Story
Hello, this is Banji! He is 5 years old—an adorable sweetheart! He is energetic and playful, friendly, very obedient, and intelligent. He gets along well with cats and with his brother, Sam. He is looking for a home where he will receive lots of love, and he is already house-trained! I am placing him up for adoption because, given my current circumstances, I am afraid he would end up all alone. Things have become difficult, and I don't want him to be left homeless! I am giving up a true treasure; ideally, they would be adopted together, as he and Sam are brothers.

Story
Oliver is a very sweet, abstract apricot, intact, house broken, standard poodle that deserves his own special person. He spends most of his day outside with his abstract black mother and brother. His father no longer plays nice with him. He has been raised in a calm, no yelling environment. He's never been allowed in a kitchen. He eats 4Health salmon and potato food. He loves pumpkin, ground pumpkin seeds, and sardines mixed into his three meals a day. He will yodel if his meal is late. 9am 3pm and 9pm one heaping cup of kibble with a cup of water mixed in. He needs a strong fenced yard to roam and do his business in. He was born 11-27-2022. He hunts in his yard. No bird, bunny, mouse, rat, lizard, snake or chipmunk is safe. He has never seen a cat. We are retiring due to a sudden health issue and must give up 2 of our 4 standard poodles. He is precious.

Story
Buddy came to our home wearing a collar but no tags. He acclimated to our other dogs and cats with no issues. Attempts to find his owners through Social Media, flyers placed in the neighborhood, and calls to area veterinary clinics were fruitless. Buddy has been vetted, neutered, attended dog obedience classes, and is ready to find a forever home. He would prefer a home with a fenced yard that also welcomes him into the home. Although Buddy weighs 65 lbs, he also thinks he is a lap dog and will crawl up in any willing lap. He is a loyal protector, and his baying will keep your home safe from predators. Buddy has lived amiably with dogs, cats, and other pets in his foster home. He knows basic commands- sit, stay, place, and kennel. Buddy loves to play tug-of-war with his rope and is an intelligent animal. Loving, loyal, and full of energy, Buddy will make a great companion in a home with children. In return, he will be their constant loyal protector and partner in play.

Hey, this is Sam. He's a great guy—smart, calm, and friendly with cats. He loves to sleep and is very peaceful. He's looking for a home where he'll receive lots of love—a place where he'll get companionship and attention. Up for adoption! Things have gotten difficult, and I don't want him to end up alone without a home. I am giving up a true treasure—and what could be better than for them to go together? He and Banjie are brothers.
