Story
Currently going through a divorce/moving. Kai is an amazing dog we had him since he was 10 weeks old, he is so sweet with people and kids. He is a big boy and he is only a year and a half, we love him so much but the current circumstances do not allow us to keep him. He is a happy go lucky dog, friendly, he is a little rambunctious but I feel he just needs the extra attention. He loves to cuddle and he loves going to the groomers. I definitely feel he would do well with someone who loves large breed dogs and has experience with them. He was living in a house with two other dogs and he loved laying with them and playing with them. I just hope he can make someone else really happy like he made us.

Story
A family friend rescued Bruno from a hoome where he had been mistreated as a puppy back in August of 2023. She was unable to keep Bruno where she was staying so we offered to watch him until she found an apartment of her own. Thankfully, our friend has settled into a new apartment but they do not allow pets over 20 pounds (Bruno is approximately 40 lbs). We have an 8 year old Yorkshire Terrier who does not share the same energy level as Bruno and they are getting on each others nerves. We love Bruno and want him to have a good home where he will be loved and taken care of. No adoption fee is required. If Bruno is a good fit for you and your loved ones, he will come with a 48x30x32 inch crate, food bowl/stand, food bin, leash, and treats. Thank you!

Trying to find a home for this cute girl. She’s very sweet and playful and loves to cuddle. She needs a loving home and will love you in return. Shes crate trained and will go to her bed and also Shes had an initial pet visit- got her first shots and is in good health. This was my brothers dog and he has kids with allergies so couldn’t keep her. She loves treats and tug of war too. She’s great with other dogs . My younger dog loves to play with her. She also does very well with my 2nd grade child.

Zelda is a 12-week-old Bahamian Potcake puppy looking for her forever home!

She is quickly becoming a potty-training pro! She is adjusting well to life away from the island, and loves to explore all the new sights and smells! She didn't even bat an eyelash at the fireworks this past weekend! She is microchipped, current on shots, & has been dewormed. She is adjusting well to life away from the island, and loves to explore all the new sights and smells! Her adoption fee covers her microchip, basic vet care to date & her travel from Nassau to Chicago!

Story
Hazel is a very sweet, but very lazy dog. She really needs someone that can just spend time with her and give her the training an socialization that we are unable to give her. We adopted her from a rescue that pulled her from a kill shelter when she was 3 months old. She was so much fun, but never grew out of the sleepy, lazy puppy stage. We have had her for 6 years and have had three children in that time. She does ok with the kids, especially the really young ones that cant move. Our older two are toddlers that are fairly unpredictable and so she gets stressed when she is around them. She is very dominant toward other dogs, and has had some dog aggression in the past, but she also has not really been socialized so with some training I think she will do fine. She does well walking on a leash. We did train her on a pinch collar and she does very well on that. She loves people, and she doesnt run away. She wants to be where the people are.

Story
Duke has been with me since he was 6 months. He turned 4 on May 3rd. The biggest love bug a dog could be. Maintains an average weight of 59-62 pounds. Never barks obnoxiously at other animals or people, just the occasional talk back while playing. Enjoys walks and car rides, the snow, beaches and especially swimming. Like typical huskies, he's an escape artist at heart because he loves to explore. With us, anytime he'd slip away, he'd lead us on a chase and wouldn't come back until he found someone he'd never met and get caught while saying hi. VERY protective during my pregnancy, always staying by my side and becoming jealous when the hubs would show affection. Absolutely loves children, forgets that they're small but is very gentle. With my son being a menace, Duke has learned not to be food aggressive with people, not sure about other animals yet but he learns well. Ideally a fenced yard and a buddy would be perfect for him but a family to love him as much as I do, would suffice.
