Story
Unfortunately it’s come time for me to rehome my best friend. I work as a firefighter and my schedule along with family life has resulted in a difficult time in taking care of Hunter. I want the best home possible for my big guy. Someone who can give him love and affection, trust me he will return the favor. This is incredibly difficult and I know the only why I could make this happen is with the best family possible. Thank you

Story
How this pet arrived: Slim Shady was brought in by his previous owner on May 28, 2024.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Slim Shady, a sweet guy with plenty of love to give. Active and adventurous, he's the perfect outdoor adventure buddy! Slim is one smart cookie, having mastered "sit" and "shake". He also loves to play a game of fetch (yes, he brings the ball back) and walks like a dream on leash! Slim Shady will need to be the only dog in the home as he is selective with other dogs, so no dog parks or beaches for him. He would do best with a family that can spend most of their time with him, as he isn't the biggest fan of being left home alone. Think Slim might be the one for you? Bring a leash, collar, and take Slim Shady home today! Dog Reactive Dog:  This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

Story
How this pet arrived: Scylla was brought in by her previous owner on June 21, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Scylla, a beautiful girl ready for her new family. Scylla can be shy at first and takes some time to warm up to new people, so she would thrive in a calm and stable home without a lot of foot traffic. She needs a household with children over the age of 6 and would do best in an environment where her exposure to unknown dogs is limited, as she can sometimes be reactive. Once she opens up, Scylla is incredibly sweet and loves being pet. She's smart as can be and knows "sit", "down", and "paw" and her previous owner said that she is potty trained and used a crate when she was younger! If you have a quiet home and the patience to let her come out of her shell, Scylla will reward you with endless loyalty. Come meet Scylla and don't forget to bring a leash and collar!Dog Reactive Dog:  This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them.

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by their previous owner on July 17, 2024 Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Smokie, a 6-year-old shepherd mix who needs a patient family to help him gain trust. Due to his shyness, Smokie would do best in a small, quiet household with children aged 12 and older. He has a limited history with dogs, but it has been pro-social. If there is a resident dog, a dog introduction is highly recommended to set everyone up for success. Bring a leash and collar and take Smokie home today!

Story
How this pet arrived: Fanta was brought in by a community member on July 11, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Fanta, a sweet and gentle girl who's looking for a patient home to call her own. Shy and cautious at first, Fanta needs a slow introduction and some time to build trust. With a bit of patience and understanding, she will blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion. Fanta would thrive in a calm environment without too much hustle and bustle, where she can feel secure. Fanta will also do better with older children who can respect her boundaries. She can be a little bit picky with other dogs, so make sure to bring any current canines in the home to meet Fanta so that we can ensure a good fit! If you're ready to offer her the time and care she deserves, make sure to bring the entire household to meet Fanta and speak with our trainers so that she can be set for success!
