He is a really good dog. Afraid of people but gets to warm up when people are gentle. He knows few tricks like sit, go,stay. He is playful. He never creates mess in the house as he is housetrained. He is gentle and adorable. He is also energetic but also gets tired easily. He is 3 years old but he still thinks he is puppy and likes to lay in laps. He loves his belly rubs

Story
Lakota is 9, not fixed, aggressive with dogs and cats. Good with people, he’s like 120lbs, all black. Lab/Pitbull mix! Very kind dog towards people, however aggresive with animals. he grew up in a fairly unsafe environment! He wasn't with the best owner for a couple years. He's very sweet and deserves the proper care needed. Currently living in a home with 2 other dogs, 2 cats, a 9 year old child, and 3 month old newborn baby! The house doesn't have the necessary care to provide for Lakota, and shelters have only offered "humane euthanization". Best suited for a single owner, but can be trained to work in a house with older kids!

Story
Have Had Roxy since she was several weeks old bought from a breeder. She is 3 Years old her birthday is in May. She is a very typical pug and is trained to be in her kennel when the wife and I are out she is also trained to sleep in her kennel. We have another small dog but are only allowed one where we are moving to so Roxy may have some issues initially from missing her buddy. She is used to playing with our Pomchi and is trained to go the bathroom on pee pads as well as when on walks. She does need more training on walking properly and going the bathroom outside in a yard as we do not have one. She does like to lay beside or across you and loves cuddles and belly rubs. We (My wife and I) are looking for Roxy to go to a good home where she can get the attention she deserves and just be a lazy little happy pug. She was born with a pushed in vulva an is on a urinary food diet to help prevent future complications. She has had regular vet checks and vaccinations

Story
We took this beautiful girl in in what was supposed to be a temporary situation when she needed a place to go 6 months ago. She’s an approximately 1 yr old mixed breed. She’s a sweet girl who is fully house trained & crate trained although we would have no problem trusting her to roam free if she was the only dog in the house. She loves to be outside. She has good energy but also knows how to chill. She Loves her toys & a frozen kong. She’s very food motivated. She’s also had some professional training and knows how to sit, stay, paw, heal, etc. Unfortunately we are looking to rehome as she is not getting along with our other female dog in the home. We don’t want to have to crate her all day. She most likely would do best as the only dog in the house. We are unsure of how she would be with children as she has never been around them. We love her and don’t want to see her go. She deserves the best home. Note - The rehome fee will be donated to rescue of choice

Story
Hi! My name is Lizie and I am a 5 years old female Husky. I love to play with other dogs at the park and LOVE treats :) I also love to go on a walk and meet new friends (dogs and adult humans). I am house trained and have no problems staying home alone while my mom is at work. My mom is unfortunately unable to keep me since she's moving out the province this summer for a new job. Her new job will require multiple hours outside of home and will not be able to take care of me. For my new home, I am preferrably looking for a house (not an apartment as I get anxious with multiple people and noises in the apartment building). I am also looking for a home with no children and no cats as I am scared of them. No worries I don't bite when I see a child or a cat. I will simply be distant and walk away from them. Can't wait to meet my new family :)

Story
Cesar loves people, walks, being outside. He is free fed and likes to sleep with his people. Treat motivated and very smart. Mostly house trained, has some accidents at night but uses puppy pads in the house. Vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed. We got him for our son who is autistic and had a dog for 10 yrs who passed away last October and thought he was ready but the dog is causing him great anxiety and panic attacks that was getting worse no matter what we try. We have a cat that he really wants to play with. He can sit, shake a paw, he's learning lay down and leave it. We hate having to rehome as he is such a great dog but we have to do what's best for our son.
