Story
Rocket is a a 6yr old terrier mix. He's a great dog with lots of energy. He loves being around his people. He loves to go on hikes and walks and car rides! He’s a super sweet boy and will cuddle up with you and be your best companion. We are looking for a home for him that doesn’t have kids under the age of 5. And no other pets. Preferably people who are home more often than not or work from home. He just loves to be around someone.

Story
I’m in a foster home! To adopt me, email my foster parent at terrymark728@gmail.com.Are you looking for someone incredibly tall, dark, and handsome-- someone that will be totally devoted? How about with a great sense of humor? Look no further- Ollie is your man! He is a loving, silly, 6-year-old Great Dane who just wants to spend time with you. His favorite things include: long slow walks with lots of sniffing, any kind of vegetable in his food, cuddling really close in bed, and romping around the yard. He would prefer not to be alone for too long but does well with an established routine. He would thrive with another dog around to show him the ropes but would do best in a home without cats. Ollie is a very good boy waiting for you!

I`m in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at johnmacdowie@yahoo.comMeo! What a gorgeous gal we have here. She is a frisky, busy miss seeking an adventurous family to join and have a blast with. Meo adores hanging with people and she really LOVES getting exercise. If you need a dog to get you motivated and out of the house, well Meo is up for that job. FYI, Meo will do best as the only dog in your home, but she`s more than up to being the sole source of your affection, She also loves getting great meals (and she needs some as she arrived as a skinny stray) and oodles of love. Ready for a great new friend to go on long walks with? Meo is SUPER ready for you.Check out Meo`s video! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nyE8WSXxNGU

Story
I`m in a Foster Home! To meet me, email my foster parent at Mollace4@gmail.com.Three legged Mia is a happy-go-lucky girl! Despite the challenges life has thrown at her she has remained a sweet and trusting dog. She spends her days in our home getting love from all five roommates and is friendly with each one of us! She is very chill and well-behaved in the house, keeping herself busy with her toys or sleeping on the couch! She loves her people and loves to snuggle. She is fully potty trained and working on crate training! She sleeps through the night no issue. Despite her three legs, she is always up for a walk! She loves being outside and walks well on leash, not reacting to the dogs or people she passes. She is such an adorable, silly dog, and would make the best companion!

Her gratitude is evident in every wag and cuddle! She gets along great with other dogs and with kids. She hasn`t met any cats.Maria does require prescription dog food, but she`s an enthusiastic eater and has no trouble with mealtime. Her foster parent can’t speak highly enough of her: “Maria is the sweetest, most affectionate dog I’ve ever met. Despite her past, she is polite, loves meeting new people, and is always ready for pets! She’s doing well with her alone time and is making great progress on pad training.”If you`re looking for a loving companion who will fill your home with warmth and joy, Maria is the one for you.

Story
Max is a full throttle player, and he wants to play with you! This super handsome funster is a fantastic doggie. He is so athletic, and he thrives with a busy schedule. He is also a lover boy who curves right in when getting pettings. He’s the full package people! Max was adopted from us a few months ago but is sadly back. Not his fault at all- he was just a bit too rambunctious for the kids. We now know that he needs a family that wants to play with him a lot and go on lots of frisky, energy burning walks. He LOVES to engage with his toys with us and he is really oodles of fun. Ready for great adventures with an amazing, handsome doggie- Max is ready for you!
