Story
Rekkr is a purebred Norwegian Elkhound. He is very protective of the family that he is with and is also good with children and will play. He is cautious of other people and dogs (all bark, no bite) he simply needs more social skills with other dogs. Whenever he needs to go outside to use the bathroom, he will start spinning in circles to let you know. He is not picky when it comes to his food or water. He loves going for walks but is very alert at all times. Rekkr will make a great addition to a family, but patience is needed to further his training needs and activity needs (hikes, walks, fetch, training) Rekkr is an Old Norse/Scandinavian name meaning Warrior Man or Warrior

Story
Hello, My name is Momo! I was born on 02/05/2024 so I am currently 4months old. I’m looking for a new home where I’m the only pet - I’m okay with other dogs but still learning about boundaries. I’m potty trained outside and inside. I am a high energy dog so I love walks 🙂 I got all my puppy shots but did not get spayed yet. If someone is willing to train and be patient with me because I am scared of men. I am very loving and cuddly - I also want to be near you.

Story
Pua joined our family last year. She is 7.6 lb and 5 yo girl. She is very shy at first but become your friend soon after and very adorable girl. She is a little bit timid outside and wouldn’t walk a little while. Carrying her a short distance then soon after she started walking when she feels comfortable. She is very active at home and loves playing with her toys. Pua never bite any other people. She loves people and needs lots of attention. She loves to be pet and shows her belly. She is a very good company and well behaved when we go to cafe or shops. She loves driving and looks happy in the car. Pua has been good with other pet (senior dog) for about first 6 months. However she started sometimes aggressive to senior dog. She wants to get all attention on her. Pua does not good with other dogs. But she doesn’t bark at another dogs when she sees on the street. I am very very sad to make a decision to rehome her because she deserves to be a queen of the family.

Story
This is one of the HARDEST decisions I have ever made in my life. My boys name is ENZO he’s a American Bully Standard. He is about to be 6 years old in January. He had been my best friend since I got him as a puppy in Washington State. He is 100 Pure Breed, Registered with UKC but I lost his papers when I moved to the island a while back so I have no paperwork. He is a BIG BABY and a sweet boy, he does get very excited when people come over and forgets how big he is but after a few minutes he calms down and gos back to normal. I really don’t want to even upload this but I am leaving the island in August and as a Single guy in the military I’m afraid that I’m not giving him the amount of attention he needs and I have to think about his needs aside from my own.
