Welcome to the Adopt By Owner page. This page was created for uncertain circumstances faced by owners of all animals that are no longer able to care for their pets. This page is an option for people outside of surrendering pets to a shelter in their area that euthanizes. This also allows pets to be in an environment they are comfortable in.

Oliver is a fun loving 2 1/2 year old lab/pit/huskey/beagle mix.
He will thrive best in a home where he is the only dog, gets a walk every day, and can snuggle you endlessly. He is house trained, fixed, chipped, and up to date on all vaccines.
Ollie likes to show off his tricks such as sit, stay, rollover, heele, speak and more! He is very trainable and well on his way to being the best dog. He is almost out of the crazy puppy years, but still has playful energy. His light to tan color makes him look like the sweetest toasted bagel when he curls up to sleep. He has the most fabulous eyeliner look, that makes his gray eyes pop. He let's out little howls or chatters here and there and his long tail often curls back, showing off his husky side.
We are rehoming Oliver because in the last year he has stopped getting along with our senior dog. We don't know how Ollie does with small kids or cats. He does well on walks when he sees other dogs, but not in the close space inside of a house with other dogs. He has never shown any aggression towards people, and quickly becomes best friends with all he meets.
Oliver will come with a bed, training bed, food bowl, toys, leash, harness, collar, sweater, and a piece of our hearts.

MURPHY
Murphy is a good, loving, loyal 5 year old boy who is in need of a loving and calmer home. He loves to cuddle on the couch, play catch with a squeaky ball, go on walks, and play off-leash at the dog park. He is a wonderful dog that will be a great addition to a home with older or no kids. Murphy has a lot of energy and forgets his size at times (92 pounds). He loves going on walks, playing catch with his squeaky ball, and going to the dog park. Murphy also loves a calm, quiet night at home where he can cuddle on the couch with you. He loves gentle pets and getting his coat brushed while he lays outside in the sun.
Murphy doesn't love car rides, unless you have a sunroof. He lives his best life when he is able to put his head through the sunroof. While he doesn't give constant kisses, you know how happy he is and how much he loves you when he does give you a sweet little kiss. Murphy may take some time to warm up to everyone in the family. Patience is required to give him the space and time he needs to adjust, but once he does warm up, there will not be a dog that loves you more than him. A typical day for Murphy is waking up next to his favorite people, some leisurely outside time, breakfast, and a quick game of catch. He loves a game of catch the most when it's a squeaky ball or a snowball.
Murphy is able to be home alone if you work (100% potty trained) but will want attention when you come home. Any day Murphy can go on a walk, go to the dog park, or play outside, then it's a great day for Murphy. Murphy doesn't do great in the heat like any dog but is obsessed with the snow. Ironically, Murphy hates the rain and will avoid going outside in it at all costs.
Murphy would thrive in a home that does not have young children and is not stressful. While Murphy is a very loving dog, he is easily stressed out. Even play fighting, water balloon fights, etc. stress Murphy out since he is worried his family is being hurt and he doesn't know who or how to help. Murphy is great with older children that understand how to respect his space, use gentle hands while petting him, and can understand Murphy's size. Murphy does get overzealous at times while playing and forgets where your hands are. He is not being territorial or aggressive, but his new family needs to understand that when playing tug of war with him, he may not be aware where your fingers are.
Murphy successfully lives with two dogs (one large and one small) without any issues. I would recommend a slow introduction, just to be on the safe side. Murphy has completed professional training. He is 100% potty trained, knows his basic commands like sit, stay, down (his least favorite), come, and place. At times, Murphy does forget his commands if he is too excited or stressed. Murphy does know call and response but does not always adhere to it as well as he should. Murphy walks well on a leash if he is by himself, but if another dog is along, he will pull on the leash to be up front with the other dog. Murphy is not the alpha dog and wants to please his family but also wants to be in the front while walking. Murphy does struggle behaviorally when he is stressed out. Murphy has never bitten anyone, but has snipped on multiple occasions when people are yelling, doing loud activities like hammering a nail into the wall, etc. He has a strong sense to protect his family, and this leads him to snipping at people he deems a threat.
Murphy is also easily stressed out by young children who don't understand boundaries. It is imperative that his new home does not have young children.Overall, Murphy is the perfect partner in crime as long as the environment is right and deserves a forever home that will love him.

Domino is a very sweet, 50 pound energetic herding breed mutt that is about 6 years old. She loves people - adults and children, and she LOVES to run. One of her favorite things in the world is just cuddling up next to her favorite humans (which is anyone!), receiving love. She's great with basic training skills like sit, fetch, stay, leave it, and is very good with recall. She's never had any major issues with her health, aside from some issues with her teeth and minor bumps and bruises from romping around. We've been able to manage her teeth with greenies, teeth cleaning, and a solution which you can put into her drinking water.
While she is absolutely fantastic with people, she can be touch and go with other dogs. She was brought up extremely socialized with other dogs, but as she's gotten older, her behaviour around other dogs has become less and less predictable. Unfortunately, we've had issues between her and our other fur babies, and we simply feel like she may flourish to live her best life if she is in a single dog home. Please reach out to chelsea.park87@gmail.com if interested in learning more about Domino.
Hi! My name is Tony. I'm an 8-year old Maltese. I'm being fostered after my original owner passed away. I'm an active, happy little guy who loves toys and treats (especially turkey twists), and will follow you around the house to make sure you're okay.
My foster family has helped me with some medical issues that they suspect was due to neglect from my original owner--I needed a dental extraction due to my previous bad diet, and my back legs are a bit wonky. The vet says this is related to a spinal issue that may have been due to a fall or some past trauma. It means I'm unable to jump up on furniture, and the vet advised me to avoid stairs or long walks to avoid hurting my back (works for me--I love being held like a baby!). My foster family has been working on house-training me. It's been a slow process, so I've been wearing male wraps in the meantime. I'll do best with an owner who's able to keep an eye on my medical issues and make sure I get regular check-ups.
I can be reactive and barky around other animals, so I'd be best suited in a home where it's just me and my human. I also get cranky sometimes when I'm approached, particularly if I'm chewing on a toy/treat or if I'm at rest. It tends to happen more at nighttime--something makes me scared and aggressive, though I usually calm down after a few moments. At nighttime, it's best to let me come to you rather than approaching me. I have a lot of love to give though, and as long as my human is near me and I have a bed, some fresh water, and treats lying around, I'm the happiest guy in the world.

Hi! My name is Bean. I'm a 3-year-old German shepherd/Laborador mix. I'm being fostered because I got into a fight with my best friend, another girl dog. No one was seriously hurt, but my owner said she couldn't take the risk of us fighting again and hurting each other. I'm was really sad about it and so was everyone in my owner's family.
I'm an active, happy girl who loves toys and will play ball for hours. I will follow you around the house to make sure you're okay and sleep at the foot of your bed on my own dog bed. My foster mom calls me a "velcro" dog!
Even though I was born with two minor birth defects, a hump in my spine and a half-length tail, I have no issues with mobility and running around at top speed! I have even run UP a slide at a kid's playground and I am a whiz at catching balls—my previous owners were astonished at my agility and skill! I have been well taken care of my entire life: I have been spayed, vaccinated, given wellness visits and, and microchipped. My previous owners loved me very much and even made me homemade organic dog food!
I can be reactive and barky around other humans if I don't know them (I settle down pretty quickly) and I MUST have a home with no other female dogs! I love all people, though it takes me a minute to warm up. I have had a lot of fun playing with other dogs.
