Story
Buster is a sweet, 3-year-old mixed breed dog with the heart of a cuddle bug and the energy of a German Shepherd. He’s a wonderful mix of American Pit Bull Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, Husky, German Shepherd, and Lab, giving him a unique and lovable personality. I adopted Buster from a shelter, and he’s been such a joy. However, due to my busy work schedule and life changes, I can no longer give him the attention he truly deserves. He’s looking for a new home with people who can provide him with the love, playtime, and exercise he needs to thrive. What Buster Needs: 1. A fenced backyard to run and play in 2.Active owners who will take him on walks and play with him regularly 3.A single-pet home (he’s happiest when he’s the only dog) 4.Someone who can continue working on his kennel training at night Buster is a very special boy with a lot of love and energy to share. He’s ready for his forever home with people who can match his active lifestyle and shower him with affection.

Story
Dallas is a good dog, however he isn’t a good fit for my home due to not having another dog companion- he likes to have play buddies and due to him not having one, he has an excess of energy and will try to play with me. He works wonderfully with other dogs from what I’ve seen, we go to the dog park regularly and he has not once gotten into a single fight.

Story
Lulabelle is approximately 10 years old. She does not do well with other female dogs. There have not been any problems with male dogs. She does chase cats. She lived with me for five years, then went to live with my mother because of issues with another female dog in our home. She has been with my mother for five years. She now needs a new home because they recently moved to a home where there is another female dog, and she is not interacting well with her. She does not enjoy being held, but loves to snuggle up next to you or lie in your lap. I will be picking her up from my mother's home this weekend, and she will be available for adoption beginning Saturday, April 12.

Story
Rehoming Our Beloved Australian Shepherd - Mac Meet Mac, our sweet 2-year-old male Australian Shepherd. Mac is a wonderful dog who’s up-to-date on all his shots, crate trained, and fully potty trained. He’s friendly with other dogs, loves people, and is always ready for cuddles. Mac has a playful spirit and enjoys his walks, swimming sessions, and spending time outdoors, but he’s just as happy relaxing inside with his favorite humans. He’s also great on car rides and does well on a leash, making him the perfect companion for adventures or everyday strolls. We are heartbroken to make this decision, but due to our recent move to a larger city, we are unable to keep him at our new apartment complex. Please know this choice has nothing to do with Mac’s behavior — he’s a fantastic dog and deserves a home that can offer him the space and love he needs. If you’re interested in providing Mac with a loving home, we’d be happy to discuss more details and answer any questions.

Story
Neska is the sweetest girl and great with all three of my kids. I have another Great Pyrenees and sadly these two just don’t get along. I keep them separated, but it’s not fair to Nessie to not be included with the rest of the family. She would make an excellent addition to a family with no other pets
