Story
We've made the difficult decision to rehome our beloved Bernedoodle, Crosby, or "Cross-Bear." Crosby is a very good dog adopted from a reputable breeder as a puppy. He is 8 years old (Born Nov 2017). The addition of our second child is causing Crosby seperation anxiety (sitting right next to/on top of our kids preventing their ability to play). Additionally a move to a new residence does not have any grass for Crosby to play. Crosby is quintessential Bernedoodle (calm, affectionate, stubborn, intelligent nature). He has never shown any signs of aggression and is very gentle, loving, and excited by new people. He is full size and weighs about 80 lbs. F1 Doodle with little or minor shedding depending on how often he is brushed. Loves going on walks and hikes. Adoption fee includes Crosby's belongings including his bed, collars, bowls, etc...

Story
Bear is a sweet puppy who was given to me as a last resort from an unhomed man who was unable to care for her. She is incredibly sweet and loving. It is urgent that she finds a home that can care for her. She is incredibly relaxed and curious. The perfect dog for anyone looking to expand their family. We’re working on both crate training and potty training and she has been a very quick learner so far. Very eager to please.

Rocky

Alaskan Malamute Husky

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We found Rocky in an over-crowded shelter in Northern California in December 2024. We have lots of experience with Malamutes and welcomed this charming guy into our home on the Central Coast. Unfortunately, our 8-year-old dog is not pleased with the addition of an active, young buck who takes up more than half the time we would normally spend with our senior dog. Rocky is 3 years old, a sweetheart who is eager to please his human companions. He is polite and affectionate indoors, but prefers outdoor adventures, meeting people and other dogs. He would love more attention and exercise than the two of us can provide at this time. We recently lost two parents and a third parent is on Hospice care. Two dogs are more than we can handle presently. Please adopt this handsome guy - just look at those lovely, big brown eyes (with a splash of blue in right eye) and the beauty mark (a la Marilyn Monroe) under his left eye!

Size

Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is "Minnie" a 5 year old that we are no longer able to keep. She has been with our now 83 year old Mom, left behind by a granddaughter that moved without the dog. She has been a companion to our Mom for the past 4 years. Minnie was a puppy when her original owner left and she helped my Mom get thru Covid and it's isolation that it brought. Minnie has now grown into a cute 100 lbs. girl that is just too big for my Mom's small back yard. Minnie is too strong for my Mom and does not get to go on walks at all. We are also afraid that she may accidentally knock my my over (thru no fault of her own) and hurt herself. Additionally, our Mom has early onset of Dementia. She has recently forgotten to feed Minnie and herself. We are currently seeking a new living arraignment for our Mom so that she can have someone with her full-time. Minnie is a vibrant young dog and deserves someone who can properly care for her. Unfortunately, my Mom is not able to do that anymore.

Story
This is Bronco. He is a sweetheart! He loves affection, can be very playful but also loves to sunbathe and nap. I don’t want to let him go, I am very emotionally attached to him and he is to me, we’ve been through a lot of difficult things together. But that love for him is why I’m looking for a new home for him. He deserves to be in a home where he can be a true house dog, he just wants to be near his family. It’s a long story but I ended up with him because of somebody else’s decision, I didn’t want the responsibility of having a dog. But here we are and I feel like I’m failing him. That’s why I’m hoping he can find a better home and better life than I can give him.
