Story
This is Charlie, he is a very sweet, cuddly and clingy boy. He is an outdoor dog so he has had no house training but knows to come and sit (not stay). I haven't been able to give him the love and attention he needs and will impossible now that I am moving. I cannot trust him with family so he needs to go to a loving home where they can give him the love and affection he needs.

Story
🚨 URGENT — RUMI IS OUT OF TIME 🚨 Sweet 1-Year-Old Florida Cur Mix – 52 lbs – On the Euthanasia List Rumi is a beautiful, loving young girl whose gentle spirit is breaking inside the shelter. She’s only 1 year old, full of life, and simply can’t handle being confined in four walls. The stress is starting to overwhelm her, and it’s heartbreaking to watch such a social, playful, sweet dog deteriorate in this environment. Rumi LOVES other dogs, adores people, and has a wonderful, friendly temperament. She is truly a good girl who should be out running, playing, and living her life — not sitting on a euthanasia list. Just look at that face… she deserves SO much better.

Despite all appearances to the contrary, Tru is a big softy. He wants to be close to his humans and loves to fall asleep on his foster mom’s lap, head against her heart. Tru has not had an easy life until now, and he is loving the experience of gentle love, kindness and encouragement. Tru is a well-behaved boy who is sensitive and empathetic. He is also fun and playful, a lover of walks and a pup who is coming out of his shell more every day. He is a special pup who loves everyone and wants very much to please you. He is an absolute gem!

Snow is a sweet and affectionate girl who is enthusiastic about walks and really enjoys human company. She is mannerly when meeting new people and easily handled, even at the vet office! She is a gentle and patient pup who has a cooperative nature and a heart that loves to snuggle. Snow likes to watch the world go by, enjoys toys and is partial to pup cups. This little love would make an excellent lap dog and would also make sure you get your daily walk in every day too.

Story
Hailey is the best dog in the world. She's sweet, loving, smart, and patient with her owners. Sharing life with her was one of the best experiences in my life. She can play fetch for hours, go on long walks, play with pups and seniors alike, and cuddle up for infinite cuddles all in the same day. She doesnt get aggressive but from her first owner, she will slink out of situations with yelling. Otherwise she loves ball, rug of war, beach days, mountain adventures and more. She plays so much; I blow bubbles for her and she will chase them, and is good at even chasing bubbles with my infant daughter, never knocking her over or growling. I held onto her as long as I could but my housing situation has changed and the only place I could find for me and my daughter didn't allow animals. I've argued it but I cant risk losing housing for us. Hailey is the absolute best companion in the world and deserves a good home. No medical or diet needs. Free to a loving home. Rehoming asap
