Story
I adopted Wuggy last year from what I believe was an abusive home. They had other dogs who bullied Wuggy and he was also known as the “garbage” dog because he would have to eat out of their trash. He was abused by the moms boyfriend and he was a completely different dog than he is now. He has come a long way, he is a lovey dovey dog. A dog that likes to be close to humans and especially loves children!! My reasoning for rehoming him is personal. I do not wish to expose myself on here but I am currently going through mental health things and I do not have the time,patience, and money to take care of Wuggy. Wuggy would do best in a family home so he can get lots and lots of attention. The fee is final and I will include his cage,food,indoor enclosure.

Story
Meet Zoey! 🐾Zoey is an 11-month-old Rottweiler/Lab mix (DNA results above) with a big personality and an even bigger heart! She is extremely energetic, playful, affectionate, and always looking for attention or her next adventure.We’ve had Zoey since she was 3 months old. She has grown up with our 14-year-old Pit Bull and two young children (6 and 2). Originally advertised as a Boxer/Lab mix, we were surprised by how large she became!Zoey has completed two puppy training courses, four private in-home sessions, and six weeks of group training.Recently, she has shown resource guarding behaviors, including growling at our children and other dog, but never toward us. She has never bitten anyone.As heartbreaking as this is, we believe Zoey would thrive in an active, experienced, preferably adult-only home that can provide continued training, exercise, and attention.Our priority is finding her a safe, loving forever home where she can thrive. ❤️

Story
Paddington Bear was born May 12th, 2021. He is lovingly called a chunk and is food motivated. (Especially hotdogs) He is goofy and loves snuggles and bonds especially well with women. He knows basic commands in sign language and by training. He has some fear that can be worked out with an experienced dog lover willing to expose him to new environments and people. Grew up with other dogs, so dog friendly.Preferably a house with older children or no children. Urgent to rehome due to change in living situation

🐾 Mooshi – French Bulldog Looking for a Loving Home 🐾Mooshi is a sweet, energetic, and loving 3-year-old purebred French Bulldog who is looking for a new family to call his own.He has been a wonderful dog and is great with our two other dogs and our cat. He loves to play, is always excited to spend time with you, and also loves to cuddle and be close to his people.We have recently gotten extremely busy and, unfortunately, don’t feel like we are able to give Mooshi the time and attention he deserves. We want to find him a good, loving family where he will be well cared for and treated like part of the family.We purchased Mooshi from a breeder here in the valley. He is approximately 3 years old and is a purebred French Bulldog.💰 Asking $1,000 — willing to negotiate for the right home.Our priority is finding Mooshi a loving and responsible family.

Story
River is a beautiful, intelligent, and affectionate purebred Border Collie born on June 2, 2024. We adopted him from a breeder, and he comes with AKC registration paperwork and documented pedigree information from official stud book records. River has been an incredible dog in so many ways. He is exceptionally smart, eager to please, highly trainable, and obedient. He learns commands quickly, loves spending time with his people, and enjoys playing, being active, and receiving affection. He is also good with other dogs. Unfortunately, as River has matured, he has developed increasingly concerning aggression toward the children in our home. He has displayed growling, staring, and lunging behaviors. Our greatest hope is to find River a safe, loving, and appropriate environment where he can receive the attention and enrichment he deserves. We love him dearly and want to make the most responsible decision for both River and our family.

Story
3 year old male American Bully. Neutered. We have a cat and gets along with her. Also good with our 9 year old granddaughter. Very excitable so would need to be careful with younger children. Was given to us as a gift but our schedules have changed and poor guy does not get attention he requires. Would love to find him a good home where he can actually be more active.
