Story
About me: Hi! My name is Cinderella and I am a confident, curious and playful puppy! I have all the puppy spunk and energy that people know and love but I do enjoy being snuggled and pet after a good play session. I`m just starting with my training and am very food motivated and love attention so all the positive reinforcement training will be fun!Likes: treats and playing tugDislikes: none Special request: none Kennel trained: YesHouse trained: Working on it!Dogs: yes, I love to play. Cats: probably but the resident cat isn’t nice to me because I have too much energy in her space and I’m learning to leave her alone.Children: yes! But I still have sharp puppy teeth and I love to jump up to lick faces so that might be scary for little ones.

Story
Alfie is the most amazing, loving dog you will have the honour of adopting. It breaks our hearts to have to rehome him after 10 years together where we first adopted him from the humane society. Due to our son’s recent medical diagnosis, we have no choice but to rehome our sweet boy. He loves cuddles and just wants to be close by humans. Although he plays with other small dogs, I know he’ll want to be in a home with no other pets where he can be the only pampered pup. He does have car anxiety, so we just crate him in the car when taking him to grooming appts (just a lot of whining in the car). But the groomers love him because he’s a gentle boy. He has been around our 7 and 3 year old and has been nothing but amazing with them. He is fully house trained. He is not crate trained and has a fear of being in one inside house. He would love to sleep in his own bed in your room. He just wants to be close to people. He loves to be chased around the yard and loves his back and tummy scratches
