Story
Hello, I am regrettably needing to rehome Kissie. I am retiring and moving into a retirement home which only allows 1 dog. I have another dog that is older, and I have had her longer. Miss Kissie history with me. I adopted her in 2021, and they estimated her age to be 1 or 2 years of age. So, guessing she is about 6 years old. Kissie gets along with my other dog. She does display a dominance behavior but not aggressive. She acts tough at first and then becomes like Velcro. Kissie does get onto the furniture and sleeps in bed with me. I have had a lazed home for my pets. I treat them like little children. Kissie tells you when she needs to go out by starring at you. She does bark if she sees something outdoors or hears a noise. Of which doesn't bother me. Guess because I know she is a dog. However, it's not obsessive. OH, because I work full time, I have not kenneled my dogs. I have used a washable potty pad for them to use while I am at work. Works great for me and them. I

Story
Meet Gravy! Gravy is a 40-pound bundle of love, a couple of years old, and the perfect mix of chill and playful. He’s had a rough start in life, but despite it all, he’s proven to be incredibly resilient and eager to learn. He’s been easy to train and already has great manners—kennel trained, potty trained, and leash trained—making him an easy addition to any home. This sweet boy has lived with cats, little dogs, and even toddlers, so he’s well-socialized and ready to fit right in. Gravy enjoys lounging on a soft bed (or better yet, a cozy couch!) and loves his stuffies just as much as his chew toys. With his medium energy level, he’s happy to go on a nice walk and then settle in for a relaxing nap by your side. After everything he’s been through, Gravy deserves a loving forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and appreciated. If you’re looking for a loyal, laid-back companion who’s ready to be your best friend, Gravy is your guy! Come give him the fresh start he’s been waiting for. The adoption fee is $400 and that includes a health certificate and transport to NE.
