Story
Three years ago, my Husky and Black Lab had puppies. At the time we lived in military housing and were forced to give them up them quickly. Coco was the runt of the litter and we adored her. Last week, the person that took her decided that she no longer had the time to spend with her... She told us that if we would not take her back, she would be taken to the Humane Society that day. Coco deserves a good, loving home, not the Humane Society. But our home is too small for three full sized dogs and we are going to be moving across the country soon. She is very sweet, very curious, loves to be loved, is very good with kids, she runs around my 3 year old all day with no problem. She is up to date on her shots but will need rabies in December. She has been house trained. She seems to just want to be around people and be a part of the party. She just wants to be loved.

Story
We found Blue broken and scared on the side of the road, barely able to walk. And now she has transformed into one of the happiest and sweetest dogs you could meet! She loves to run around and play with the other dogs, or just simply go out for a walk on her leash. She is very affectionate and loves getting attention and pets. She will need some help with potty training, since we assume she has spent her life living outside. But with a little time and patience, she will pick it up! You will not regret giving this girl a chance and making her a part of your family. She will return any love you give her tenfold! Blue has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and is on a flea and tick preventative. The only thing to note medically is that she had a broken back when we first found her. It has healed well so far and should only improve with time. She is able to walk, run, and use the bathroom normally. If you are interested in adopting Blue, please fill out the application linked below and we will be in contact with you: https://form.jotform.com/230085302682854

Bear is a very loyal sweet boy. I really grew to love him. Unfortunately, I work so many hours and I thought I could take care of a dog with two kids but it just is not working out. Also I think my daughter may be allergic to dogs. I would love to find a great home for him.

Story
Initially got Maverick as a puppy from Craigslist. Mom was a lab and dad a golden. He was born Oct. 8, 2023. He is not neutered but can be after adoption. He has been socialized well and has been around big dogs, small dogs, cats and kids. He currently lives with an elderly chihuahua. He is kennel trained and will not whine. He must go in a crate when you leave him alone or he will destroy items left out. However we have tried everything to potty train him but he continues to have accidents frequently. We live in an apartment so I strongly recommend adopting only if you have a backyard. He also has other small quirks that we don’t enjoy. He does jump on people a a lot. If he is off leash he will not come when called. He has a hard time settling down and has a lot of energy. Again highly recommend only adopting if you have lots of time and energy. We are asking a very small rehoming fee only to make sure he goes to a good home. For any more information please text or email!
