Story
Meet me, your future best friend! I am a sweet, loving girl with a big heart and an even bigger personality. I am smart as can be and I am very obedient. My favorite game is tug-of-war, and if you have some fresh watermelon, you’ll win me over in no time! I absolutely love playing with other dogs, though I can be a bit selective about their energy levels. I adore every Hooman I meet and am always ready to give kisses and tail wags!However, I do have a few quirks. I am not a fan of kitties, so a feline-free home would be best for me. I also get nervous during storms and fireworks, so I’ll need a patient and understanding family to help me feel safe during those scary moments.Because of my high energy, I would do best in a home with children over the age of 8 who can keep up with my enthusiasm and playfulness. Additionally, I have mast cell tumors that require monitoring, but they are kept at bay with a very cheap medication which will make it easy for my new family to provide any necessary medical care. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate pup who will bring joy, laughter, and endless companionship into your life, I might be the perfect match for you! Could you be my forever home?Requirements: Martingale Collar; Storm Fear; Medical- Mast Cell Tumors; Dog energy selective; Children 8+All of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

Story
Hi there! My name is Morrigan, and I’m a three-year-old Husky-Bulldog mix with a heart as big as my energy level! My dad had to join the Air Force, so I’m looking for a new family who can keep up with my adventurous spirit and give me all the love I crave. I love people and just want to be near my humans as much as possible. Snuggles? Yes, please! I’d love to sleep in bed with you if you’ll let me! I adore running, playing with other dogs, and chasing tossed treats (I never miss!). If you love jogging, skateboarding, or biking, I’d make an excellent workout partner! I know how to sit and I’m already house trained, so no worries there! I do love a good dig and will try to sneak under fences if left alone. I need a home where I’m either leash-walked or supervised in the yard. I’m not great at coming when called if I get out, so keeping me safe is a must! If you love outdoor fun, long walks, and lots of playtime, I’m the perfect dog for you! I need plenty of exercise and attention to be my happiest self. Love, MorriganRequirements: Martingale CollarAll of our dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, up to date with age appropriate vaccinations, heart worm or feleuk/FIV tested, fecal tested, rabies and tag, and microchipped before being placed in your home.

Story
King is a handsome, 45-pound Pitbull with a heart full of love and a personality that shines! This adorable, playful guy is one of our newest transfers, and he’s ready to find his forever home. Despite being heartworm positive, there’s great news—H.A.L.O. is covering the full cost of his treatment! All you need to do is provide him with love, patience, and a cozy place to heal. King is a friendly, social pup who does great with dogs, cats, and children. He still has some puppy-like energy and can be a little humpy around other dogs, but there’s no aggression involved—just a silly, unneutered boy who will settle down after his treatment and neuter. Unfortunately, he has to wait to be neutered until after his heartworm treatment, but he’s ready to start his journey to health and happiness with the right family by his side. King is looking for a loving, committed family to support him through his heartworm treatment and beyond. He promises to return the favor with cuddles, tail wags, and endless devotion for the rest of his life. Could you be the one to give this sweet boy the home he deserves?
