Needs a kid who plays ball. Fetch is his most fun thing to do! Older guy, good with all other animals, livestock too! Hates thunderstorms and fireworks, so he will need to be inside during this, but likes being outside alot as well. He is housetrained, dont much like crates, but ok to do when mopping the floors if you add a good chew bone in there : ) Is a good porch pup! Barks only when a car drives up.

Story
Severly handicapped! birth defect due to backyard breeder. Front legs are both compromised. He can hobble across the floor to go out to potty, kinda like a kangaroo, and he can play in the grass which he loves, and with some toys as well. He is sweet. Very, but still young and wiggles, and wiggles and wiggles. He has a wheelchair but the flooring has to be just right for it or he will flip forward. We are hoping for prosthetics and have at least at this point made one contact. He has been featured on Nickelodeon. He walks like a kangaroo a bit and ties to jump up and give you attention but has no legs to hold himself onto you. He needs the PERFECT place, is your place that place? We require all families foster the first two weeks to be sure this sweet animal will fit in and be part of your family, otherwise we want him back, we love him. I know the adoption fee sounds high, but we have spent over twice that amount with two surgeries to get him this good, and wheelchair ready.

Story
owner surrender,This baby cried for months for his owner, it was the saddest dog ever....He orig lived indoors, reports say he kills birds. Wont share food sources. Nice dog, likes other little dogs but is food agressive when other animals are around. He came in very thin.....He is leash trained but should be only dog when food is out to be safe although he does best with the smaller dogs here. He really is a sweet dog. He was almost starved and kept on an apt balcony. Please consider this boy! He is also crate trained now, prefers outside but will come in to play and be crated to eat.

Story
Benny is so full of love and energy. He’s still very much a puppy, though he’s starting to calm down more and get better at settling without enforced naps. He’s eager to please, loves earning praise & pets, and is always up for playtime. He has no issues with resource guarding. He hates the car but does great with grooming & vet visits. He’s a bit of a velcro dog (loves to be with his people!), but he doesn’t have separation anxiety and he’s unfazed by even the worst thunderstorms. He’s not aggressive at all, but he has some very trainable general anxiety that mostly manifests as barking and a lack of confidence in new environments. In really high-arousal moments, he regresses back to jumping on people and mouthing them (putting his mouth around something but not applying any pressure). Benny needs an experienced and patient owner to help him navigate his big feelings. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or expertise to meet his needs anymore.

Story
Roxy is a very lovable dog. She is high energy and needs a family that has time to play with her and exercise her daily. Our lives have changed and the time we had we no longer have and it isn’t fair to her to have to stay locked up all day. She loves to run, jump chase squirrels or anything else that will run. She loves to cuddle. She does not like strangers at first but if you let her sniff them in about 30 seconds she is fine and will beg for affection. She plays well with other dogs all except herding dogs who like to nip and push her. (Border Collies) she is house broken and kennel trained.

Story
Owner died thank goodness. He was a farmer who tied this sweet boy in a field and just left him there. It does appear that he hit this dog too as the dog is so fearful around any man, still....He loves the ladies though! Gives good hugs and is playful. We have multiple species of animals here and he gets along with them all. He is now crate trained, house trained, leash trained, car ride trained, up to date of all his vetting and recently neutered too! He is about knee high and just the right size for a walking, jogging, friend too! Easy dog to care for and not super needy but very appreciative. Good for an older person too as he is quite gentle, unless he is just super happy to see ya.
