Story
This is our sweet boy Finnick. We found him about a year ago without a home, and too sweet to not take in. We are unsure of his age, we assumed he was around a year when we found him but have not noticed any significant growth or change in his youthful personality in the time that we’ve cared for him. Finnick is an extremely sweet, loving boy that ourselves and our neighbors have quickly grown to love and care about. He is through and through an outside boy, rain or shine, who thrives best when he is allowed and able to roam freely during the day and come home for a nice warm bed and food in the afternoon/evening. He is also extremely loyal. The boy simply loves love and craves any and all forms of affection. He has been amazing with our dogs - very submissive if you already have a dominant male - as well as cats and with kids. I’m not sure who will miss him more, us or our other pets. Simply just looking for a good, loving home who can give him the attention and care he deserves.

Story
Meet OJ, the sweetest cuddler that ever lived. He will steal your heart (and your sofa) with one look. His birthday is March 26, 2019. He was my sister’s baby first, but sadly she passed away and OJ has been with me ever since. I want nothing more than to give this big baby the best home. It breaks my heart to part with him, but he doesn’t get along with one of my dogs. He gets along with some dogs and not others and so I feel that he would thrive in a home as an only pet. He should not be in a home with cats. He is excellent with kids. My toddlers climb all over him and love on him. He just wants all the pets and rubs. He’s very patient and docile with kids. OJ’s favorite things are all things food, chew toys, comfy beds and blankets, cuddles, belly rubs and scratches, whipped cream (he comes running when he hears the can), and time outside catching a frisbee or going for walks. If you are looking for a companion and a best friend, you found his profile.

Story
Mira is an about 1.5 years old female Belgian Malinois. She was dumped with 3 of her puppies right before Christmas 2024. The pups all found good homes, I (her foster dad) got her christmas eve. She has some big trust issues with humans, but will warm up after a few days of good expierences. She is very timid with new humans, but extremely sweet once she lesrns to trust you. Shes been around kids, and shes timid with them too. She is very dog social and confident with most environments. Shes a helathy weight now. The pics are from whwn I got her. She is looking for a active and patient owner that can love her as much as she deserves.

Story
Cujo is the sweetest boy you’ll ever meet! He is just over 2 years old. He is a great cuddle buddy but also loves to get active! He really is great for any person as a new best friend. He does need to be an only pet as he isn’t great with other dogs or cats. He’s so friendly to everyone, whether it is children or adults. He’s loves belly rubs and to play fetch or tug o war. He’s the most loving, loyal, trustworthy companion you could have. I love him very much and I know his new best friend will be head over heels the second they meet.

Story
Bon Bon is a sweet and beautiful young lady who is very nervous right now.  Her 91 year old Mom is no longer able to care for her and she needs a new home.  She has only always been with this mom so she really hasnt been around other dogs, cats or kids.   She is house trained and crate trained and  very well behaved.  She will make someone a wonderful companion , ideally someone who has a fenced yard and has no children or other pets.  We know this is a very tall order, but we think there is someone out there for this sweet girl.  ##2300127##

Story
This sweet beauty is the complete package.  She is house trained, crate trained, gets along well with other dogs, cats, and kids and she is actually a very spoiled, sweet girl.  She's a big girl at 80 pounds, but oh so gentle and loving. She spends most of her time indoors, but enjoys getting out and running around for awhile each day.   She's very well mannered and hoping to find a new home soon.   Sadly, her owners are older and can no longer care for her.  Might this girl be the perfect companion you've always wnated?    ##2238863##
