Story
Hello, I am looking to re-home my amazing son bear. He is such a loving, loyal, and happy boy. In 100% transparency he is hyper reactive, not to be confused with aggressive or unsafe. He currently lives in a home with two other dogs and two children under 4 with no issues. Though when he does get overstimulated he can be again hyper reactive. He is house trained, and basic training like sit, stay, lay down, and wait. Unfortunately I am being forced to move into and an extremely small apartment and I cannot imagine keeping this beautiful energetic dog in such a small living area. Someone with patience and love will be so blessed to experience a dog like bear.

Story
Pepper is a three-year-old French bulldog. Her mom and dad are my two French bulldogs. We gave her to a family member who had two large dogs at home unfortunately she got hurt by those two dogs or by jumping off a couch and she hurt her back. She had back surgery and the surgery caused her to have incontinence. So she needs someone with patience who would be willing to deal with her medical issues. I am going to include 20 pairs of permanent diapers, plus some temporary diapers. If she is outside , then there’s need to worry about her incontinence, but needs to have her diapers when inside. She needs to either be in a kennel or wearing her diaper. She basically dribbles and will also poop as she walks. If you have a backyard or an area that you can confine her then it would work out fine for her. She gets along with my two dogs and would be a great family dog. She just needs someone who would care for her needs. She has a great disposition and is really a cute dog.

Story
We adopted this little puppy, but due to our busy schedules and small apartment, it has been difficult to give him the time and attention that he desires. He is 9 months old now, with bi-colored eyes and is super healthy. He has all shots, rabies, microchip, and deworming done. He sometimes has a hard time with cats because he just wants to chase them, but we have never had any issues with them getting along. He would benefit from a house with a yard. He loves people and loves to play and always wants somebody around him. He is a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. He would be perfect for a stay at home mom or dad or someone very athletic that can exercise him often. He is the sweetest thing ever, and we are devastated that we have to rehome him. Reach out if you would like to meet him. **someone with experience with this special and rare breed would be the best fit

Story
Hi my name is Jax! I’m going to be 6 in December but still always down for anything! I can be lazy to hyper in moments but always find a calm point. I can be super attached to my parent and always protect and love them. I am a little mischievous and need some areas locked off from me like the trash and little pets I think they could be a squeaky toy. I’m afraid of men and intruders but once I see a treat or two they are my guests and I love them so much. I have never seen a cat before as a sibling but only the intruders in the backyard which I go chase and bark to get off my parents house. I get fed twice a day and have some dandruff that my current dad tries to take care of because he’s allergic. I am home trained and know where to use the restroom, but do you come home I may get too excited and pee a little. I love dog parks and to run, not too fond of catching a ball but I’d love to chase it. I’m not crate trained as I see it as a prison and try to escape. Love me and I’ll love you!

Story
Sad to post, but I need to re-home my dog Tyson . He is about 3 1/2 years old. Very sweet dog. Not socialized with other dogs or with young kids. Looking for a new owner that can give him the attention he needs- He is an inside dog - house trained. Needs a yard to play in. I don't walk him often, especially on the street because he drags his nails. Loves to fetch and play tug. I paid $5,000 for this dog and have all of his bloodline paperwork and microchipped. Looking for the right owner , I was going to sell him, but with new babies , he needs a new home asap. I work too much , and the area I live in is too hot to keep him outside while I am away, otherwise I would keep him and possibly stud him as well.
