Story
We have had these two girls since they were 7 weeks old. They are litter mates and a bonded pair having never been apart. They are 4 years old and each weigh @90 pounds. They are very friendly and love people. We are 72 and getting ready to move to a camper. This is not a good situation for these big girls. We are looking for someone to take both of them together as they love each other and would not survive apart.

Story
Juniper is a sweet, fun-loving playful girl! She is energetic and is looking for a family she can go on long walks with or a farm that can give her a job to keep her busy! She’s loves attention and loves a good belly rub! She needs to be in a home without chickens, as she thinks they are tasty treats.

Story
We got Jay from KC Pet Project a month ago. He was a stray so we are unsure what his past looked like. We think he was an outside dog due to not knowing any commands and he needs to use the restroom often. He now knows how to sit on command. He is definitely a people pleaser and wants to be pet and cuddled! We are looking to re-home him because of issues he has while we are away. We are gone for work a lot during the week and he will do better in a home with people there more often. When we are away for longer periods of time he tends to pee & poop in the house as well as chew on things. When left alone for short periods of time he does well. We have not crated him so we are unsure how he would do in a crate.

Story
I have to rehome my Foxhound Mix. He is approximately 60lbs and fully grown. Now 2 years old. He is a sweet boy who loves to run. He does great with kids, and cats and loves other dogs. Unfortunately, I am selling my house next month and need to find him a home ASAP. I cannot take him where I am going as they only allow 1 dog. My other dog is 12 years old and would be put to sleep if she were to be put up for adoption. He is house-trained, crate-trained, up-to-date on all shots, and neutered. Please be kind as this is already hard enough. Selling my home was not part of my plan but I can no longer afford it.

Story
We are looking to rehome our 3.5 year old cane corso due to changes in our family schedule and financial situation. He was purchased from Rock Creek Cane Corso. He is crate trained, and knows basic commands. He sleeps great and is non destructive. He can be left home alone without any worries. He does have the protective trait and high guardian tendencies so an experienced cane corso owner is required. He loves his pack but is picky with other people. He loves his people, very loyal, loves to be close to you, loves to play, run, but will also lounge around when needed. Our schedule requires us to travel a lot and he is too big to take with us. Paying for him to be kenneled when we travel is not affordable and asking people to house sit him that he doesn't know is also not an option due to his guardian nature. Extremely loyal and trainable for those that could afford training and have the time to invest in him. Will make an absolutely amazing pet for the right owner and family.
