Story
Hello, this is my dog Everest. She’s 4 years old, a bullypit. I’m looking for someone who will have the time to take care of her and give her the necessary things she needs to live a long happy life. Unfortunately I no longer have the funds to care for her. She was left to me by my ex and with me being a single mother to a 3 year old, I don’t have the time to care for her. Everest has a lot of energy, she loves the outdoors, she loves walks so I hope to find someone who will want to take her out and do a lot of things with her.

She was purchased for my mom. She has decided Chloe would be too much for her to handle now. My grandmother has to come live with my mom now. It would be an inconvenience now for her. Chloe is very happy dog. She would be a great addition to a loving home. She was a Christmas gift.

Story
I adopted Bonnie from the Humane Society November 2023. She was born in October 2020. Bonnie is a beautiful, loving lap dog but needs a more active family. I am a 71 y/o woman with arthritis & 2 knee replacements. At the time I adopted Bonnie I had 2 other elderly dogs at home. She got along very well with them. They have both since passed away. The last, Kansas, passed away July 2025. Since then Bonnie has become more fearful of other dogs when we go on walks. She is very full of energy and loves to play with her squeaky plush toys at home. When you say “WALK”, she does a bouncy happy dance. I switched her to a prong collar to give me more control and we can walk safely. She does still walk faster than I am able. I have a fenced in back yard and she has a doggy door so she can go out anytime. She is fine at home alone for a couple of hours but if I will be gone for longer she goes to her crate easily.

Story
Meet Daisy Mae, the tall drink of water you didn’t know you needed. Born around January 2022, she’s basically a professional at being both your hiking buddy and your couch-side snuggle supervisor. This big, goofy girl thrives in the company of other dogs—seriously, she thinks doggy playdates should be a full-time job and she’s the CEO. Cats? No problem. Chickens? Well… let’s just say Daisy Mae believes they’re suspicious little feathered aliens and she’d rather not negotiate peace treaties with them.   She’s got all the basics down—potty trained, kennel trained, and polite enough that you won’t find your favorite shoes mysteriously “remodeled.” What she’s really looking for is a family who will match her zest for life, whether that’s tackling trails, showing off at the dog park, or pretending she’s a 70-pound lapdog when the day winds down. Daisy Mae is equal parts adventure partner and cuddle connoisseur, and she’s ready to make your family complete.     Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Dental, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $395.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 19, 2025, 7:09 pm

Story
Meet Shadow! Shadow is a 3-year-old pup born approx 6/21/22 with a heart full of love and loyalty. She’s fully potty trained, does wonderfully in her kennel, and finds comfort in having a safe, cozy spot to finally call her own. Shadow is a sweet and affectionate snuggle-bug with her person, but she also has plenty of playful energy. She loves to run, bark, and chase after balls. While she can be nervous at first and needs slow, patient introductions with new dogs, she has the potential to be a good canine companion once she feels secure with her family. She would also thrive in a place where she can express herself vocally without limitations.  Because of her high prey drive, Shadow will keep a close watch on squirrels and would do best in a home without cats (not cat tested). She’s also a bit jumpy when excited, so a household without small children may be the safest fit. Shadow thrives in a calm, structured environment and has so much potential to shine with the right person. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will make you laugh with her sweet little quirks, cuddle with you on the couch, and join in on everyday adventures, Shadow may be the perfect match!       Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Dental, Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $550.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 24, 2025, 8:27 pm

Story
Hi, I’m Lola! I’m a sweet, gentle girl who knows all my basics — I can sit and lay down like a pro. I’m also kennel trained, potty trained, and house trained, so I fit in nicely with a family routine. I sleep in my kennel at night and stay in it quietly during the day when everyone is at work or school. I might let out a little whine now and then, but it never lasts long. Most of the time, I’m perfectly content to nap, relax, or just keep to myself. I really like other dogs, but I do need to be fed separately — food is my one thing I prefer not to share. Once mealtime is over, though, I’m all about playing, cuddling, and being part of the pack. When I meet new dogs or new people, I can be a bit timid at first, but give me a little time and I’ll warm right up. Once I feel safe, I’m affectionate, snuggly, and ready to play with anyone who wants to be my friend. I’ve met cats, too, and I mostly just want to play with them. I’ve also been great with kids, at least as young as 12 that we know of. As long as kids understand that I need my space when I’m eating and don’t try to share my food, we should get along just fine. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who just wants a safe place, a little patience, and a family to adore… I think we might be a perfect match.  Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
