Story
Scar & Nala are a duo! They are brother and sister so they are stuck like glue! Scar (half face) loves to play with balls/fetch. While Nala would rather chew up a snuffed animal. They love to wrestle, go on walks , and just cuddle with the humans! They are great with kids, No other cats or dogs! They are hyper dogs, lots and lots of energy. They knows some commands. Sit, lay down, stay, shake. They will need some training. I am pregnant with 3 other kids. My husband works nights and is hard for me to give them the attention they need. They will jump the fence. I have them on chains for the yard. Please help me find them the most loving home.

Tuna will be 2 years old November 28th. Getting cancer and other health issues have caused us to need to rehome him. He has a lot of energy as he is still a young dog. The adoption fee is very negotiable as the most important thing is to find him a loving home.

Story
Adopted Jerry from a Unleased KC in 2021. He is a sweet dog. House trained, knows basic commands. He has been an indoor dog without the use of a kennel. He loves cuddling and getting attention. Going outside and playing. He does get along with cats and smaller dogs. It would be preferred that if kids are in the home, they be a little older. He tends to forget that he isn’t a small dog. I want to find him a good home that he will be loved for and taken care off. Due to our busy schedules, it’s not fair to Jerry to have to lack the attention he deserves.

Story
I wanted to reach out to you all today about Maizy, a 7-year-old dog in need of a loving forever home. My wife and I recently had a baby, with another on the way, and Maizy’s resource guarding is too much of a risk. Despite her challenges, she is a loving and affectionate companion.She does have resource guarding behavior, so it would be best if she finds a home without young children or other dogs. However, she gets along well with older kids, adults, and even cats. She is loyal and protective, and with the right person or family, she will be a devoted companion. If you or someone you know has experience with rescue dogs and would be interested in giving Maizy a loving forever home, please reach out to me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx . I have attached recent photos of Maizy so you can see her sweet nature. Thank you for considering whether you or someone you know might be the perfect match for Maizy. Together, we can make a difference in her life and provide her with the loving home she deserves.
