Story
Eddy is such a sweet little boy, we’ve had him since a puppy - about 2 years. It is with a heavy heart that I am typing this, but I think Eddy would be better in a home that has more time for him. He would do great on a farm as he likes to run or a big yard with a fence. He’s 95% potty trained but has been know to mark in the same two areas in our house since before we got him fixed, why he continues to is a mystery. He loves to cuddle and be sweet, he’s great with our 2 year old and other dog and cat and I’m confident he’ll be just as nice to our newborn. I just think he needs more one on one attention that we can’t give him right now. He’s very shy at first as I definitely think he has anxiety and he doesn’t love car rides that much as they upset his tummy. I’m looking for a home that can provide endless patience and love for our sweet boy.

Story
I am moving I love my dog very.much, unfortunately I can't keep her against rules. She is a loving dog who loves attention, a great guard dog as. She lives to play. She has somwhat food agression around other animal or kids. She good with older kids not young ones, I believe because this breed has anxiety. She also has seperation anxiety and likes to be close to owner. She is an inside dog and doesn't like the cold to often. She makes a great companion. She is short haired black with brindle. I'm hoping to find a good home that will take care of her needs.

Story
Meet Stars! Stars was an owner surrender, and though we can't imagine why anyone would give him up, we know someone will be counting their lucky stars when they open their home to him. Stars is 10 years old, and about 54 pounds of love, just waiting for his forever people to come along. Stars is a true diamond in the rough and will quickly win you over with his big smile and happy personality. Don't be fooled his age, this guy may be a "senior", but is proof that age is just a number. While overall a vary laid back guy, he still has plenty of pep in his step and will steal your heart with his adorable and silly toe tap dance greetings. Stars also enjoys exploring in the yard and would make great company during yard work or gardening. His previous owner may have surrendered him but he hasn't let that change his affectionate demeanor one bit. Stars would thrive in a home where he can finally be the center of someone's universe as he was meant to be from the start. His loving and contagious personality makes it clear he was born with a purpose- to give and receive love. Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Hey, hey, ladies and gents! I'm Buddy! They call me Fuzzy Buddy here since they've had a lot of other Buddys, but I dare say it was my name first! I've had it my whole life! I'm 8 years old and 64 pounds, and I like to think of myself as a great kind of guy, maybe a little derpy, but hey, I think it adds to my charm! I love people the most, and although I'm a bigger boy, I LOVE cuddling and snuggling and being a lap dog! Everyone always wants a doodle, but here are some things you need to know to make sure you are the perfect home for me: **I don't see well out of my right eye, and if you surprise me on that side it scares me! **I have been adopted and returned TWICE! I swear I'm a good boy, but it takes me a week or so to relax and feel safe, sometimes longer, and if I get scared I try REALLY hard to tell you, but if I'm really startled or you don't listen to me I may snap at you! I don't have words, so I gotta use what I got. I promise I'm not trying to be mean at all! In fact, my foster mom and dad are very confident, experienced, and know how to make me feel safe, and I have NEVER felt like I had to defend myself. Ever! **I need a home with humans that will work to understand me and help me feel secure. Oh! Little kids kinda scare me. I have PERFECT house manners, and you won't ever need to crate me when you go away. I get along with all dogs, and I currently live with 6 others, big AND small, and never have any problems! I like to have buddies to "show me the ropes." PLEASE CONSIDER MY SPECIAL NEEDS BEFORE APPLYING. I want a FOREVER home!
