Story
Hello! This is Maximus Horatio Benny and the Jetts. Max for short. But we also started calling him "little man" and it just sort of stuck. He is 5 years old and we have had him since he was about 2-3 months old. He came from family friends, and we are still in contact with Max's original family and his doggy parents. I have a young daughter that has started to develop an allergy for dogs, so it is with a heavy heart that we need to rehome our little man. He's very sweet and good with other dogs and our kids. He did have his first few rounds of all vaccines, but we have not kept up since then. He does not go to the dog park, which is why we haven't kept up. We do have receipts for his vaccines, microchip and neuter. He is kennel trained, but does have a habit of marking territory outside of the kennel that we did not nip in the bud. So he will need a home where you can actively train, or actively clean up after him.

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 Considerations: Dietary Needs: Charlie is a picky eater and has enjoyed a home-prepped diet his for 1yr. His ideal family will be willing to continue preparing his meals or work on a smooth transition to a high-quality kibble. Avenues 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!

Story
Lucy is about 4 years old she is a good dog she is very attached to people she likes and will want to hang out with you but takes some time to warm up to anyone or anything new. Shes very skittish and afraid of new things and people though we have had her since she is very small so it's just in her nature. She is good with other dogs and I would prefer she has another dog to go with as our other dog has always been around with her (we are keeping her as she is a little older). She is very used to kids but again is pretty skittish until she gets to know them. She may growl a tiny bit if she is very uncomfortable but we have never known her to snap or bite at anyone at the vet or otherwise. She is kennel trained and finds comfort in her kennel. Her kennel and some toys would come along with her. She has all her shots from her early life but needs an updated rabies shot. Open to any other questions!

Sasha is a purebred coated xolo we rescued from a breeder that was unable to keep their dogs. She is shy at first and will require a loving adopter to be patient. She is very gentle and submissive.

Story
Orbit is a very sweet dog a year old. He is house trained and loves people. He is big and probably not the best dog for little kids due to his size. He is good with most dogs but we would like him to go to a home where he is the main focus.
