Story
Maki is 2 years old. I recently moved and I’m not allowed to keep her unfortunately. Maki is a very loving dog and is very loyal. She loves kids and plays nicely with them. She gets very excited and just wants to run around. She is trained to go potty on puppy pads. She does become vocal if she gets left alone, I think she may have some type of anxiety but I’m not sure. I’m not asking for a fee, I just want to be sure I’m giving Maki to a loving home where she can have the life she deserves.

Story
I adopted Luna at the animal shelter, she was super playful from the start and got along with my 2 year old daughter. Her paperwork stated she was around 1 year old. She is a very loving dog. Unfortunately we moved into something smaller, and we are not able to give her the time as much and space she needs. Due her shedding we decided to trim her hair to avoid allergies which did not seem to work. We are hoping she finds a good home that loves her.

Story
Say Hello to Ms. Gretal. She is an 8 y/o Terrier Shi tzu mix. Gretal absolutely loves balloons, balls and when you throw her toys to fetch. Ive taken her on camping trips, car rides, and parks. Gretal is an adventurous lady. She is a big foodie at heart and her favorite people are those that give her all the treats they can offer. Gretal is a social butterfly. She will throw her self on you and go limp noodle for cuddles. She has had her own puppies and did well when we brought in a small kitten. Gretal has such a big heart and will provide emotional comfort if you are sad or emotional. She kicks into a caregiver momma role whenever she hears babies (animal or human) cry. She is the sweetest girl and has been the best dog Ive ever had. I am going through a divorce and we had 4 dogs and a cat. My ex husband is living out of his car and cannot take care of any of our pups. I work 9 to 6 all week and this is my only option. I am open to Q's and meeting up. Thank you❤️
