Kobi is the sweetest dog you will meet! He loves to play and loves kids. We have a 19 month baby girl and she is his best friend. Kobi is 17 months and still a puppy at heart, he a pure bread XL Bully with a strong bloodline. We are looking for a loving home for him, because of our busy schedules, we can't afford to board him every time we go out of town anymore.

Story
Mooka was a street pup until 9 months old and we've had her since February. We telework so she usually roams the house but when left alone she sleeps and chews toys. She wiggles, wags her tail and sometimes jumps on people when meeting a new person (we're working on getting her to not jump). At her old home she interacted with the cat and it was perfectly fine. For commands, she knows "here!" and "sit." She can be found napping, snuggling, or playing fetch with her toys. She is great with our toddler. Vet says she has a torn ACL so we are limiting exercise right now to shorter than five minutes walk on a leash and no running around in the yard unfortunately. Vet recommended surgery but she doesn't limp unless we walk her for more than 15 min. It's unclear how to proceed, plus I just diagnosed with a health condition that makes it harder to care for her. We hope to find Mookie a home with the care she deserves.

Story
Misha was a shelter dog at the MD SPCA. She turns 4 years this November. She is an incredibly sweet and affectionate dog. She loves going for walks and is very food/treat motivated. Otherwise she loves taking long naps and finding weird places to lay around. She has a strong prey drive towards small animals. She is incredibly strong and fast so I would recommend walking tools like easy-walk or gentle leader. She sheds a lot and needs proper and regular grooming to maintain. She is also an escape artist and will try to escape given the opportunity. Loves water and swimming. She is hovering around 62lbs and eats about 3 Cups of kibble/day. Looking for a home that has a yard or other animals for her to socialize with. Needs a fair amount of activity.

Story
We have had Zak for almost 7 years and he's been the best pup. I have recently run into some medical issues that have caused me to develop some extreme allergies to things I was never allergic to before. Zak is house trained and loves to cuddle. He is the best pup but this has become a medical nightmare for me. We want to find Zak the loving home he deserves! We are going to miss him so much! It took us 2 years to get to this point. This is very difficult for my family. Please be patient with us. Medical Items: Zak has developed a slight skin allergy which we have corrected with food adjustments. He was also born with cherry eye which usually is never an issue until hes been outside too much. In that case we use some drops weekly for him. The drops are about $12 and a bottle can last him up to about 3 months. Other than that he's healthy and up to date on all shots.

Story
I got her from my daughter’s boss we were supposed to watch her while he went on a trip he never came back for her and we weren’t able to take her back so we kept her. She’s very energetic that’s one of the reasons why I can’t keep her anymore I’m the only one that’s able to handle her because she’s likes to jump on people she gets to hyper around my kids my son is 5 years old and he’s terrified of her she’s to rough. I also started working and I can’t spend time he time she needs with her anymore she needs to be walked a lot and she’s too long in her crate like I said because my kids are afraid of her so when I work long hours she has to wait for me to take her out please I need to find a home or a solution for her to have a happy life like she deserves she’s smart and deserves better then what I can provide for her.
