Story
I am fostering Hugo. I only know that his owner was moving in her her boyfriend. She had 2 dogs, so he is used to other dogs & plays well with other dogs. I have only had him for 13 days, he is already very loyal! He minds, is house broken, uses a leash well. He IS overweight, but loves walks & being outside!! And he does LOVE food. I am only feeding him twice - morning & night. He also has some skin issues, but I am giving him a med that she gave me & bathing him with a medicated shampoo, outmeal wipes (which he doesnt mind at all! He also lets.me.do the ear wash, no problem!) so the skin issues has improved greatly in 2 weeks. He loves to cover up when he sleeps. Squirrels & motorcycles make him bark! He is a protector & would be great for a retired person or someone that works part time & is home a lot. However, he does very well by himself. I do not kennel him & never an accident or tore anything up. He is a lover!! Needs walks!!

Story
Rehoming Our Sweet Girl Poptart It breaks our hearts to say this, but we need to find a new, loving home for our sweet girl, Poptart. Due to our current accommodations, we’re unable to keep her with us, and we want her to go to a family who can give her the space and care she deserves. About Poptart: Approximately 3 years old, a rescue from Hawaii. Recently had her rabies shot before moving to our current location. Believed to be a coonhound mix (according to our vet), though we don’t know her breed for certain. Spayed, potty trained, and crate trained (though she prefers not to stay in the crate for long). High energy when outdoors but relaxed and calm around the house. Great with kids, including those with disabilities, we were in the process of training her as a service animal for our daughter. Poptart would thrive in a home with space to explore outdoors and a family who can give her the attention she deserves.

Story
His name is Atlas, he is 6 years old, 8/1/2018. Atlas is actually a Blue Heeler/Australian Shepard mix. I am a truck driver, and Atlas was secretly donated to me when I was at work when his original human parents divorced. Atlas responds very well to reward-based training. He is a great watch dog also I feel he would be great for a couple or individual with or without other dogs. he has been known to chase cats but hasn't harmed cats or kids he just needs a loving forever home where he can get the time and attention he needs.
