Story
Rosey is a very smart, obedient and high energy dog. She needs both daily physical exercise and mental stimulation daily. We rescued her from a family member so she would not be forced into the local pound/shelter, but unfortunately, our circumstances have changed with my work load and our newborn. Our time throughout the day is very limited and that has become unfair to her although very hard on us. She needs to be with a family that truly has time to walk, give her an opportunity for physical exercise and continue training her daily. She is crate trained. We’d highly recommend her be adopted by a family with previous pitbull terroir experience, who is familiar with high energy dogs. She is an amazing dog with a big personality and deserves a family who can commit to her.

Story
I got Keely on November 2nd of this year. She is around 15 wks old right now. She will listen to and will obey what you say to her. She sleeps through the night. I am working on potty training her. She does go outside when she needs to go. She goes inside the house because I don't know her times when we are playing. I am training her in some things. She barks a lot because she doesn't know about her surroundings. Keely is very protective. I want her to find a home where she will be safe and the person or persons have patience in training her. She will bark at people she doesn't know until she gets to know them. She listens and is very smart when you want to train her. She is a border Collie mix. She hasn't bit anyone. She wants to play when she is around my father's caregiver dog that is 11 years old. Keely has never tried to bite the other dog. She just wants to play. Keely just needs patient people around her that are willing to train her.

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!
