3. There may not be buffalo on these ranges, but at least the skies won't be cloudy all day. This list of five homes has a little something for everyone.

5. These purring, tail-wagging critters are all looking for a home. Could that home be yours? Radar the dog has ears big enough to hear a pin drop a mile away.
