Story
Tara is the best dog I’ve ever had. She’s incredibly calm, affectionate, and loves to cuddle. She truly enjoys being around people and is happiest just spending time with anyone who gives her love. Unfortunately, I’m moving, and my new landlord changed the pet policy after I sold my house. As much as it breaks my heart, I’m looking for a loving home where Tara can continue to thrive and be the sweet, social dog she is. She deserves a family who will cherish her as much as I do.

Story
Updated 2.13.25 Meet Glenn – A Sweet, Energetic, and Loyal Rescue Dog Glenn was found wandering the streets of Ohio with his best friend, Gary, and the two have been inseparable ever since. After their stray hold ended with no one coming to claim them, Glenn received the necessary care from the shelter, including vaccinations and neutering. When it was time to travel, Glenn and Gary made their way to their new foster home in Minnesota, where they’ve been ever since. Personality Glenn is the definition of sweetness, with endless wiggles, kisses, and a heart full of love. He arrived at his foster home with a desire to be held, petted, and adored. Glenn is very affectionate and thrives on human interaction, always seeking attention from everyone he meets, regardless of age or appearance. He’s equally gentle around children and is particularly attentive to adults, often trying to stand on his hind legs for more love. He has a special bond with his foster dad, eagerly waiting for him to come back if he leaves, and sometimes even cradling himself like a baby when resting on him. Energy and Interests This active boy loves his walks and gets excited as soon as he sees the leash come out. He’s still perfecting his leash manners, as there’s so much to explore! Glenn is particularly fond of sniffing around and tends to compete with his best bud, Gary, to sniff the best smells. He does have a bit of a prey drive and gets excited when he spots a squirrel or bunny but can be redirected with some patience. Glenn’s curiosity also extends to watching people, dogs, and children from windows without any negative reactions—just a curious whine or whimper. Training and Behavior Glenn is a quick learner and already knows to sit for his food and happily goes to his kennel at bedtime for a treat. He’s treat-motivated and eager to please, making him a delight to work with. He’s had no accidents in the house, can hold it through the night, and is crate-trained. Glenn enjoys puzzle toys like a Snuffle Mat and a peanut butter Kong, though he hasn’t shown much interest in typical dog toys yet. He’s very well-mannered and behaves wonderfully in public places like the local store, showing no fear of crowds or automatic doors. Special Bond with Gary It’s impossible to talk about Glenn without mentioning his devotion to Gary. Glenn is deeply bonded with his best friend, who is deaf. He looks out for Gary, acting as his ears, and the two share an incredibly strong, emotional connection. Whether curled up together or resting their heads on each other, they are always close by. Glenn gets anxious when they’re separated, but his loyalty to Gary never wavers. They are truly a pair that needs to stay together. Health & Care When Glenn first arrived, he was underweight and needed to gain some pounds. He’s done great with his nutrition and now looks healthier, though he’s still got some energy to burn! Glenn also seemed to get cold on walks as the temperature dropped, so he’s more than happy to wear a sweater or coat—red is his favorite color! Final Thoughts Glenn is an absolute joy to have around. He’s loving, social, and eager to please, with a heart as big as his personality. This sweet boy is looking for a family who will embrace his affectionate nature and, most importantly, accept his best friend, Gary, as part of the family too. Glenn is a remarkable dog who will bring joy and love into any home that’s lucky enough to have him—and his buddy Gary—by their side.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 24, 2025, 10:41 am

My brother, Glenn, and I are unclaimed strays looking for a new home. I'm pretty happy and love cuddles. I don't mind other dogs, but I prefer they're not crazy in my face. Glenn acts as my ears, so I look to him for guidance. I keep my kennel very tidy. I'm getting better each day on the leash. I tested positive for Heartworm and have begun treatment. I'll be as good as new in no time!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 4, 2025, 3:28 pm

Story
Luna is a sweet energetic dog with lots of love to give. We rescued her and her sister when they were 6 weeks old, under a bar on a beach in the Virgin Islands! She currently lives with her sister and another 10 year old rescue which she loves. She is very timid of new people and other dogs. She is great with the dogs she lives with but can show aggression to dogs she does not know. Unfortunately, we never planned to keep her and her sister this long, but we had to get them off island to give them a chance. She will be 2 on April Fools day. I think her behavior will get better if she is separated from her litter mate. She needs to have more room than what we can give her and more training than we have time for. We have an infant son whom she loves and is great with! I will miss her sweet hugs and kisses; she loves a good cuddle.

Story
Rhea is a sweet and loyal dog. We rescued her and her sister when she was about 6 weeks old on a beach in the Virgin Islands. We never planned to keep her this long but had to get her to the states to find her a better home. She can be timid around new people. She is slow to warm up to new dogs but then playful once she gets comfortable. She is great with our infant son. She needs to be separated from her litter mate. I feel her behavior will greatly improve once separated. She knows general commands and walks to heel on leash. She is very eager to please! Unfortunately, we do not have the space for her to be the happy dog she deserves or the time to give her the training she needs!

Story
Update 2.13.25 Rocky is a 4.5-year-old neutered male boxer who was surrendered to us on February 1st after spending his entire life with his previous owners. Rocky was raised as a puppy alongside an older boxer and two small children, but unfortunately, he hasn’t had much exposure to other dogs in recent years. He’s protective of his home and family, so he’ll need some time and training to adjust to new people and dogs. Rocky is a curious and energetic boxer who loves to play, especially when it involves exploring the world around him! He’s great on a leash, crate-trained, and listens well to commands. He’s an affectionate and loyal dog with a big heart, but he can be cautious with strangers and is known to be wary of delivery people. If you're an adopter, you'll need to work with Rocky to help him adjust to new faces and experiences—he just needs a little extra time and patience to feel secure. As for other animals, Rocky seems to have a strong prey drive, with birds, rabbits, squirrels, and possibly even cats triggering his attention. His ideal home will likely not include small animals or cats, as he’s not comfortable with them. Rocky is currently being fostered by a couple who work from home, so he hasn’t been left alone for extended periods yet. His previous owners shared that Rocky is a skilled escape artist when left in his crate, so this will need to be addressed in his new home. We also haven’t had the chance to fully evaluate how he interacts with other dogs. If you’re looking for a protective, playful companion and are willing to put in the time to help Rocky adjust to new people, he may just be the perfect fit for your home. He has so much potential and love to give, and we know he’ll thrive in a patient, understanding family.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 13, 2025, 6:19 pm
