Story
Buddy is a lovable baby. He is 7 years old. Due to losing our home to foreclosure, I have not been able to keep him. A friend was fostering him, but received eviction papers and can no longer keep him and has called the pound. Buddy is an amazing dog. He grew up with my 3 children, cat, and a small dog. (He thinks HE is a small dog) He is house broken and will let you know when he has to potty. He will also alert if anyone comes to your door. He loves to play, going on walks, taking rides, and especially loves to cuddle. He loves love. I am desperate to save his life. He doesn’t deserve any of this and I am heartbroken, but have faith that he will find his forever home. Please help him! I never imagined any of this to happen and it’s beyond my control and he is beyond deserving of a loving family. That’s all he’s ever known..

Story
Loving Dog Needs a Home with a Playmate! We’re looking for a wonderful new home for our beloved dog, Bear. He’s an amazing companion—loving, well-behaved, and great with people, kids, and other pets—but he thrives best when he has another dog to play with. Unfortunately, he’s been feeling lonely in our home since we relocated, and we want to find him a place where he can have the companionship he needs. About Bear: - Friendly, affectionate, and great with other dogs - Gentle and super submissive, despite his large size - Fully house-trained and well-mannered - Off leash trained as well as other commands - Loves to play ball and be part of the action - Fully up-to-date on vaccinations and vet care We are seeking a loving family with another dog who would enjoy having a playful, gentle companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, social pup to join your pack, please reach out!

Story
Buddy is one years old. We took in buddy from family that was unable to care for him when he was a puppy. We currently have a six month baby in the household. And are finding it hard to dedicate time that he needs. We have two other dogs that are older and able to go longer periods without being played with. and the cat in the house that he gets along with, but naturally, he doesn’t get the attention he needs, because we are so busy with working full time and caring for our baby and other pets in the house. We also don’t have a fenced in backyard that he could play in. He is house trained and crate trained. And can go potty on command. Looking for someone that has the space for buddy and can dedicate the love and time he deserves. We just want to find him a good home.

Story
We adopted Bailey from a shelter to save her from being euthanized, she is a good, loving, very sweet girl. We, however are in our late 60s, we live in our travel trailer. She gets very car sick and we have not been able to find a solution. We also feel, she would be better off with a yard to run and play, maybe another dog. We recently lost our dog and thought we could do this, but we feel she deserves better and do not want her put down.
