Story
Oliver is such a sweet and energetic dog. He does so well with my small children (under 4). He does well with other dogs. He’ll play fetch for as long as you let him. Unfortunately with us moving to an area where it is hard to find dog friendly rentals we need to rehome him. He would do well with a family with children or other dogs. Unknown about cats. He is kenneled trained but not fully house trained. He loves walks and playing in water. He is such a great family dog.

Story
Hi everyone,I’m looking for a temporary foster or possible long-term home for my sweet girl.I’ve had her for almost 4 years. After moving back in with my parents, their German Shepherd attacked her multiple times, leaving her fearful and reactive. She is currently in a professional board-and-train program and making great progress, but I’m worried returning to the same environment will undo that progress.She is fully vaccinated, house-trained, loves people, and is an incredibly sweet dog. I will cover all expenses, including food, supplies, vet care, and training for as long as she needs.I’d prefer a home without other animals while she continues to heal. Please message me if you can help or know someone who can. I’ve actually tried everything, it’s not her she IS NOT the issue, If able please contact for further information. She has been around dogs in her board and train getting along perfectly fine, please text for information have videos of everything, NOT 4 BREEDING!!!!!!!!!

Story
This is a very difficult decision, but I'm looking for the right home for Nami. Nami is about 9 years old but still full of energy. She loves chasing water from the hose, playing, wrestling, getting pets, and giving hugs. She is spayed, microchipped, and has never shown aggression toward people.I rescued Nami from an abusive situation when she was about 6 months old and have loved her ever since. Unfortunately, with two young children and life's demands, I can no longer give her the time, exercise, and training she deserves. Nami has never been leash-trained and would do best with someone willing to invest time in walking and training her. Nami was recently involved in a tragic incident with our much smaller dog. The injuries were severe enough that the most humane decision was to put our smaller dog down. Because of this incident, Nami needs to be the only pet in the home. Nami is a good dog who deserves a second chance with someonewho can give her the attention she deserves.

Story
I’m looking to rehome my sweet dog benji due to a major change in my family’s schedule. I recently welcomed newborn twins and, unfortunately, I’m no longer able to give him the time and attention he deserves. He is house-trained, friendly, and has been a wonderful companion. He’s used to living indoors and does well in a home environment. I’m looking for someone who can provide him with the love, care, and attention he deserves.
