Story
Kash is very energetic and loves to be with people . His is about 3 years old , I had gotten him from my brother who got him as a puppy . Kash is very sweet , loves dog park and walks . He also loves to go to the park and chase squirrels . He can be a bit of an escape artist so the backyard will need to be secure as he will push against boards until one gives .

Story
Is very active and loves people and attention. Sadly cannot keep due to having a busy schedule and not giving her the attention she needs, as well as downsizing. Knows basic commands such as “sit”, “down”, “leave it”, “off”. She is very smart, she brings me her water bowl when it is empty. She is a great companion, a very happy dog.

These puppies (males and females)come from an unexpected litter. The mother is on the wait-list to be fixed. I have reached out to multiple rescues and societies unfortunately that are at max capacity and can't help. They are precious puppies that need and deserve families and forever homes.

Story
Bubbles is a fun-loving, loyal, and super smart pup with a lot of love to give. This hilarious guy loves making his own bed (because who needs humans for that anyway?) and is known for his playful and affectionate nature. He loves to play with toys, dinosaur and snake stuffies being his favorite! He also loves long naps on the couch after he rearranges all of the pillows and blankets to his liking. Inside his foster home, he is an absolute gem with all dogs, both big and small. We are still working with him on his leash reactivity while out on walks as he feels as though he has to protect his humans from other people, animals, bicycles, cars, etc. He is such a funny guy, and is SO sweet and easy. If it was up to him, the only thing he would do all day is eat, play with his toys, and take long naps. Bubbles SO deserves to find his happily ever after -- could it be with you? Please complete a foster application today in order to meet this house hippo!
