Story
He does not have a dominant or aggressive bone in his body. He is fantastic with other dogs! He is NOT good with cats so if he goes to a home with cats, I recommend separating him from them. He could definitely use more training but otherwise, he is a sweet and playful boy.

Story
Meet Smokey – a 7-year-old pit bull mix I adopted from Union County. He’s a big snuggler who loves to be close to his people and curl up under blankets. He deserves more time and attention than I can give right now. It has been challenging with blending families and adding a few more kids in the mix who have allergies to him. When it comes to other dogs that I introduce him too, he plays well. When the dogs come into our yard, it’s more territorial, so he doesn’t come off as friendly. He is great with our youngest son who is almost 2. When the older kids play or have friends over he gets really excited, so then I kennel him. He’s best suited for a home with a fenced-in yard where he can run and play safely. Smokey is gentle, loyal, and full of love—he just wants to be near his humans. If you’re looking for a devoted companion, this sweet boy might be the perfect fit. Please reach out if you or someone you know can give him the forever home he deserves.

Story
Willow is a good girl. She is approximately 5 years old. She has never bitten or hurt anyone on purpose. She has been with my husband since she was a baby. She is spayed and up to date on shots. She is very well house trained. We are looking to rehome her because we just don't have the space for her. We live in a small mobile home with 2 small children and have no area for her to run. My husband was recently injured and is unable to walk her now (we do not have a fenced yard) She would greatly benefit from having a yard to run in. She is good with kids, although she is large and may knock down small children. We have chihuahuas and she does fine with them, however, I do not know how she would be with other dogs she does not know. I do not believe she would do well with cats or other small animals without additional training.

Story
These rescue babies are looking for homes. Currently still available for adoption are Emmett, Tucker, and Bleu. They were born December 17th. Their mom appears to be a heeler/lab mix, she was rescued by my friend and was pregnant at the time. They have had 2 sets of shots and have been dewormed. Rehoming fee applies to make sure they get good homes. All of them are just so sweet and would make wonderful family dogs. Please specify when applying which pup you are specifically interested in. They are currently being fostered while waiting for their forever homes. Reach out to me if you are interested in learning more.

Story
Beautiful brindle Susie is a 2 year old gal who needs a good home! Requirements: 1) Must give frequent belly rubs 2) Must accept that Susie Q is likely to love you so much, she becomes a Velcro dog. She is dog selective. Must have meet n greet with your dog. Her adoption fee includes spay, microchip, vaccines, and heartworm free/on prevention. Come meet sweet Susie! She has been here for weeks with NO interest at all. She tends to get too excited when someone is coming to see her, and it can be a little off putting! But when she calms down, she's so, so, so, sooooo loving! In a different environment, she will be a totally different dog. She really needs out of here. Can you be her hero?November 3, 2024, 3:56 pm
