Story
Mollie is a 1 year old black lab mix. She is a sweetheart and full of energy. Good with cats, great with kids, and understands basic commands. Crate trained and house broken. She needs someone that can give her the attention she deserves and a yard to run in. She has received some training classes and learns quickly. We are expecting our third child and with mine and my husband’s work schedule we cannot give her the proper attention she fully deserves. She loves soft things like blankets and will lay right next to you on the couch.

Story
Kirby is a 5 year old, 30lb corgi dachshund mix. Kirby is a mild mannered sweet little dog. His can be quite nervous when it comes to new people and new environments but given time to adjust he will be a loving and loyal adventure buddy. He is not high energy, he would lay on the couch chewing his bones all day if you let him, but he is always excited for an adventure. He loves to go on walks, hikes and play in the water. Kirby has been around other dogs and does well, he has not been around cats but I believe he would be fine and not be aggressive towards them. Kirby has also been around older children and is nervous at first but as long as they respect his space, he will eventually warm up to them as well. Kirby does not do well with small children such as infants and toddlers. Because babies are loud and unpredictable he resorts to snapping out of fear. For this reason we believe he would do well in a home with no small children.

Story
Krewe is a 2 year-old pitbull/lab mix, his birthday is April 6th, 2022. He is an unneutered male as he stands now and has been completely vaccinated. We are looking for a new home for Krewe due to moving to a new state and being unable to accommodate two dogs. Also, due to an incident between him and another one of our family dogs, I am looking for a family with no other pets in the home. (I am happy to provide more details about this incident as well.) Krewe is a very cuddly pup who loves to get his belly rubbed and play with his stuffed toys. Krewe is completely housebroken as well as crate trained. He recently underwent a four week boarding obedience program where he learned a variety of skills, including no-pull leash walking. Krewe has been nothing but wonderful for our family and I am completely heartbroken to have to rehome him, but for the sake of his quality of life, it is necessary. We believe that of our two dogs, Krewe will adjust best to having a new family.

Story
Mae is a sweet and playful dog, a beautiful blend of energy and affection. Mae has a friendly disposition and loves to cuddle, often seeking out a warm lap or a cozy spot on the couch to settle in for some quality snuggle time.She thrives on playtime, whether it’s chasing after her favorite ball or romping around the yard. Unfortunately, due to the arrival of our little one and our increasingly busy schedule, we’ve found it challenging to give Mae the attention and playtime she deserves. We want her to have a loving home where she can continue to share her joy and receive the affection she craves. Mae is ready for her next adventure and will bring so much love to her new family!
