Story

This joyful, 10-year-old neutered male terrier mix named Chewy is looking for a new forever home. At 20 pounds, this gentle companion is fully house trained and crate trained. He loves car rides, giving kisses, enjoys belly rubs, eagerly retrieves tennis balls, and can take the squeaker out of a toy in 10 minutes flat. Chewy enjoys playtime, but he’s just as happy lounging beside you, soaking up love and attention.

Story

She is a purebred English Labrador that we adopted as a puppy from her breeder. She’s the perfect English lab: smaller stance, blocky head, big otter tail, mellow attitude. She’s primarily an inside dog but does very well when outside for long stretches (no overnights). When inside, she is a Velcro dog; she’ll sleep on any available soft area (she is trained to stay off furniture), and is calm when you want to relax. When she’s outside, the zoomies take over and she wants to be involved in play or meet any family/dog walking by. She’s a happy, friendly dog who is very eager to please and VERY food driven. We are deciding to rehome her because we are cat people and she doesn’t get much attention or any exercise. She’s command-trained and learning to swim but hasn’t been socialized well so she jumps when meeting new people. She loves kids and is very gentle. She is spayed. She showed signs of incontinence six months ago but it has resolved without medication (maybe hormonal).

Story

This post truly breaks my heart to write. We adopted our boy in July 2024, and he has been such a big cuddle bug with tons of energy and love to give. He has always been great with other dogs & been to groomers, dog parks, and has done wonderful in those settings. However, after our recent military move, he hasn't adjusted well. We have three kids and two other dogs (one of which is a puppy), and he has recently started showing aggression toward our puppy and my bitten anyone. This behavior is completely unlike him, and because of our busy household, I don't have the time or ability to work through these sudden changes safely. For everyone's well-being, including his, I've made the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. About Him: 3-year-old male bully vaccinations (records will be provided) Microchipped Has alopecia - coconut oil has worked great for his dry skin Sweet, cuddly, energetic, and loves attention
