Story
Bella is a very sweet, loveable dog. She truly is the best. It hurts my heart to have to get rid of her but I have a 9 year in travel ball, I have newborn daughter, and I have job that requires long hours. I just do not have the time to love her like she should be loved. I have never had any issues out of here as far as aggressiveness or anything to that nature. She loves both my kids. She just wants to play and be loved. I have brought her in the house and she just lays down but she is not house trained as she in an outdoor dog and I would just let her out and come back inside.

Story
Tank is a big old man looking for a new home- no dogs, no kids. Tank is an 8 yo olde English bulldogge. He is lazy and loves to sleep and snuggle on the couch. He’s house trained and easy going. He likes to play/ but gets tired fast- he’s a BIG boy. He doesn’t require much exercise, but loves to lay out in the sun during the day. He does not get along with our new dog and has shown aggression towards others dogs. We love tank, but he needs a quiet home with less chaos than we can offer him.

Story
This handsome boy was picked up running loose in an apartment complex. He had a collar on with no ID and was not microchipped. He came right to the people who found him and was brought to me to keep and either find his owners or rehome. He was not neutered, but we did have him neutered on 6/13; his vaccinations were updated, and he was microchipped. He has since healed from his procedure, and he has stopped marking. He does get along well with other dogs and cats. He attempts to mount other dogs, which will continue for a few months/until his hormones have entirely left his system. He has been around small animals and has done very well. He has an inquisitive nature about him. He needs to be kept separate at meal times and with treats. He is not used to eating around other dogs, and although this may improve with time and training, I am still very cautious. He is around 1-2 years old. He is crate trained and we are working on leash training. He wants all the love, cuddle and playtime!
