Story
I started fostering Nala for my neighbor because of their living situation. In the short amount of time that we have had Nala she has made huge strides in sitting, staying, leash training and recall. She is house trained, fixed, good with dogs and kids. Unfortunately she doesnt realize how big she is which has put alot of stress on our little dog, Hank. She is innocently wanting to play but is hurting him in the meantime. She also had really bad seperation anxiety. Despite my best efforts I can not find a way that eliminates her from chewing on things. I am a single mom and work a hybrid schedule but even gone an hour sends her in a frenzy regardless of the big walk prior too.

Story
The selling price is most definitely negotiable. The new parent/leader of Lazarus must show some effort in proving that they will be responsible enough, and most importantly, that Lazarus will get the Love and attention that he needs and wants. He is a joyful little giant. He's trained to perfection. He will not chew anything that he shouldn't and he will wait by the door when he wants to go outside. He's NOT an outdoor family member. He was raise, spoiled and loved inside a loving home. And his new home should be as such. Lazarus will be missed and and my children will severely be affected by this but at the end of the day, I made this decision for the well being of Lazarus. He doesn't get the attention he deserves because I wo4k too much and kids are growing fast and see Lazarus as a shore. I hope your home is the forever home for my Lazarus.

Meet Mac; a 2-year-old Lab mix with a big heart and an even bigger love for his people. Mac is a certified cuddle enthusiast who thinks being close to his humans is the best place to be. If you’re sitting down, there’s a good chance he’s trying to join you. Mac would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can be the center of attention and feel secure. With the right environment, structure, and continued guidance, he has the potential to be an incredibly loyal, loving companion.

Story
Ozzy is a very large, beautiful 2 1/2 YO who does not realize how big she is at times. She is a playful girl who needs room to run and burn off some of her energy. I have developed some serious health problems after I adopted this beautiful girl and am no longer able to give her the attention and exercise that she needs. Ozzy was a stray I rescued from a shelter 12/31/24. She is a very loving and affectionate girl who loves to cuddle and would love to be a lap dog if you let her. Ozzy was sent for 2-week Off-Leash K-9 Training in January 2025 and is e-collar trained. Ozzy listens well and understands commands without the e-collar being used. We have worked very hard on manners and Ozzy has learned to become non-reactive to other dogs, she will sit on command while other dogs pass by on a walk. She is a very good dog and is not a nuisance when in public. She is a very good companion, and it breaks my heart to have to rehome her, but she deserves more than I can give her now.
