Story
I adopted Poppy about a year and a half ago when i lived with my ex. I wound up moving back home with family almost a year ago and there have been many changes to both of our lives. I work fulltime graveyard shift at a manual labor job and I am often too exhausted for her energy level. Half of my family is allergic to her. We have a small senior dog that she (mostly) got along with for most of our stay here but recently, she has become jealous and reactive towards her which is a very dangerous and concerning situation as Poppy outweighs her by almost 40lbs. I hate to admit it but I simply do not have the time or energy... or really knowledge to work on her behavioral issues and I believe she would thrive in a different environment. I believe she would do best in a single dog home due to her jealousy issues, but could potentially do well in a multi-dog home with an experienced trainer. She is extremely high energy and would thrive in a more active environment.

Story
Hello, im looking to rehome my dog Stanley. He is a large male pure bred German sheppard. He weighs 85lbs and is fixed. Due to some unforseen circumstances I can no longer properly care for him. Stan is compassionate and loyal, He is very good security system. He is very high energy. He is not a starter dog, his physical needs are very demanding as with any GSD. Best possible adopters would have GSD experience or currently have sheppards. He is never done playing. He needs someone to match his energy.

Story
40lb chocolate tri colored American bully. ABKC papered. Not neutered. 2.5 years. Shots up to date, chipped. Duke loves very hard. Very loyal to his owner. And would make a hell of a guard dog. Exhibits food aggression. Does not like other pets or people near his food. Never had an issue with Duke involving any of My kids, and they loved on him well. He is crate trained. Knows simple commands. Yard trained, runs free, and knew his yard limitations. Does not like unwelcome guests. If you are looking for former member of seal team 6, Duke is your point man. Hell do Mach 3 perimeter checks on your property for any intruders. Built like a tank. Duke is very active, but some aggressive behaviors, he needs a single, petless home.

Akita

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Gemma was found as a stray who was very sick. She was taken to the emergency vet who discovered that she had bone fragments in her intestines which were causing irritation. After some medication and fluid therapy, Gemma is as good as new. Through the entire process, though it was very clear the poor thing was not feeling well, Gemma was on her best behavior. She still accepted pets, gave kisses, and sat completely still for her blood draws and fluids. Gemma wants all the love and attention she can get. We did discover throughout her stay that Gemma also has luxating patellas, so we have started giving her joint supplements which she may need for life to keep her comfortable. We are exploring surgical treatment options as well. Gemma has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)

Story
Layla came to us when her owners got divorced and living situations changed. Layla is very confused about what happened. The shelter has been very overwhelming to her, and she just wants a quiet home where she can be the only animal, and not around children. Layla has so much love to give, but she needs someone who is willing to meet her where she's at to show her that it will all be okay again. Layla has been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has tested neg. for heartworm which is included in the adoption fee. If you would like to adopt this dog, you must come into the shelter for a meet and greet. We are open 12-4. (Closed Mondays & Wednesdays)
