Story
Hello there! My name is IO, and I’m on a mission to find my forever home. I’m a lovable, loyal companion dog who thrives on companionship and will always be by your side. What Makes Me Special: People Lover: I think everyone is my new best friend. Basic Commands: I know sit and lay down and am working on stay. Potty Trained: I know “peepee and potty” on command, handy for long car rides. Alert and Observant: I gently bark to alert you to anything unusual. Polite: I don’t jump on furniture or beg for food, and I sleep in my own bed. Playful Yet Gentle: I love squeaky toys but prefer soft plush ones. A Few Quirks: Nervous with Loud Noises: I need a strong leash and awareness of my surroundings during walks. Crate Anxiety: I’m fine in a crate for car rides but anxious when alone at home. Routine Lover: I thrive on a set routine with regular walks and activities. I need a family who will love me and keep me close. If you think you have the perfect home, I'm waiting to meet you! Love, IO

Story
Charlie Brown,a one year old Dobermann/Pitt mix (our guess), was found at 6 months old tied to street sign. Been living with us the last 6 months. Nothing wrong with him! We already have two dogs and a third one is too much of responsibility for this stage of life. He needs a home where he can get more attention. He loves to be outside. We have him on a wireless fence and does great with no escapes. He will need some leash training but won take long for him to pick it up. He is very smart and stubborn. He needs exercise. He loves his chew bones and blanket. He is crate trained and prefers to sleep in the crate at night. He is house trained, and does great job letting you know. We have trained him to jingle bells at the door if he wants to go out! The only con I could list is he is very talkative! He lets you know what he is thinking. We joke his name should be Chewbacca! We did have him neutered at approximately 7 mos and all shots up to date.

Story
This is Priscilla. She is 2.5 years old, will be 3 on September 28th. We rescued her in November 2021 after she was found along side the road. She is (what I assume after much research) a Rhodesian Ridgeback mixed with something else. She is not UTD on shots, but does take a monthly flea pill. She did have her first couple rounds of puppy shots and got her rabies shot when she got fixed. She is good with other dogs, loves cats and children. She still has tons of energy! She is good with being outside or inside. She enjoys car rides. Priscilla is leash trained. We have to rehome her because our new home doesn't allow pets. She will come with her leash, cage, any food leftover, bowls, and any flea pills left over.

Story
After 4 years we’ve decided it’s best to rehome our Jack Russel mix Jade to no fault of her own. She is a fantastic dog and we hope to find her a home that loves her for the beautiful soul that she is. She is house trained, crate trained, good with kids and other dogs. She has never been around cats but would probably do okay. She is a snuggler and loves to cuddle and lay in your lap. She does well on a leash, harness or collar. She did well as an apartment dog but is high energy so would do best with regular walks. She is microchipped, fixed and up to date on all shots. She knows sit, lay, stay, drop it and loves fetch. She loves being the center of attention and unfortunately we just can’t give her the time and attention she needs and deserves at this time.
