Story
Kenai was rescued by us as a puppy from Texas. She is 4 years old (DOB 6/11/19). She became a reactive dog around 10 months old despite taking her to puppy classes and desensitization classes as well as socializing her through puppy day care and beyond. When COVID pandemic arrived, we had to move and lost access to the daycare. In our new neighborhood there are many dogs - she has found great dog friends, whom she is always eager to play with. However, certain situtations trigger her anxiety, and in turn, her reactiveness. Dogs that "stare her down" or reactiveness of other dogs will trigger her to raise her hackles and react in turn. Night walks, with low visibility, puts her more on edge. Despite working with a dedicated behaviorist and medication, her unease is clear. At home, and to those she knows, she is absolutely loving, sweet, and gentle (inc. kids/men). No resource issues. She would thrive in a wide open space where there are less distractions, fewer unknown dogs.

Story
Lilly is literally the sweetest, most patient, excited girl! She has always been super patient with our children (even when they were antagonizing her). She loves eating grass, going on long walks, chewing on her toys, licking hands, cuddling, getting tummy rubs, and giving kisses!! She loves to play with other dogs, mostly other girls (behaved boys are ok too as long as they don’t hump, she’s a lady lol). She has always preferred humans over dogs but has never had issues socializing . She has a bestie now who is a pup but Lilly keeps up during play . Lilz is overall a very very sweet dog. Unfortunately we can no longer keep her due to relocating to a place with no yard and limited space. We’d love for her to go to someone active as she has a lot of energy. She can laze around too but will get into mischief if not exercised. Overall she is a great family dog and a great partner and will stay off the furniture unless you allow it. She’s also a quick learner and easy to train.

Story
this is Draco he is 1year and 8 months old , he is currently 50pounds . He is a stanfordshire pitbull mix , up to date with all his vaccines . He is very good and gentle , he really like kids and he is good with other dogs . He likes to play a lot and is very sweet. He behaves really well and he is spayed and trained to potty outside as well !! He needs someone who takes care of him and play with him . mainly a place with kids or people who like to walk a lot /or do activities since he is young he has lots of energy . He also learn how to potty unleash without running away. At home normally we don’t use the crane since he is well behaved, he won’t mess or play with anything in your house just with his own toys. I believe since he was spayed at very young age he lost the urge to bite things (that are not squishy like his toys) . He will give you lots of love .
