Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 8/1/2020I am a happy boy that likes my people and gets along with other dogs. I am housebroken, crate trained, and love to snuggle with my foster mom.I  am a 4 year old black Chihuahua Mix - neutered  - up to date on all vaccines - and so ready to find my forever home.   While I do love all people, it would be best that my forever home does not have any small children as I tend to get a little rough and mouthy when playing.   I do prefer that my new forever home is a home with a fenced in yard and has a doggie door.  I don’t really like the apartment life! I like to run and get in my exercise when I go out to take care of business. I do not like dog parks, there is just too much going on and I will be very vocal because not all eyes are on me! If you think I am a good match for you please put in an application and my foster mom will be in contact. Come meet me at the next adoption event!  Up to date on age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, neutered and micro-chipped.   Adoption Fee:   $100.00   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2024, 6:34 pm

After I get used to you, I like being around you and don't mind you picking me up or snuggling me. If given a chance, I could make the perfect addition to your family, so what do you say, would you like to meet me?

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 10/21/2018Ain't nothing but a hound dog.... oh and some shepherd they think, basically a heinz 57 with lots of great traits. I love to be with my people and would be great with older folks, a young couple or a family with lots of kids!   I do great with people, but am not so fond of sharing my people with other dogs.  I would love a fenced in yard so we can play fetch and I can get in some afternoon naps in the sun.  At 5 years old, I am past the chewing stage, and have great house manners and know basic commands.  Are you ready for a forever friend to watch TV with, hang out in the yard or garden with, and just be best buddies?  (CM) Up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered.  Adoption Fee:  $100.00        Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 3, 2024, 5:48 pm

Story
Django, a 75lb Pitbull, is 9 years old and displays no behavioral issues. He is well-versed in house training and has received training classes at PetSmart since he was a puppy. Known for his calm demeanor, affectionate nature, and excellent compatibility with kids and other dogs, Django readily welcomes children of all ages and enjoys being in the company of people. He is up to date with all his vaccinations, and his complete medical records and history are accessible at Banfield. As I navigate the complexities of an ongoing high-conflict custody and divorce case, along with the mental strain it entails, I find myself unable to continue caring for this animal. My daily struggles have reached a point where I cannot bear the additional burden on my own well-being. Moreover, impending relocation necessitates parting ways with this pet. Each passing day, the stress intensifies, and I urgently need to have this animal relocated to restore peace and facilitate my progress moving forward.
