Story

Kingsley’s journey hasn’t been easy—he was found malnourished and terrified, but with patience and love he has blossomed into a happy, affectionate, and resilient boy. After 5 months in foster care, Kingsley is showing his true colors: he loves to gallop around the backyard, snuggle close, and even puts his paws on you to say “I love you.” Bonus—he has the cutest little bowtie pattern on his chest that makes him look dressed up for every occasion! Sweet and affectionate—he loves attention, cuddles, and giving kisses. Once shy and shut down, he’s blossomed into a joyful, loving dog. He enjoys zooming around the yard and showing off his goofy side. Mostly house trained (still adjusting but has made great progress). Kingsley has lived with small dogs, but food sharing can be an issue—he wants all the food and attention to himself. Because of this, he’d likely do best as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the love without competition. He’ll need an adopter with patience.

Dixie is getting older and mostly likes to lounge around. She loves to play with her toys with her short bursts of energy then returns to laying around. She likes to lick bare feet then snuggle over top them. She's very smart but sometimes stubborn about baths. She can get a little aggressive about her food if another dog is nearby. She had a fur brother for 7 years before he passed and they played well together as long as they had separate food bowls. She is spayed.

Story

Meet Tilly! Tilly is an 11-month-old Lab/Pit mix with a sweet, affectionate personality and lots of enthusiasm for life. She is people-oriented, loving, and enjoys being part of a family. Tilly loves outdoor play, running, exploring, and keeping busy with chew toys and interactive play. She is still very much in her adolescent stage and has more energy than our household can realistically provide with four young children. Because of this, we are seeking a home where she can receive more one-on-one attention, daily exercise, and structure so she can truly thrive. Tilly is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. She is not aggressive and has a genuinely affectionate temperament—she simply needs an outlet for her energy and a consistent routine. Please reach out and tell us a bit about the home you could offer Tilly.

Story

Milo is a 4-year-old American Bully with a big heart and a gentle soul. He loves people, enjoys being close, and wants nothing more than a family to call his own. He is affectionate, loyal, and happiest when he’s getting attention or laying nearby like a shadow. Unfortunately, my young son has developed allergies, and it’s forcing me to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. Milo deserves a home where he can be comfortable, included, and loved without limitations. He isn’t being rehomed for behavior issues — this is strictly due to health circumstances. I’m looking for a responsible, stable home that understands bully breeds and will treat him like family. Milo will make someone an amazing companion. If you can give him a safe, loving, forever home, please reach out.

She’s well-mannered, loyal, and truly just wants to be loved and included.

Seanson 28271

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

💙 Meet Seanson 💙 Seanson is a 1-year-old, smaller sized mixed-breed boy who is searching for a calm, patient, and understanding home to finally call his own. This sweet soul is quite shy and timid when he first meets new people and environments, and he needs a family willing to give him the time and space he needs to feel safe. Once Seanson learns he can trust you, his gentle personality begins to shine. Seanson would do best in a quiet household where routines are predictable and love comes without pressure. He doesn’t seem to enjoy the company of larger dogs, but appears to be okay with smaller, respectful dogs. He would also thrive in a home with older children who can understand his need for space and allow him to move at his own pace. Seanson isn’t much of a playful pup — what he truly wants is a cozy, secure place where he can relax and feel protected.
