Story
Meet our beautiful dog, a loving and joyful soul with an incredible heart. She has been amazing with children and has shown patience, gentleness, and kindness with our 2-year-old and 1-year-old. She is affectionate, loyal, and deeply connected to her people, always happy to be near and part of family life. She is also full of energy and curiosity, and truly thrives when she can run, play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. She loves movement, fun, and engagement, and shines brightest when given time to be active and stimulated both physically and emotionally. This decision comes from love and honesty. Our current season of life is very demanding, with young children, work, and frequent travel, and we are no longer able to give her the time, attention, and consistency she deserves. Our hope is to find her a family who can give her patience, structure, affection, and plenty of activity. She deserves a home where she can feel secure, fulfilled, and happy every day. She is special.

Story
Todd is almost 7 years old! I adopted him from a shelter in 2020. He was found on the streets and looked uncared for. Since then he has blossomed into a fun and sweet pup! Todd loves to sleep under the covers and play outside in the sun. He really needs another dog friend to play with and keep him company. He is very adventurous and has gone on many hikes, paddling trips, and roadtrips with me. He needs a lot of outdoor/active time, access to a fenced in yard and someone who would let him sit on your lap when he is feeling cuddly. He is house and crate trained but will mark territory if not careful in the beginning. He does not chew on things or bite but is very food motivated and will get into food items if not stored appropriately. He loves his small toys and cozy beds. He has lived with other dogs and cats but hasn't been around children before. He is so special to me and I am hoping to find him a home that he would really thrive in and be loved and cared for!

Story
URGENT!!! I must rehome my beloved dog, Sheeba, as soon as possible. After the passing of my partner of 23 years, I had to sell my home with a fenced yard and I am unable to care for her. Sheeba is a cuddly, athletic, 61-pound, eight-year-old female pit bull/lab mix. She is spayed, in good health, and up to date on her shots. She is crate-trained, loves to play with other dogs, and is good with cats. She will play fetch as long as you are willing to throw a toy, and she absolutely adores being petted. I have never had a more loving companion. I live in Hendersonville, NC. Rehoming fee is $100, which will be donated to Asheville Humane Society. Please help find Sheeba a loving home.

Story
Scooby is a year and a half old, his birthday is June 7th. I acquired him through work and have had him since he was 2 months old. He is a very good boy, he has had little socialization, a little timid to new people/things, loves people and kids, he’s neutered and has never been aggressive. He loves sticks and is a very happy boy. He is potty trained but needs someone with the time to take him outside to use the bathroom. I would like to be able to see him/give him toys/etc if possible. I love him, he’s nearly perfect and very funny.
