Story
Meet Charlie, a magnificent 4-year-old Great Dane with the biggest heart! Charlie lives up to the nickname Velcro in the best way possible; he is incredibly loyal and will happily be your shadow, following you from room to room just to be close. He has a wonderful, protective presence and is a great guard dog who will certainly let you know if someone is at the door! When he's not on guard duty, Charlie is a playful boy who also happens to be a world-class couch potato, always ready for a good snuggle session. He has a ton of character and will bring endless joy and laughter to his new family. Special Consids: Charlie has enjoyed a home-prepped diet for 1yr. He used to eat kibble. I cook 7-8 days worth of food at a time. Aves for Improvement: He is a sensitive soul and can be afraid of new things (even something as simple as a box can block his path! Charlie had his 1st, 2nd and 3rd round of vaccines as a puppy, but had a reaction to them so we opted to not have him take any more.

Story
Lucy is about 4 years old and is a sweet, gentle girl who forms strong bonds with the people she loves. Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys being close and spending time with you, though she does take a little time to warm up to new people and situations. She can be skittish and cautious by nature, something she’s been like since she was very young. Lucy does well with other dogs and would ideally go to a home with another dog, as she’s always had a canine companion (we are keeping our older dog). She’s used to being around kids, though she may be shy at first until she gets to know them. If she’s very uncomfortable, she may give a small growl as a warning, but she has never snapped or bitten anyone, including at the vet. She is kennel trained and finds comfort in her crate. Lucy knows Sit, Stay, Spin, Wait, and Shake. Her kennel and some of her favorite toys will come with her. She received all her early-life vaccinations and will need an updated rabies shot. Happy to answer any Qs

Story
Kaiju is looking for his forever home. He is up to date on his shots, neutered, and microchipped. He is around 4-5 years old and weighs 50-60lbs. Tug of war expert. I adopted him from the shelter. He was going to be euthanized the day I showed up at the shelter. I decided to take him home until I could find him his forever home. Would be nice finding his forever home. Someone that is experienced or willing to put the work to help Kaiju be his best self. Probably should be the only dog and have no small kids around. However, he could learn to coexist with the proper care, training, and patience. Also, he hates cats...

Story
Peta was saved from the streets of Phoenix when she was just a few years old. We suspect she’s about 5 years old and a pit bull. She is very loving; she loves to be pet and given treats. She is used to cats and dogs as she’s lived with both in her current home. She’s a great dog but unfortunately we are moving across states and do not have any possible way to keep her under these circumstances. Looking for an owner that can love her and care for her the way we did.

He is a sweet young dog we got from a neighbor. We are so busy we don’t have time to train him and love on him. It is a heartbreaker for us, but it has to be done.
