Story
We were recently gifted a 3 month old female Golden Lab puppy named Sif. She was a well intended gift but because of her age and breed, she needs MUCH love and attention. Because of the different work and sleep schedules of us living here, we have made the difficult decision to find Sif a new home. One that can show her the love and attention she truly needs and deserves for her life-to-come. We're not sure if she has had her shots, and we know that she is not spaid and she is NOT house-trained. As mentioned above, she needs LOTS of attention. Sif is an incredibly sweet dog and has SO MUCH energy! We do have a very low-maintenance cat, and Sif has had no problems with him. Ultimately, we want Sif to have the best, happiest life she can, and we have concluded that, in the long run, that just can not happen here, with us.

Story
Marie is a sweet, purebred black Labrador Retriever and a good family dog. She plays well with children and has always behaved well with other dogs. She is just over a year old and has her AKC paperwork from the breeder if you would like to register her. She is not spayed, and we had intended her to be the start of generations of family dogs. Marie is on the smaller side for a full-sized lab, despite having an appetite, but well-proportioned. She still has puppy energy, but is trained to sit and listens well. She is from Alaska, where we were stationed in the military. The breeder and another family who watched her for a few months during the move used doggy doors, which is common there, and she learned to go outside whenever the spirit moved her. Unfortunately, when she does not have that ability, she tends to poop in the house. We are looking for someone with the space and home layout to provide her more freedom than we are able.

Story
Weight: 33Lbs Meet Gus — a golden retriever pup with a tender heart and a story that deserves a softer ending. He arrived in early August 2025 from Kokomo Humane Society, hopeful and ready to belong, but after being adopted, Gus was trained with a shock collar. Instead of learning confidence, he learned fear. For a sensitive soul like Gus, that kind of training can make the world feel unpredictable and unsafe, and he’s still unlearning those lessons at his own pace. Gus needs stability, patience, and positive reinforcement only — gentle guidance is where he shines. He does resource guard, so in a home with other animals he’ll need to eat separately, and it’s important that kids don’t grab at his food or toys. These simple boundaries help Gus relax and feel secure. Now for the good stuff: when food isn’t in the picture and once he knows you’re safe, Gus transforms into the sweetest, goofiest golden boy. He’s playful, affectionate, and a little treat-motivated (okay, maybe more than a little), which makes training a fun bonding adventure. Gus isn’t asking for perfection — just someone willing to go slow, laugh with him, and show him that love doesn’t hurt. 💛 Dogs: Please bring any pups in to meet him, and keep the resource guarding in mind!! Cats: Unknown Kids: Please bring the whole family in to meet him, and keep the resource guarding in mind!!

Story
Hi! My name`s Cash!MY ADOPTION FEE HAS BEEN SPONSOREDI currently tip the scales at 137.6 pounds, but baby, let’s get physical! I’m ready to start my weight-loss journey and I’m looking for a supportive family who’s willing to help me move, groove, and shed a few pounds along the way. Believe it or not, I wasn’t always this size! While I may not get back to the weight of my youth, with love, routine, and encouragement, I know I can get to a place where I’m feeling healthier and more comfortable.I’m a big love bug with an even bigger heart, and I can’t wait to ring in the new year with my perfect family. Think leisurely walks, gentle exercise, and lots of praise—because when you cheer me on, theres nothing I can not do. I would prefer to be an only dog because I can be a bit selective with my friends, but be sure to bring in any current dogs in the home and the wonderful staff will help with the introduction!See you soon!
