Story
This is Stubbs. He's about 4.5 months old. I found him on a two lane road and couldn't resist bringing him home. He's a great puppy. Very affectionate and gracious to have a safe place to live. He needs a forever home where he will be a beloved companion and be kept indoors to be part of of the family. He's house trained, crate trained, great with cats, and a rambunctious puppy. He's well behaved but still a puppy so he will need lots of love and care so he can be the best dog when he grows up. I don't want to part with him but life circumstances have other plans for us. If you're looking for a loving companion, please consider Stubbs. You won't regret it!

Story
Shiloh is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle and play outside. I found Shiloh in the woods two years ago at his worst. He was dumped and left for dead, he was skin and bones and had major skin issues. Over the last two years we have done our best to give him a good life. Regular vet visits for allergy shots and allergy meds and a special shampoo to help with skin issues. He is allergic to peanut butter! He loves older kids and he does like cats but cats don't like him. He has a love hate relationship with other dogs. He loves riding in the car and he is house trained. He knows how to sit, shake, lay down and roll over. He enjoys the outdoors. He is 100% a inside dog. He does have anxiety and i believe this stems from his previous owners using him as a fighting dog. He has many scars to prove that. He needs someone who can give him one on one attention.

Story
A friend found 6 abandoned puppies Oct 2021. Within 2 days she was diagnosed with parvo, she was treated just in time to save her. Kia is now 3 1/2 y.o. Kia loves to run & chase critters on our country property, especially squirrels. She is leash & crate trained, very loyal, and knows some commands. Stays Indoors at night, and part of days. She is a ONE pet Owner. Not very human socialized, since we dont have many guest. She hasn;t shown aggression towards humans but, barks at strangers. She is comfortable with our extended family with small children, after a brief reacquaintance period. Different neighbors have chickens, cats, cows & horses. Shes gotten over zealous in the chase and killed two younger cats, already. We are very concerned she will try to chase the cows or horses, too. Around here ranchers have a shoot first, when they feel their live stock is at risk. Therefore, we need to rehome her to a safer environment for herself & other animals.

Story
Harley is close to 3 years old. My husband and I adopted him from a family dog shelter when he was almost 8 months old. An ideal new home would be everything we are currently not able to be for him. This includes a home that is patient with him (especially when it comes to leash walks), has a big space for him to play around in, preferably with dog brothers and sisters, or will take him on daily walks.

Story
We got Scout as a puppy from a breeder in Texas 7 years ago. We have 2 toddlers and both work full time and just do not have the time to spend with her that she deserves. She is full of energy and loves going outside to catch frisbees, fetch, play in the water, and lay in the sun. We would like to see her go to a new home that has plenty of land for her to run around on and a family that has more time to spend with her. She is potty trained and is also very smart! We used to kennel her when we were not home, but we have not in a while as it seems to make her very anxious being in the kennel.

Story
Aspen is an energetic 10 month old Texas Heeler. I took her in when she was six weeks old in hopes of finding a forever home for her. Once I started caring for her and getting her vaccinated, I decided to keep her for a while. She is very playful and gets along very well with my six year old dog. She also plays well with other dogs. My home is small and I feel like she needs more space to run. I love her dearly and am looking for a home where she will continue to feel loved.
