Story
Not one to normally do this, but we have to rehome this handsome guy! Please read everything below and message me if you’re interested! I will be super picky about where he goes, because he deserves the best! Gauge is around 4-5 years old, male intact German Shorthaired Pointer. Very high strung dog with tons of energy! Has no training with hunting but definitely has the instinct and drive! We are rehoming due to him fighting with our other male dogs, intact and fixed. He DOES NOT get along with other male dogs and needs to be the only dog in the home also needs to have plenty of room to run so he can burn off his energy! We currently have a 2 year old and can’t have dogs fighting around her! Such a sweet dog otherwise.

Story
Allow me to introduce you to McLovin, a charming and spirited pit bull-lab mix who will celebrate his 2nd birthday this coming January. He has a striking pure white coat adorned with tiny black dots at the very tips of his ears, which adds a unique touch to his appearance. More than just a pretty face, McLovin possesses an incredibly sweet disposition and a lively personality that makes him a joy to be around. McLovin's journey began when we rescued his mother from the streets, just one week before she gave birth to a litter of nine adorable puppies. From day one, we have lovingly cared for McLovin, who is the last remaining puppy from his litter. Unlike his siblings, who all found their forever homes through various adoption events hosted by another rescue, McLovin was adopted as a young puppy but sadly returned to us after only a few days. His new adopters felt that he was experiencing depression and insisted it was best to bring him back. However, it's important to understand that this response was completely normal; having spent his whole life in our care, McLovin was simply struggling to adjust to a new environment. In hindsight, it seems that it was fortunate for McLovin that he was returned, as it became clear that his previous adopters did not possess the patience or understanding required for a deaf dog. This handsome and lovable boy is now in search of a dedicated forever home where he can thrive and grow alongside a caring family. Despite his deafness, McLovin is not held back in any way. He is an energetic and playful dog who enjoys frolicking in the yard and exploring his surroundings. He eagerly engages with new friends, both human and canine. McLovin has an impressive eagerness to learn, and he responds enthusiastically to my silent commands communicated through hand signals. He has mastered several tricks, including sitting on command and giving high fives. Although he makes a genuine effort to stay in one spot when asked, his affectionate nature often leads him to seek out cuddles, hugs, and kisses, which is a testament to his loving spirit. Finding McLovin a remarkable and patient forever home is my ultimate goal, as he has so much love to give. If you are interested in bringing this sweet boy into your home and heart, please don't hesitate to reach out for more information or to arrange a meet-and-greet. Thank you for considering giving McLovin the loving family he truly deserves!

Story
Hi, this is Reese! I found him in horrible conditions 3 years ago. He was about 4/5 weeks old, eating cat food, and covered in flees. He was very sick that first month I had him, but by some miracle he survived. He is the sweetest boy that is EXTREMELY energetic and would play all day long if I let him. I think he would be wonderful for a family with kids. He is a bit of a jumper when excited but he’s working on his manners. He knows several commands, including: sit, stay, turn. He will work hard for his treats. He does bark and is very alert. He also has very sensitive skin and breaks out in rashes every once and awhile. Im rehoming him because I work and in a full time program that keeps me away most of the day. He is showing signs of boredom and just really want him to have to best out of life.

Story
Athena is an aproximate 2 years old. And was rescued from a shelter at just 6 weeks old. She is amazing with children as she was raised with a 6m baby and is still super nice and playful with our three year old. Unfortunatly my daughter has special needs that takes a lot of special care as well as an allergy she has developed from Athena’s fur. Athena does get super excited around new people as she’s not been around a lot of new people BUT she has always been super loving. A kennel is available with adoption if interested. We love her so much and sad she has to be rehomed, but I want her to have a loving home!

Bruce is a high energy Staffie mix. He is 44 lbs, small and less than two feet tall. He loves to be around other dogs, especially smaller ones. He enjoys going to the dog park, pet daycare, and visits to Petco to see his previous trainer. Bruce is AKC certified for basic commands and obedience training. He is good on a leash, but does need some work. Bruce likes to go on daily walks, and will come with his favorite toys, kennel, etc. He is up to date on his shots and a copy of his record will be provided. Bruce is used to ages 8-13 children, but has never showed aggression towards any child. Bruce does resource guard his toys, but he will come with a list of commands, tricks, and tips to aid in redirecting him when/if this happens. Bruce is kennel trained for when you aren't home, but otherwise is allowed out in the house. He is an inside dog, he can jump the fence! If you are interested in Bruce, his owner has much more to share!

Bruno's birthday is Aug 4, 2022. He is an outdoor dog and lives with another dog and cat. He is a very active and athletic dog. He has always been timid, affectionate and goofy. I plan to start school full time soon and would like him to be in a home where he can continue his active lifestyle and be with other friends. He knows basic commands and has a great recall.
