Story
Mack is in need of a new family.  His family of five years has moved to France.  They attempted to re-home him prior to leaving, to no avail.  Mack is currently with a family member, who already has five large dogs.  MACK NEEDS HIS OWN FAMILY! Mack is seven years old but looks and acts like a puppy.  He gets along with other dogs, cats, and horses.  He loves morning and afternoon walks..  He does not like meeting new dogs while on a leash (leash aggressive).  A country home with a little land to call his own would be great for this guy!  He prefers to be wherever his person is.  Mack is a companion animal.  You'll never go to the bathroom alone again, ever.  : )  Mack is excellent with young children. To find out more about Mack, please contact his foster mom at 304-832-4112 and say you're calling about Mack!  December 10, 2025, 10:27 pm

Story
Scrappy needs a home NOW.  His caregiver passed away in July.  Since then, he has been living on the front porch of the only home he knows, and being fed by neighbors.  Recently displaced by new tenants, Scrappy was removed from the porch and tied to a tree.  He’s endured many nights of cold weather.  A concerned neighbor contacted the ACO.  Temporary arrangements have been made to keep him warm.  Scrappy is neutered and up to date on shots, and weighs in at just 38 pounds.  He’s very much a gentleman.  He accepts new dogs in his space and doesn’t seem intrigued by cats.  Age is best-guessed to be eight years old.  This gentleman needs his own home and hearth.  PAdopt, foster to adopt, transport partners...all will be considered!December 10, 2025, 3:48 pm
