Story
🚨 MILO NEEDS A HERO — HE’S RUNNING OUT OF TIME 🚨 Milo hasn’t had a fair start… and now he’s paying the price. This ~4-year-old Basenji mix (about 50 lbs) was removed from his owner after being left without proper shelter or water. Since then, the world has felt scary, loud, and unpredictable. Milo is timid and unsure, trying to figure out who he can trust. But he’s not shut down—he’s just waiting for someone to show him he’s safe. And when you do… he leans in. He accepts gentle pets. He tries. That’s the part of Milo no one sees in a kennel. With other dogs, Milo can come on a little strong at first—he may posture or try to assert himself—so he’ll need slow, structured introductions and guidance. With the right person, this is absolutely manageable. 💔 The reality is… dogs like Milo don’t get much time. Not because they’re bad— but because they need someone willing to understand them. ✨ What Milo needs: • Patient, experienced adopter or foster • Calm, structured environment • Proper introductions with other dogs (or happy as your only) • Someone willing to go slow and build trust ✨ What Milo will give: • A deep, loyal bond • Quiet companionship • The kind of transformation that changes both your lives He’s not aggressive. He’s not a lost cause. He’s just never been given a reason to feel safe. 👉 Please be the one who changes Milo’s story. PLEASE HELP THIS BOY NOT MUCH TIME BEFORE HES KILLED ‼️ PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story
Meet Apollo - a 6yo fluffy sweetheart with a playful soul and an insatiable love for toys and treats! Apollo’s favorite activity is playing fetch, and he’s always down for an outdoor adventure, but when it’s time to relax, he’s happy just to hang around. He’s a social butterfly who absolutely LOVES being around people, and once he gets to know you, he’ll be your best friend, following you wherever you go. He’s clever, quick to learn, and affectionate, making him a joy to train and be around. Apollo’s ideal home would be with an experienced owner and older children, given his size and energy level. He also thrives best as the only male dog in the household and prefers a cat-free environment. Despite these preferences, Apollo is an ideal, low-maintenance companion. For some time now, it's just been the two of us, but I've come to learn that Apollo would thrive so much better with a larger family that can provide him with the more engaging life and attention he deserves.
