Story
Blu is Energetic and affectionate. He is 2 years old with a birthday of October 1. Our family rescued Blu at 8 weeks old and his breed is unknown but we do know he is a terrier mix. He has been crate trained as well and is allergic to chicken. Unfortunately, due to my current health conditions we are unable to continue to keep Blu in our home as it would be detrimental to my health. We are hoping he can find a home where he will be loved and preferably a home with no small children. He is up to date on all his vaccines and is neutered and microchipped.

My wife had Prince since he was a couple of months (he's now 12 years old). He's playful and has a lot of energy. The only reason why we want to rehome him is because we have 2 babies and it has become overwhelming for us.

Story
Her name is Nina she’s 3 years old. I got her from a shelter back in Miami when I lived there. She was 3 months old. I still have all of her original paperwork & shots. She’s curious, funny and calm. She does good with other female dogs and loves people as well as children. She’s very protective. Unfortunately I work in law enforcement now and my schedule is extremely busy with 12 hour shifts usually up to 6 days a week. so I don’t have time for her anymore. I’d love for her to go to a loving home who’s able to keep giving her the love she deserves.

Story
My name is Berlin and I one year old. I have the most beautiful masks and the most soulful baby blue eyes. I am soft, cuddly, and have the best smile. I am super dog-friendly and don’t have a mean bone in my body. I am gentle, and silly, with a great personality. I love to run Zoomies, play, cuddle, and simply hang out with my pack or my humans. I do not know how I am with cats but bring on all the doggos and we will have lots of fun. My favorite thing is to play every opportunity I get. I would love an active family that would take me on adventures. I would love to see the world with them. I am housebroken, neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Would you make me part of your family? I am neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

Story
Hi, I’m Jack and I’m a 7-year-old who’s sweeter than sweet. Have you ever seen a smile as wide as mine? And what about my flair for fashion? From a brightly patterned necktie to a boldly colored neckerchief, I ROCK them both! Happily at home in my foster home, I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time. Easygoing, eager to please, and eager to LOVE, I may not be huge on snuggling, but I am big on kissing. I give my foster parents the best kisses ever. And, the surprise of surprises, I’m good with cats after the proper introductions are made! Brimful of puppylike spirit and spunk, I love, love, love PLAYING. I get along famously with other playful dogs while learning all about boundaries at the same time. I also love going for walks, walking wonderfully on a leash, and taking rides in the car in search of the next great adventure. Currently honing those puppylike manners, such as staying off counters, I know that with practice, I’ll be paws-itively perfect. I also know that I’ll reward you, my future forever family, with a lifetime of loyalty, loving, and … kisses! I am housebroken, not crate-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of my shots.

Story
Hi!! I'm Max and I am the bestest boy!! I am around 2 years old and have the most beautiful baby blue eyes! I love cuddles, kisses, snuggles, and everything! You can take my toy, you can take my food, I don't care as long as you're human. Another doggo, I can be a little bit possessive of my things. I am good on a leash but be careful of small things as I just gotta chase them!!! Ducks, cats, squirrels, you name it, I'm gonna chase it so maybe a home with bigger dogs like me would be best. I am working on not counter-surfing, although the things I find I like to chew. Chewing is one of my favorite things!! I am housebroken. I am not a fan of the crate, microchipped, neutered, and up-to-date on my shots. I just need my forever home and I'll be set!!
