Story
Tank is very affectionate and likes a lot of love, he constantly wants to be with his owner. Tank is a very jealous dog. He has been aggressive with other dogs when he is not the center of attention. He is best if he is the only dog in the household. Tank really is a sweet and loving dog, he just doesn't do well when another dog is getting all the attention. He licks everything and always lays by your side for love. He is also a loud sleeper. Snores pretty loud but will usually stop if you yell out his name. Tank needs a loving owner that can give him a lot of attention.

Story
Pepper was originally the beloved companion of an elderly family member and thrived in a quiet, one-person home with a predictable routine. After her passing, Pepper came to live with our family, but we’ve learned that our busy household is not the right fit for him. Pepper is gentle, affectionate, and bonds closely with his person. He does best when someone is home often and able to take him outside rather than relying on a dog door. He is sensitive and easily startled by movement or noises in the yard and prefers to be escorted outside. A calm home with a grass yard would likely be a good fit. In a busy environment, Pepper has had occasional indoor accidents. With regular, supervised potty breaks and someone attentive to his cues, he does well. Pepper would be a great match for a single adult or low-activity household seeking a close companion in a calm, stable environment. Pepper has a known heart murmur that has been noted during routine vet exams. No treatment required.
