Story
Hubbell is a wonderful dog. He's 6.5 and about as chill as can be. I had him for about 2 days before my landlord informed me she is selling our house, and we have had to make the unfortunate decision to re-home him. I didn't want him back at the shelter so we still have him, but we are also still getting to know him! Hubbell loves everyone he meets. He really just wants to snuggle. He's gentle taking treats and has been good around small children so far. He does okay on a leash, and would improve with a little training. Currently, his walks are short as he is being treated for heartworm. He has about 4 months left of his monthly treatment, and I have meds to send with him. He also does well in his kennel (a treat always helps him go in!) I have a kennel, a bed, a leash and harness to donate, as well as any food or treats I have left. We haven't tested him with other dogs. The shelter said he was shy in play groups, and on walks he seems to want to play. Unsure of cats.

Bear was adopted on March 24th, 2025. Bear is currently 9 months old. He loves cuddling on the couch and loves playing with squeaky toys and laying outside soaking up the sun on warm days. Bear is really playful and loving with a lot of energy. Bear is great around kids and can be very protective when it comes to his family. We are looking for a loving and caring family to care for Bear.

Story
Hi everyone, I’m reaching out for help on behalf of my parents. They have a dog named Luna who urgently needs to be rehomed. Luna has been with us since she was a pup and has always lived with other dogs. We’ve tried everything to help her and our other female dog get along, but the fights have become more frequent, and it’s clear she would do better in a different environment. Luna is spayed and up to date on all her shots. She would thrive in a home where she is the only dog, with a calm and loving environment just for her. If you or anyone you know can provide a safe, single-dog home for Luna, please reach out. We truly want her to be somewhere she can feel happy and at peace. ❤️

Story
I am handicapped with a Parkinson's diagnosis and Lyme disease and essential tremor. My nephew moved in with me to help care for me and thought it'd be a good idea that we had a dog. Then he moved out and left me with the dog. That is a bit too much for me with my condition. He is a very loving dog and needs more time than I can give him at this point. I would love to keep him but that there's just the only way I can. Have a huge dog house for him and all the toys he loves to Play with especially chasing the tennis ball. How is trained? If you stop feeding him at 5:00 and no water after 7:00, let him out before he goes to sleep and he'll be good. Thank you for your consideration.

Story
My daughter recieved this dog from her ex boyfriend when she was 6 months pregnant. We have been desperate to find someone who loves animals and has time and patience to train. He needs to go to a home with no kids or small dogs. Not sure how he would do with bigger dogs. My daughter already had two chihuahuas. We tried a long time ago to reach out to bully rescues and had no luck. They only wanted to give training tips. She is a single mom with a 2 year old now.

Bentley was the last of his litter and happens to be super curly, but he is a purebred golden retriever! I believe he is approaching 3 , and boy does he have energy! He’s Been raised around another dog , and 2 kiddos . He LOVES to run outside , so space to run and play is a must! He does very well with listening , just again needs much more space than we can offer! ( he does shed a ton! Will need groomed often!)
