Story
Luna is a very young sweet energetic girl . She enjoys running at the park and grazing . She is crate trained and potty trained . She is very sweet and loves cuddles and face rubs . She also loves walks is eager to smell some grass . I found her under a car at the beginning of November and then had help pulling her from the shelter . Ive now fostered her for a while and have gotten to know this sweet girl very well. She had a terrible skin condition that I am happy to say is gone and her fur is completely grown back . She is very independent as a full time college student with 5 other pets I dont give her as much attention as she deserves and still she is happy as ever to see me. It took me several days to gain her trust so she is a dog that takes time to adjust . I would love to help find/pay a trainer for her future adopter .

Petra is very sweet girl, never really had an issue with her behavior. She’s afraid of fireworks, sadly our neighbor is always setting canons off and horrifies her, so we keep her inside during the night. Petra is very smart, she listens to commands and just a sweet girl. I have a new baby and live in a studio apartment which is why Petra needs a new home with plenty of space.

Story
My brother got Thor when Thor was just a couple of months old. Thor is a boxer-benseji mix. He has a beautiful pointed nose of a basenji and adorable droopy lips of a boxer. His basenji nature is very interesting. He is clever, independent, and good at cleaning himself. He does not drool. At home, Thor is quite relaxed. He loves to lay next to you and quietly goes to sleep as you pet him. Thor is a lovely dog. He is so gentle and so sweet that it feels great to give him a hug. Thor loves walks. He gets very excited but serious on his walks. You could see the pep in his steps and also the determination in his movements as he patrol his territory around the neighborhood. My brother ran into issues a while back and had to moved back home with my dad and I. I live in a mobile home complex that does not allow large dogs. Our manager said we can’t keep Thor in our complex because he is a big dog. I hope to find Thor a loving family that could care for him and appreciate his good nature.
