All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.

Imagine that you wake up one morning, and the person you love most in the world hugs your neck, waves a tearful good-bye, gets into a car and disappears down the road. You worry because something in her voice was different this time, not like when she would drive to the grocery store only to return a couple of hours later with a bag of food for you.

This time, a lot of hours pass, and she doesn’t come back. Someone you don’t know very well comes to the house to feed you dinner. They say words you don’t understand the meaning of – nursing home, no other choice.

A day passes, and that same person comes back. Only this time, he puts you in the back of his car and drives you to a place you’ve never been to before.

He gets you out of the car. A nice lady walks up and tells him that older dogs don’t have a very good chance of getting adopted here. You wonder what adopted is. You hear the man tell the nice lady that his sister went to a nursing home and you belonged to her. He can’t take care of you. The nice lady looks sad.

The man gets in the car without you and drives off.

Another person you don’t know comes out and leads you to what looks like a cage with a concrete floor. She puts you inside and closes the door.

There are a lot of dogs here, most of them younger than you. You’re 10 – 70 in people years. Some of the dogs are barking. You hear the anxiousness in their barks, and you start to shake. You wonder why the person you love went away, and what you did wrong to be left here.

Bitts is a sweet, settled dog with a loving personality. With his person in a nursing home, he no longer has a place to call home. He would love to live out the rest of his live, loved and safe. If you have ever had the love of an older dog, you know the meaning of true devotion and gratitude. Please be there for Hoy. He will enrich your life in ways unimaginable.
