Story
This sweet puppy wants hugs from everyone he meets, and more hugs from his person every day. Never shows aggression and he’s extremely popular at the dog park. He’s very confident and curious. He really needs more time and space than I’m capable of giving to him. He’s very food-motivated and easy to train. A place to run and get daily exercise is a must!

Story
Odi is a 69-lb, non-shedding Goldendoodle who is intelligent, affectionate, house-trained, healthy, and deeply loyal to his person. He loves water, long walks, hiking, the beach, and being by your side. He can be left alone for several hours and has no separation anxiety.Odi is affectionate with the people he knows and loves. He is eager to please, highly trainable, and enjoys being close to his person. He would thrive with someone who appreciates having a devoted companion.Odi is not suitable for every home. He has a history of territorial behavior with unfamiliar people and resource guarding of high-value items (balls and bones), including previous bite incidents. He has been successfully managed with a muzzle in public and by avoiding known triggers.Odi needs an experienced, dog-savvy owner committed to continuing his management. I’m committed to being completely transparent about his history so the right person can decide if he’s the right fit.

Story
Im needing to rehome our 6yr old boxer. I'm Recently, having to move in with my 2 disabled parents and unfortunately cannot keep her. She is a love bug, sweet , smart, goofy, wiggily , boxer. She loves toys and playing tug of war and fetch. She only sometimes brings it back though lol. She get along great with other dogs, in fact she would prefer to live in a house with another dog. She loves children of all ages.She is a bouncy, wiggly , leaner so i would recommend kids 8 and up so she doesn't knock them over ( on accident out of love) she loves cats she has lived with 3 different cats over the years. The cons...she is a foodie and will still food off the counter if left alone. She also, sometimes happy pees.When she first meets someone , if they get her really excited. I would recommend meeting new people outside. Once she knows you she won't do that anymore. Get in touch if you would like to meet her!

Story
Star is a very quiet and gentle German Shepherd. She rarely barks and enjoys long walks, especially first thing after she wakes up—sometimes after you do. She is a house dog but will happily spend time outside if she has access to a backyard. She loves chasing balls and toys, though she’ll tease you instead of fully returning them. She’ll bring you toys and gently poke you with them when she wants to play. When she wants affection, she’ll rest her head on your arm and stand beside you. Star does not get on furniture or beds; she has her own. She will not wake you in the morning—she considers that unladylike. She enjoys an evening walk every night to do her business. She is very gentle with other animals, especially smaller ones, and would thrive in a home with children or other dogs to play with. She understands simple commands such as “Down,” “No,” her name, and “Lay down.” Star is a healthy weight. She does not swim but can catch balls and loves scratches and snacks. Her only med
