Story
I adopted Calla Lilly from a rescue about 5 years ago. Her owner had died. She is a senior but has all the energy of a puppy. She is very loving and likes kissing and sitting on your lap. Currently she lives with a very old maltese. She is a great watchdog and will especially protect you from squirrels. She is only 7 lbs, but thinks she is a Great Dane. That’s the problem. I am marrying a man who has a German Shepherd mix, and Calla thinks she needs to protect me from him. We are concerned that Calla could be injured if they find an opportunity to fight or if the German Shepherd accidentally hurts her while trying to play. The maltese will not provoke the German Shepherd and is much bigger. She would probably do well in a family with children who would run and play with her.

Story
Klondike is a 4 year old, 90 lb, all-white German Shepherd who has so much love to give. He is an absolute angel, walks great on leash, takes treats gently, and is wonderful with dogs and small kids. He knows basic commands like sit, stay, down, and has great recall. He is so friendly, greeting everyone with a big smile. He reserves his biggest tail wags for his people, who he loves with all his heart. He loves pets, cuddles, head scratches, and belly rubs. Although he is a big love bug, please no cats for him. He is a low-to-medium energy dog who is very content sleeping on his bed most of the day, but loves when it’s time for walks and fetch with his ball. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on preventatives. Klondike is a velcro dog with some separation anxiety who loves to be with his people/person. He would do best with a family where someone is home all day (either WFH or retiree) or someone who wants to take their furry friend with them everywhere!

Story
Hello! I am looking for experienced adopter for an adorable dog. She was a stray so she is shy at first but once she warms up to you she is sweet and cuddly. She is learning how to walk on a leash but still needs more training. She is housetrained and lets us know when she needs to go outside to potty. She will need a secure and fenced in yard as she loves to be outside and adventure. She gets along with my elderly dog and my cats but I do not know how she would be with other animals as I do not know her history. She has never shown any aggression, ever, as far as I can tell. She loves my 11 year old. However, I have not seen her with smaller children. She loves attention and always wants to be near her person. She is always there to greet us when we come home. She will make the perfect family member for someone and just wants to be loved and give love back. Little Dog is listed with Wonder Dog Rescue and they have their own application + adoption fee which would cancel this fee :)

Story
Mazikeen is such a sweet girl once she warms up to you. She will be your favorite cuddle buddy. She loves going for long walks, dinner time and her daily chewy snacks. Maz could use some training to reach her full potential. Due to her young age, she is still moldable and eager to learn. I never had any intention of rehoming my baby, but recent female-female tension with my other Rottie had led me to this road. I am hoping she finds a home where she is loved just as much as she is in my home. Please reach out if your intentions are good for this sweet soul!!
