Story
Deuce has been rehomed twice (including with me) already. He’s 2 and a half or 3 years old. Before I got him, I was told he was used to being alone, with no other dogs around, but once he got rehomed, and bred, he suddenly was living with about 5 other dogs. Eventually things got a bit heated and I spectated him from the pack. He’s been an awesome dog! Very patient, strong, healthy, and handsome! He’s also potty trained and doesn’t tear anything up other than his toys! He REALLY loves to play with balls (especially ones like basketballs!). Just a little suspicious when it comes to other dogs but is great with people! I would recommend him to anyone who doesn’t have animals (like cats or other dogs/ small animals that roam) and who enjoy a big ol’ cuddle bug! My landlord wasn’allowing me to keep him which is why I’m having to unfortunately rehome him. I’ve tried fosters, humane societies, etc, and all have no space! I don’t want to send him to the county so plz if you can share or adopt

Story
I adopted Luke when he was a year old over eight years ago, so he's now 9 years old; although you'd never guess it with his energy. This boy has been my soulmate. We've traveled through multiple states together during the younger years of my life, and he has been my constant companion. Luke thrives best in a home with no other dogs or cats. He truly loves being an only child and enjoys having his people all to himself. He currently takes fluoxetine (for anxiety having another dog in the home, however could taper off this medication once settled in) and Zenrelia (for allergies). Because of his needs and his preference for a pet-free home, he'd do best with a committed adopter who can continue his routine and provide stability. I will provide a year’s worth of medication help maintain this stability. He is loving, loyal, goofy, and full of life. He bonds deeply with his person and wants nothing more than to be part of your daily world.

Story
-4 Years old, 45 pounds -Loving, Loyal, Protective -Food Motivated, even with kibble. -Does not guard or protect food or toys -Shelter we adopted her from used her to test the temperament of newly admitted dogs. She would exercise/play with all the dogs in the shelter -Excited to make new playmates -Listens to a confident owner communicating with clear commands. *Protective/guards owners when meeting nervous/scared strangers I’m surrendering my dog because I will be a full time student in the spring and I no longer have the time she deserves. I want someone to exercise and give her the full attention she needs. She can be apprehensive at first, but can win her over with treats or food. It will take time to build her trust but once you do she will love you unconditionally. By her loving you, she will also be a protector if necessary. She a great dog, and I hope she finds an owner who can give her all the love and support she needs, but most importantly, a home she can call hers.
