Mavis is an extraordinary girl! She's incredibly smart, loyal, funny protective & and extremely loving. She is spayed and knows her commands like sit, stay, and knows how to shake. Her recall is exceptional, and she responds instantly. I'm going to be devastated to see her find her forever new home, but I have my own pit.Bull that is not dog friendly.

Story
Carson is a brown and white beabull who is 7 years old. Leo is also a beabull and is tan and is 5 years old. Both are about 60 pounds. I have had Carson for 6 years and Leo for 5. Due to life style changes and them not getting along with other dogs I need to find them a new loving home. I would very much like to keep them together. They would work best in a home with adults who are home often. They love attention. They almost always get along but get into little spats from time to time like any other siblings. They do not get along with other dogs when I am near. However I have taken them to daycare and board them and they have no issues with other dogs there. They get along with the cat that I have They have not been around kids. Carson does have some slight allergies that cause him to bite and lick at his paws. These are managed with a shot about every 3 months or as needed. Leo sometimes has a sore right back leg but it does not prevent him from getting around or playing.

Story
I acquired Zeus at about 2-3 months old from a friend that was selling her newly born puppies. Zeus is about 1 year and 10 months now. He is an energetic young lab who ideally should be in a home where he can get a lot of attention and also ideally a home with other pets as he loves to play with other dogs. He is very loving and loves to cuddle as well!

Story
Meet Sheara, a quirky/spunky, but most importantly a loyal family dog. As much as I do not want to rehome her & wish my circumstance can be beneficial to her, (which is the reason why there is no adoption fee) she needs a forever home. Preferably a house w a fenced backyard(no apartments), no aggressive dogs, An already experienced owner to canine dogs (or someone willing to work w her because she is moldable), and someone who can upkeep with her mental and physical needs.
