Story
I got Ellie from the Humane Society when she was about two months old. She is a wonderful 2.5 year old, moderate energy dog. I am a night shift nurse who is also a coach and I unfortunately don’t have the time to give her the energy and attention she needs anymore. She plays great with other dogs and would do well in a family environment or a home with multiple people to entertain her. She would do best with kids past the toddler stage. She is in dog daycare multiple times a week so she is used to being in that environment. She is very smart and should be able to adjust to a new environment. She loves being active but can also sit and hang out on the couch. She loves hikes and long walks. She has lived in both an apartment and a house and is trained in both environments.

Story
Grace was born on Jan 20, 2025. Grace has 12 siblings only lives with 3 sisters, mom and dad. Grace is all love and is very affectionate. I don't know how she would do with other pets because she has only lived with her pack. With that being said, I believe she would do well around other dogs because she does not try to be top dog in her pack. If you're looking for a dog who loves to cuddle and whom needs love, Grace is for you. Grace and all her sisters have been raised around my kids, so there are no issues with reaching for their bowl while feeding.

Rocky is 8 month's old he is friendly and very playful. We’ve had him for 10 days, his previous owner couldn’t take care of him anymore we took him in to find a good home for him. We already have a dog who is 8 years old and grumpy not very welcoming as a result we are not able to keep Rocky because of his high energy is not compatible with our dog.

Story
This is Friday! She’s a super sweet dog that LOVES attention, she will be by your side! She’s a little older at about 7 years old but has plenty of energy for a young individual or young couple. She loves walks and being lazy at times. Friday will need to be the only pet in the house for she doesn’t do well with other dogs as well as not doing well with small children. She would need to be with a young individual or Couple. Doesn’t do well with other dogs and small Children.

Story
Emma is 1 of 6 dogs that I currently have. She was born on Jan 20, 2025. She comes from a litter of 12 pups. Emma is very interesting, when giving the dogs treats, she will always eat last and watches to see if any of her sisters leave a treat unattended for the easy steal. She is normally timid however she is very strong and does not allow herself to be bullied by her sisters. Emma is also very alert and a good protector. Having six dogs is really affecting my health as i am allergic to dander. Would love for a loving person/family to take her and give her the love she deserves. Emma has been around my children from birth and has no issues with you reaching into her bowl while feeding
