Story
Meet Milo – A 1-Year-Old Lab Mix Ready for a Second ChanceMilo is a big, loving guy with a heart full of potential—but he needs the right person to help him become the well-mannered companion we know he can be. At just one year old, Milo came to us as a stray in July, and since then, he’s shown us that he’s not just a dog; he’s a work in progress. This energetic, smart Lab mix is looking for a dedicated adopter who is ready to give him the time, structure, and training he needs to thrive.Milo is an incredibly friendly dog, but his early life lacked the basic training and boundaries that every dog needs. As a result, he can be a bit overwhelming at times, especially when he gets excited. He loves people and wants to be involved in everything, but he can struggle with jumping, mouthing, and respecting personal space. He’s also very energetic and needs a home where he can get plenty of physical and mental stimulation.Training Needs & Requirements:Milo is a smart dog, and with the right training, he has the potential to be an amazing companion. However, he is not a `turnkey` dog, and he will require an experienced, patient adopter who understands that his behavioral challenges are not insurmountable—just a bit of a project! Here`s what you need to know about Milo’s training and behavior needs:- **High Energy & Enrichment:** Milo is full of energy and needs a home where he can burn off that excess drive. Regular exercise is a must—long walks, runs, playtime, and puzzle toys will keep his mind and body engaged. Without enough stimulation, he can become frustrated and engage in unwanted behaviors. - **Behavioral Training:** Milo will need consistent, positive reinforcement training to help him learn proper manners and socialization skills. He has a tendency to jump, mouth, and get overly excited in certain situations, so he will need help learning impulse control. With time, patience, and dedication, he can learn basic obedience commands (sit, stay, down, etc.) and proper greetings without getting too excited. He’s a quick learner, so once he understands what’s expected of him, he will thrive. - **Personal Space & Boundaries:** Milo has not yet learned the importance of respecting personal space. He can be overwhelming with his enthusiasm, and it’s important that his adopters provide clear boundaries and be firm when needed. Teaching him how to interact calmly and appropriately will be key to his success.

Meet Tucker – A Sweet, Loyal 11-Year-Old Lab Mix with the Energy of a Puppy!If you’re looking for, loving companion who will shower you with affection, meet Tucker, an 11-year-old black Labrador Retriever mix with a heart of gold. Tucker is a sweet senior boy who’s ready to settle into a comfortable home where he can enjoy his golden years—but don’t let his age fool you! Tucker has the energy and enthusiasm of a much younger dog and is always ready for a good walk, play session, or a tasty treat. He may be 11, but he certainly doesn’t act his age!Tucker is a loyal and loving dog who has so much to offer. While he loves his people and is a bit of a “couch potato” after some exercise, his energy and enthusiasm will surprise you—he’s proof that age is just a number! He’s looking for a home where he can be the only pet, enjoy daily adventures, and spend his days in the company of a dedicated, experienced owner.Training & Behavior Needs:Tucker is a quick learner and loves food rewards, making him highly motivated for training. He knows a few basic commands but would benefit from some reinforcement to keep him sharp and well-mannered. Here’s what you need to know about his behavior and training needs:- Basic Obedience: Tucker knows the basics, but like any dog, he could use a refresher. He’s very treat-motivated, so positive reinforcement and food rewards will work wonders in reinforcing commands like sit, stay, and come. He may be an older dog, but his brain is sharp and eager to learn!- Behavior with Other Animals: Tucker has shown frustration and redirected aggression when encountering other pets, so he **must be placed in a home without other animals**. He’s happiest as the only pet in the household and prefers to be the center of attention. While he has lived with other dogs in the past, his recent behavior suggests that he would be best as an `only child` in his new home.- Adult-Only Home: Tucker is best suited for an **adult-only home** where he can receive the attention, consistency, and structure he needs. He is not a dog for first-time dog owners, as he requires someone who can provide clear boundaries and confidently manage his behavior. His new family should be experienced and patient, with a calm approach to training and managing his needs.- Frustration and Stress Management: Tucker can be a bit overwhelming when he’s excited, so it’s important that his new home provides clear structure

Whether you’re looking for a jogging partner, a buddy for long walks, or someone to play fetch with for hours, Rolo is up for it all. His energy is contagious, and he’ll keep you entertained while being your loyal sidekick through it all.Though Rolo is full of personality, he’s still working on refining his manners and would thrive with an experienced owner who can guide him through the training he needs. He’s eager to learn and has made great progress so far—he is already familiar with several basic commands and has a strong foundation to build upon.Training & Behavior Needs:Rolo is a smart and eager-to-please dog who learns quickly, especially when food is involved. He’s very treat-motivated, which makes him an ideal candidate for continued training. Here’s what you need to know about his training needs:Basic Commands: Rolo already knows several basic commands, including sit, stay, lay down, heel, and he’s very gentle when taking treats. He’s highly responsive to positive reinforcement, and with consistency, he will continue to excel in his training. While he has a solid foundation, some additional practice and refinement will help him improve his manners and learn better self-control.Channeling His Energy: Rolo’s high energy and excitement can sometimes get the best of him. He’ll benefit from more structured walks, regular playtime, and mental stimulation to help him focus and burn off energy in a productive way. Engaging him in puzzle toys or obedience training sessions will help keep his mind sharp and focused.Training with Distractions: Rolo is a dog who tends to get overly excited and can be reactive in certain situations, especially around other dogs. He would do best in a home where he is the only pet, as he can be overwhelmed by the presence of other animals. With training and patience, Rolo can learn how to manage his reactivity, but he will need a calm, pet-free environment to succeed.Leash Training: Rolo is eager to be on the move, and while he’s doing great on a leash, he may need further training to walk politely without pulling. Positive reinforcement techniques will help him develop better leash manners as he continues to grow.

Whether it’s a hike, a run, or just chasing squirrels (don’t worry, he never catches them), Fred is always up for a good time. He’s got more energy than a double shot of espresso and a sense of humor that will keep you smiling every day.Fred is the ultimate go-getter—a lovable, bouncy ball of energy who’s ready to make every moment an adventure.

Meet Veeran – A Spirited, Loyal Rottweiler Mix Seeking an Experienced, Adult-Only HomeIntroducing Veeran, a one-year-old Rottweiler mix with an independent spirit, playful antics, and a heart full of potential. Veeran is a young dog who’s eager to explore, play, and form strong bonds with those he trusts. Though he may appear shy and timid at first, especially around new people, Veeran has a charming and affectionate side that comes out with patience, consistency, and the right guidance.Veeran is full of energy and loves to entertain himself—whether it’s chasing his tail, pouncing on squeaky toys, or just zooming around in a burst of excitement.

With calm, consistent interactions and positive reinforcement, Veeran will slowly learn to feel safe and secure in your presence.Resource Guarding: Veeran has shown some resource guarding tendencies, which means he may become possessive of certain objects like toys, food, or even spaces.

We highly recommend that his new family be prepared to work on resource guarding through structured training, positive reinforcement, and clear boundaries. Our team is happy to provide guidance on how to best manage this behavior.Toy Destruction: While Veeran is playful and enjoys chewing on toys, it’s important to note that he has a tendency to destroy them quickly.

Meet Elvis – A Charming, Independent Coonhound Mix Looking for a Loving HomeIntroducing Elvis, a 2-year-old male Coonhound mix with a heart full of love and a personality all his own. Elvis may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he warms up, he reveals a sweet and loyal companion who is sure to bring joy to your life. This charming boy is independent, intelligent, and full of character, making him a unique addition to any home.Elvis is the kind of dog who knows how to entertain himself. His intelligence and independent streak mean he enjoys exploring his surroundings and finding ways to amuse himself. While his initial shyness might require some patience, those who take the time to build a bond with him will be rewarded with a devoted, affectionate companion who truly values connection once he’s comfortable.Training & Behavior Needs:Elvis is a smart dog who learns quickly, but he will need an experienced, patient owner to help him build confidence and teach him the structure and manners he needs. Here’s what you need to know about his training and behavioral needs:Timid at First: Elvis tends to be shy and reserved when meeting new people. He may take some time to warm up to strangers, but once he feels secure, he is a loyal and loving dog. His new family should be prepared for a gradual introduction and be patient as Elvis builds trust.Training Potential: Elvis is highly intelligent, which means he will learn quickly with positive reinforcement and consistent training. While he may need a little time to feel comfortable, his ability to grasp new concepts is a big advantage. He will thrive in an environment where he can engage in training that challenges his mind and provides structure.Prey Drive: As a Coonhound mix, Elvis has a high prey drive, which means he is naturally inclined to chase small animals. He may not be comfortable around other pets, particularly cats or small animals, so he is best suited for a home where he is the only pet. His new family should be aware of his prey drive and provide a secure environment where he is not exposed to situations where he might feel compelled to chase or hunt.Training Needs: Elvis may require some basic training to help with manners, leash walking, and socialization. He is a dog that thrives on routine, so providing consistent structure in his day-to-day activities will help him feel secure and make training more successful. El
