Story
Sam is a 10yr old apbt. He is deaf, he has been since birth. He is great with children, and takes treats gently. He has food agression towards other animals, but not people. This is why he should be the only animal. Sam is my mother's dog and she had a stroke and can no longer provide him the care he needs. Sam is a good boy, and I'm scared that I can't find help the only other option would be euthanasia. Thank you for your time.

Story
Trouble is a good dog. She was from a litter from our dog we had. We would like to keep her but my husband lost his job and we cant afford to get her fixed or shots at this point. It would be better to find her a new home. She can sit when instructed and take a treat from my mouth or my grandkids mouth being very gentle. I believe she would be very easy to train if someone took the time to do so.

Story
Kosmo knows basic commands: sit, lay down, shake, speak, circle, and stay... stay when he wants anyways. I took him him to keep him from being brought to a pound. However owners lied about his breed. He is very active and needs lots of room to run. He would love to hunt. I cannot keep him because he gets out of our yard and goes into our neighbors that has free range chicken and ducks. He is a high jumper. House trained and great with other dogs. I can pay for him to be neutered.

Story
"Brownie - The Sweetest Treat You'll Ever Meet!" Hey there, fur-friends! My name is Brownie and I'm a 1.5-year-old boy searching for my forever home. I may be a mix breed, but my handsome looks and solid build are sure to turn heads. Sadly, I was adopted out when I was just 6 months old, but returned through no fault of my own. But hey, let's not dwell on the past, because I'm ready to move on and make new memories with a loving family! I've been described as a social butterfly and I definitely live up to that reputation. I'll charm you with my friendly and happy personality and I promise to always be loyal and playful. So if you're an active family who enjoys privacy and has a fenced yard for me to run around in, then we're a perfect match! I love being active and playing, so be prepared to give me plenty of exercise and attention. If you think we could be a good match, let's meet and see if we click! Trust me, you won't regret adding a fun-loving and affectionate dog like myself to your family. So what are you waiting for? Come on over and let's become best buds! See you soon, with lots of tail wags and kisses, Brownie.

Story
Meet Bo: The Golden Mix Master of Fun! Hey there, potential forever family! My name is Bo and I am a 5-year-old male dog, currently in search of a new home. You see, I was found as a stray, but don't let that fool you. I may have been wandering the streets, but I am ready to settle down and be your loyal companion! Let's talk appearance first. People often comment on my striking good looks, and I must admit, I do have a certain charm about me. I am a Golden mix, but I like to think I'm one of a kind. My coat is soft and fluffy, perfect for cuddles. Now, onto the important stuff: my personality. I've been called an alpha, but really, I just know what I want and go after it. I may be independent, but I am also a constant companion. Whether you're lounging on the couch or going on a hike, I'll be by your side, ready for some fun. Speaking of fun, let's talk activity level. I am a ball of energy, always ready to play and explore. I hope you have a backyard for me to run around in, or maybe we can take long walks together. I promise to keep you on your toes and make life more exciting! I must mention, I am a bit selective when it comes to other dogs. I prefer to be the only furry friend in the household, but I am more than enough to keep you entertained, I promise. So, what do you say? Ready to bring some love and laughter into your life? Come meet me and let's see if we're a match made in doggy heaven. I can't wait to find my forever home and show you all the love and happiness I have to offer. See you soon!
