Story
Rigsby is a cross between a Retriever and a Labrador Retriever. He looks like a black retriever. We rescued Rigsby at 3 months old, and fell in love with him immediately. He came directly up to us and raised his little paw for us to shake. Like saying hello, will you love me. We did. Rigsby is will be 8 years old this April, and he has been nothing but the sweetest, most gentle giant (yes, he's roughly 100 lbs) anyone could ever imagine. A few years ago, we found out Rigsby had diabetes. We had been managing his diabetes with Novalin-N insulin from Walmart for $24.88 a month. He is intelligent, obeys commands, and loves being loved. He is the best friend ever. He needs a home that can give him love, a place to run, a place to feel safe, and people who will hug him, pet him, brush him, and hold is ever offered paw. I swear, he will win your heart and will be your gentle giant. He only wants to give love and be loved in return.

Story
Dexter is a very friendly loving pup! He just had a birthday November 23rd, he turned 1! I would love to keep him but unfortunately my work load has doubled and Dexter is in his kennel more than not these day. Causing him to have more energy and being too rough with the kids. Dexter needs lots of attention and a place to burn off his energy. He loves people and other dogs. He enjoys going to the dog park and loves car rides! I got Dexter about 8 months ago and he’s been great up until the last couple months when I’ve had to work more and now has no place to let his energy out and I don’t have the time. I have 2 boys and he’s good with them just the last couple months playing to rough from him being kenneled all day. I would love to see him go to a loving home that has the time for him.

Riley is a year and a half. He is a very affectionate little boy. Unfortunately with all of the dogs I have, which is currently 5, all family, brother, sister and Their parents. Riley needs a home where he will shown attention and love, he needs somebody, or a family to show him love. He's such a bright dog and I just want him to live the best life possible

Story
This is a super sweet, smart, one owner dog from 8 weeks! She had been great with our family. And until the last 6 mo she had no issues. She got out of our house and the electric collar battery must have been defective (it was recently replaced) and she bit a dog that was being walked in our neighborhood!! She then got out while we were moving and bit a second dog but didn’t hurt the second one. We were told by the city we could not keep her😢 She is now in a small shed at my dads house and gets let out to run twice per day and it is heated! Idk what else to do he does not even want her here cause he has a problem elderly dog here but we did not want her to be put down at a kill shelter😢 Since she came here she had seen the other dogs and no growling or barking! She wagged her tail and whined! Also FYI she DOES NOT BARK ever!!! So if that is annoying to some or you live in a neighborhood she never ever barks!
