Story
Delight has big brown eyes that will melt your heart and a delightful personality to go with them. She is a happy and sweet girl that likes to be with her people and cuddle next to them on the couch. She joyfully plays with toys, enjoys chew toys, and tummy rubs!  She is on medicine due to damaged caused by heartworms. However, she still enjoys a typical walk around the neighborhood. She has a tendency to dash at cars while on walks so her forever person would need to be able to handle that.  She would be the perfect dog for a person or couple looking for a lower-key companion to curl up this winter. We are looking for her to be the only dog in the home. Her adoption fee has been sponsored which means the adopter pays no fee. However, a adoption application still needs to be submitted and approved. Who can open their home to this sweet girl?July 6, 2024, 9:39 am

Story
Mila is an 11 year old female terrier mix that is looking for a forever home.  She is housetrained, likes to snuggle, nap, and play in small bursts. She loves being outside and can jump high so a she has a 6 ft fence requirement to ensure she stays contained and can enjoy the great outdoors. She prefers to get all the attention so is looking for an only dog home. She tends to use her voice so apartment or shared wall living is not recommended.  Submit an app if you are interested in Mila: MLA Adoption Application (formsite.com)July 6, 2024, 9:39 am

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We have a 4 year old labradoodle needing to rehome, Ringo. We’ve had behavior issues with him and have a baby on the way in about 4 weeks. Unfortunately, we don’t want to take any chances with a baby being brought into play. He is a great dog, very intelligent and aware. He can be grumpy in the mornings, snappy, & on edge. He loves playing fetch, tug-a-war, and ear/butt scratches. He loves walking through your legs in the morning for his butt scratches. The best way to explain him is similar to a cat. Ringo wants to be messed with, when he does. He’ll come to you when he wants pets and such. We’ve had him since he was a puppy. We currently have him and a dalmadoodle as well. They typically play great together and get along, however I feel our dalmadoodle antagonizes him and Ringo likes to be left alone often. However, he loves attention in other ways and loves people/visitors. Ringo is very healthy and up-to-date on all vaccines/etc. Ideally no children, single dog home.

Kissy is about 8 years, does take thyroid meds, and is a bit fearful of going out at night or in the rain though making progress with a human who can lead her.   Who knows what she went through before rescue!  She is so very sweet, walks well on a leash, has done well with all the dogs she has met and has a gentle personality.  If you are looking for a sweet gal, submit an application and meet Kissy!July 6, 2024, 9:39 am

Story
She is about a year old and high energy....plays and plays, takes a power nap and plays some more. Betsy is scared of loud noises, so this holiday is going to be a tough one as the fireworks are already beginning. She was recently spayed and is doing really well on becoming housebroken.July 6, 2024, 9:39 am
