Story
Bubba is an 8 year old Rottweiler Shepherd mix. He is the biggest love bug. He loves to play, go for walks, and just hang out. He’s great with kids, cats and dogs. He was adopted at 8 weeks old and has only had one owner his whole life. Unfortunately, his human has lost their housing and want him to have the life he deserves for his final years. They are so sad to give him up but want what’s best for him. He does have a large kennel, bowls, blankets and toys that can be included.

Story
Koda Blue is a 6yo 70lb short haired (thick coat) red Siberian Husky mix. Up to date on rabies. But for needing leash work & having a high prey drive, Koda is fantastic! He was raised with small children- he is SO gentle. He doesn't play with toys, & is awkward when he tries to play at the park but does like to run around. He might play wrestle with you gently, if you get down to his level, & will sometimes play indoor fetch. He is potty trained, & VERY well behaved. He likes to sleep next to you on the couch or bed, & LOVES to be brushed/combed. He adapted very well to apartment living, with a lot of socialization at parks/the beach, mental stimulation at home, & long walks. The reasons for re-homing are do to changes in my health. You can message me for a link to a Google Drive folder with more information, records, pictures, videos, & his training logs.

Story
We adopted Stella from a rescue in Mexico when she was 6 months old. By that time she had already survived parvo and distemper! She is a sweet dog but does have anxiety and would do best in a house with a yard and no children. We are finding her a new home because she has started growling at our toddler. She loves to relax at home and run around our backyard, due to her anxiety she does not like to go on walks. Due to her illnesses as a puppy she does have arthritis that only affects her if she runs too much. She also has history of ACL repair to both back legs and a surgery to her right front leg to correct a damaged radial growth plate (all 3 surgeries were in the first year we had her and she has not had any since then).

Story
Hazel is a sweet delicate soul. She has been with us the past 5 years and this pains us to write this but it’s for her best. She has started escaping our home and nothing we do prevents her from getting out. Her ideal home will be land to roam during the day and a warm home to come home to at night. We think she may have some form of autism, as she is sensitive to certain sounds and hardwood floor. We want the best outcome for her remainder years.

Story
This is a very smart, very trainable, cuddly dog. He is my first dog, and I’m realizing I’m not a dog person. I want him to have a human that he is close with. He doesn’t have separation anxiety or tear the house up. He doesn’t even dig through the trash if I leave it out. He is a little shy at first, but he warms up and enjoys visitors. He LOVES the beach and dog parks. He jumps right in the car without any prompting, but he will whine a bit once you start driving. That has been improving, though. Please ask anything you want to know.
