Meet Rouge, a handsome and social middle-aged German Shepherd who loves human company and will happily trot right up to solicit all the pets he can get! 🐕✨ He is a spirited boy who can get a bit jumpy and mouthy when excited, but he is incredibly food-motivated and easily redirected with a tasty treat or a simple verbal cue. Just keep an open palm handy, as this enthusiastic learner can be a little "chompy" when taking his snacks! ðŸĶī😋 Because Rouge has a strong prey drive, he needs a home with no cats or small dogs, and he can be selective with other canines. ðŸū Additionally, due to some resource-guarding behaviors, any children in his forever home must be over 12 years old. If you're an experienced handler looking for a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate partner, Rouge is ready to steal your heart! 💖

Diamond is a sweet, female Mastiff looking for her forever home! This gorgeous girl is social, likes her human friends, and has a special place in her heart (and stomach!) for tasty treats - though not too many! She enjoys the finer things in life, like belly rubs, comfy beds, and leisurely strolls. But she can definitely get the zoomies now and then, so Diamond's dream home would have a large fenced yard where she can safely romp and play. 
Diamond still has a lot to learn, so she requires someone who is willing to put in some time to train her. Previous experience with Mastiffs or giant breeds is a bonus, as they have unique needs and quirks. If you think you could be the perfect match for gal, stop by and meet her today! 💕

Just judging from his photos...Casper probably is a *Shedder*  but if he is, then he will only need regular brushing to keep his coat looking good and wouldn't need Professional grooming every 6 weeks.

  Hi there! My name is Barry, and I’m an 8-year-old, 90-pound Labradoodle with a big heart, a playful spirit, and plenty of love to give! If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who enjoys both outdoor adventures and a good snuggle, I might be your guy!

I’ve spent my whole life with my family, growing up alongside children and other dogs. I love people of all ages, although sometimes I get a little excited when saying hello! I’m generally friendly with other dogs, though I can occasionally be a bit indifferent to them. I haven’t met any cats, so I’m not sure what I think about those little creatures.

Don’t let my age fool you! I still love running around, playing fetch, and exploring. I’m also a big fan of hugs and snuggling. I know several commands, including sit, lay down, come, and even sit pretty! I’m food motivated, which could make learning new things together a lot of fun.

For the past several years, I’ve spent most of my time outdoors in a fenced yard and slept in a kennel in the garage. I was housetrained as a youngster, but since I haven’t lived indoors for a while, I may need a refresher. I’m crate trained, ride nicely in the car (although I get pretty excited!), and could use some practice walking politely on a leash.

My family loves me very much, but unfortunately, my shedding causes allergies in our household. They want me to find a wonderful home where I can be fully embraced for the big, lovable guy I am.

My dream family would appreciate a large, affectionate dog, give me room to run, and help me enjoy more walks and adventures. I’m not a fan of thunderstorms or fireworks, so a little reassurance during loud noises would mean a lot.

I’ve got so much love left to give. Could you be my next best friend?

Hi, I’m Sky! I’m a sweet senior 5 lb. Maltese girl looking for a new home together with my sister, Zuky. 

Hi, I’m Zuky! I’m a 13-year-old Maltese girl weighing about 8 pounds, and I’m looking for a loving home along with my sister, Sky. 

We are sisters from the same parents but different litters, and we’ve spent our lives side by side. After all those years together, we’re a bonded pair, and our family would love to find someone with enough room in their heart and home for both of us.

I’ve been with my family since I was just 8 weeks old, so needing a new home is a big change. My family’s grandbaby has developed allergies to dogs and cats, which is the only reason they’re looking for a new home for us. We’ve been loved our entire lives, and they want to make sure we find a family who will continue to give us that same love and care. I am having my teeth cleaned on 10/12 and they are in bad shape so I will likely loose quite a few but will have that behind me when you take me home!!

I’m a chill girl who can be a little shy, but I’m friendly with people. I’ve lived with other dogs, cats, and young children and have done well with all of them. I’m friendly with other animals and gentle and relaxed around children.

I’m housetrained, crate trained, and leash trained. I walk nicely on a loose leash and am a good passenger in the car, too. I even know a couple of tricks—ask me to sit or give you my paw! I’m still able to climb stairs on my own and enjoy getting out for walks and going to the dog park with Zuky.

I’m looking for a home with a fenced yard and people who will make me feel safe, comfortable, and loved during my senior years. Most of all, I’d love to continue sharing those years with Zuky. We’ve spent our lives together, and getting to stay together in our new home would mean the world to us.
