Story
Hi! My name is Willow! I may look like salt and pepper, but i'm a total sugar rush! I'm looking for a home with someone who is an expert snuggler, and a play buddy in a hooman, tiny hooman, dog, cat, or all four! I love everyone I've met so far, although I'm a little shy at first. If you are someone who likes to shower your pup with Treats and Toys, I want in! Toys are so much fun that I'm happy playing by myself, but I share super well with everypawdy. I'd really like a dog brother or sister to play with and show me the ropes (literally!) I'm a smart and observant and I'm doing a pawsome job learning sign language. I even have a special sign for my own name! They say I'm a really user friendly pup, but don't just take my bark for it, let's meet pup...err....up!

Story
This is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make, but I need to find a caring home for Koji. He is 11 years old, and is lovable, snuggly, friendly, and eager. He has always been a happy, cheerful companion, though he has become a little anxious with age. He’s great with dogs, cats, and kids and is fully vaccinated and house-trained. Koji takes one daily dose of Reconcile for anxiety and is very cooperative. He has plenty of energy for walks and outdoor time. He loves cuddling, following his person around, & being near people. Koji needs a calm, loving home with someone who works from home or has a flexible schedule. I work 12-14 hours a day, and while I take him to a dog sitter five days a week, he deserves more time and attention. He is such a loyal, affectionate dog and just wants love. He would do very well with another dog for companionship. If you or someone you know can provide Koji with a stable, loving home, please reach out. Please share to help him find his perfect home.

Story
Looking to Rehome Our Dog: Needs a Special Home We are looking to rehome our sweet dog, Bailey, who has been a loving member of our family. Unfortunately, she has shown aggression towards other dogs, and we believe she would be most comfortable in a home where she can be the only pet. She is a loyal and affectionate companion to her family but needs a calm, controlled environment where she can thrive without the stress of other animals or chaotic surroundings. She’s a loving and intelligent dog who deserves a chance to find a home where she can feel safe and secure. If you’re an experienced dog owner with the patience and time to help her feel at ease, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out if you think you could offer Bailey the kind of home she needs. Thank you for considering giving her a fresh start

Story
Klaus is a certified AKC German shepherd. He is 2 years old and is not neutered. He is somewhat an anxious doggie but is a huge lover boy. He is so so sweet, cuddly and loves walks, runs, and time outside. He MUST go to a home WITHOUT other pets. No cats, dogs or any other animals. I am looking for a family or single individual who wants a loyal dog who will love you and who will love him back. - he is great with animals in passing such as at a dog park or walking. He is socials as German Shepherds are. He is also trainable and knows basic commands. But he should NOT live and share a space with other animals. He really is a great, sweet, loving dog who deserves all the love from an owner who is willing to be patient with him as he adjust to his new home!

Story
Looking for a good forever home for my loving dog Luka. Luka is a 5 yr old, 90 pound German shepherd mix. He is a very lovable and playful dog. He loves laying on your lap while your watching TV and bringing his toys to you to play with him. I adopted him from the SPCA when he was 2 months old. He is crate trained and loves going in there to relax. Would prefer a home with a fenced in backyard for him to run in and get exercise. Any other questions or information, please feel free to ask.

Story
Ryder is a 3 year old, male. He's 72 lbs, neutered and up to date on his shots, as well as Heartguard and Nextguard. Ryder is an active, healthy, playful pup. He's very loyal to his owner. He loves cuddles, long walks, and baths in the water hose. Ryder loves children, although when excited he's a jumper, not realizing how big he is. He needs to be trained not to jump. Ryder does not like strangers to approach him and doesn't like strangers approaching his home, however he is very friendly once he knows someone. I think he would do well with dogs medium to large size, as he does well with my female dog and doesn't seem to mind other dogs on long walks. He would not do well with small animals. Ryder does well in the house while his human is busy or has long work days. He knows simple commands, like sit, lay, and stay and is very treat motivated. He's an easy learner with treats. He's a bit clumsy and hard headed, but he's no dummy. A good fit for Ryder would be someone who is active
