennel and she wasn’t a fan - she barked at him until he walked away. Again, with careful introduction and socialization, she will likely learn to adapt. She will need a fenced space to run and play. She is fixed and UTD on vaccines, as well as on HW prevention and flea and tick treatment. She is heartworm positive and is going through treatment currently. Gigi’s will manage the remainder of her care with the right family … allowing her to go to her new home while she finishes treatment! That treatment consists of daily meds and then 3 injections - one in January and two in February. After that, she’ll be med free and feeling great! She is very full of life and active!

Story
Juke has just turned 2yrs old, he is lovely and a well loved member of our family. However, we are relocating overseas in 2026 and where we are going, he is a banned breed (otherwise we would take him). I need to find him a loving home that excels in dog cuddles, lots of love, that can provide him with an indoor home, exercise and plenty of company. He is a great friend to my other dog (a corgi) and even takes naps with our family cat. He is loving, protective to our house and loyal to my kids who he sleeps with most nights. My son (13yrs) has trained him to sit, stay, lease trained and well walked. He will even stay while I walk to the other end of the soccer field and wait for my command to run his hardest (in glee!) towards me! No aggression shown but he does love a good big dog roughhouse play if it is on offer. He loves the dog park, but honestly only issues I have had there are other people being scared of him due to his breed, not his actions. Looking for a pitt loving family.

Story
Juno is a very sweet and loving dog who bonds deeply with his people. He enjoys cuddling, following you around the house, and being part of your daily routine. He has so much potential to thrive - he just needs the right environment and a person who understands anxious dogs. Juno developed significant anxiety after two traumatic attacks (one at a dog park as a puppy and another incident when he briefly ran away). Since then, his anxiety has been difficult for us to manage despite consistent training and medical support. He has been evaluated by a veterinarian, is currently on Prozac, and has attended multiple behavioral training sessions. We have put in a lot of work and love, but his anxiety has continued to escalate, and we feel he needs a calmer, more structured environment than we can provide. Due to this, Juno has begun urinating in the house and has destroyed several household items during panic episodes. These behaviors are not constant, but have become frequent.

Story
We got Tiny a few years ago and she was in poor condition. She was malnourished and had an infection in her tail. She was kept outside in a enclosed patio surrounded by her own poop. Once we took her home we tried to save her tail but was not successful and it had to be amputated. She is now within her proper weight and looks great. She is now house trained as well. A little bit about her; she is a loving dog and loves to play but she can play a bit rough for smaller kids so she will have to be monitored. She is a toy destroyer so she would need some strong sturdy toys to chew and play with. She does chew on bones.She had a bed the 1st two weeks we had her then she tore it up along with the second bed we got her but she snuggled in a blanket. She is leashed trained and knows a few tricks. We came to a conclusion that she need a family that can spend more time her as we don't have that time with our days to give her.

Story
SOS.., My wife (Kate) and I are the owners of a 5-year-old 60-lb pit-mix named Maddie that was abandoned near our house in Nashville, TN (USA) 4-years ago at a time when we had 4-senior dogs. She was not supposed to remain with us, but we could not find her another home as she is a challenging dog with some behavioral issues. We avoided taking her to a shelter as we were pretty sure she'd be euthanized soon after intake. We put a lot of effort into training her which has helped. She can listen well, but her main issue is that she is super impulsive and aggressive with other dogs. She is dog-reactive on leash and behind barriers like a fence or a window. She can also be bite-reactive if someone or another dog go face-to-face with her while she is resting which is our biggest concern since we now have a 15-month-old wild-child toddler int he house. Maddie, however, is super loyal, super active, and an amazing cuddler. She deserves a calmer home and a firm and active leader.
