Story
This sweetheart was rescued from a junkyard along with five of her siblings. She responds well to Nebula and Nebbi, and is housebroken. She absolutely loves other dogs and gets along fantastically with both young children and other animals, including cats and other smaller animals when introduced properly. She has a very friendly disposition and shows love indiscriminately to everyone she meets. She is highly intelligent and seems eager to learn more than I have had time to show her. She can sit and shake and listens wonderfully but has not ever received any one on one attention like she deserves due to the consistent issues in her placements of too many other animals and caregivers without the time.

Story
Major is a great, loving dog and has come a long way since we found him, but he has some quirks! He's 7-8 years old and about 65-70 pounds. We're looking for a new home for him based on concerns with him being in the same home as small children and another dog. He loves walks, car rides, sprinting around the back yard, lounging around and going everywhere with his humans. He's house trained, knows all the basic commands, crate trained, e-collar trained, good on a leash, and always excited to see you. He has a healthy prey drive for small critters (not cats or dogs, but squirrels and rabbits), needs to be crated when left alone (gets anxious), hates having his nails cut, and doesn't get along with every dog (some yes, but hit or miss out and about). The perfect home would be one without small kids or other dogs, where he gets plenty of exercise and affection! He's been a great loyal dog since we found him, but time to find him a forever home! I can provide all supplies for new owner.

Story
**Meet Daisy** Hi there! My name is Daisy, and I'm a 6-year-old American Pit Bull looking for my forever home. I'm a happy and loving girl who just wants to find a new best friend to share my life with. I've been through boot camp, and I'm eager to continue my learning! I would love to find someone who is willing to work closely with my trainer to help me thrive and grow. Since my beloved companion passed away from Covid in 2021, I've been feeling a bit lonely. I would thrive in a home where I can be the only pet, receiving all the love and attention I deserve. If you're looking to add a loyal and affectionate companion to your life, please reach out for more information about me. Let's make some wonderful memories together!

Story
Meet Darcy Darcy is a 40-pound female Greyhound-Rottweiler mix born on December 27, 2023. She’s currently living in an apartment but would do best in a home with a yard where she can run and play freely. About Darcy: • Affectionate and Playful: Darcy loves attention and is very energetic. Once she warms up to people, she’s friendly and enjoys being part of the action. • Trained: She knows sit, paw, and wait/stay, and she walks well on a leash. • Apartment-Trained: She knows where to go for bathroom needs, though she would benefit from outdoor space. • Quirks: Darcy has a habit of whining at the microwave but is otherwise well-behaved. Health: • Darcy is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations (next due in 2025). She has no known health issues. Why We’re Rehoming: We adopted Darcy from a shelter when she was young. However, as she’s grown, it’s clear she needs more space and activity than we can provide in an apartment. We want to find her a home that suits her energetic nature
