Story
Kali is a 2yr old old female pit bull, husky mix. She was taken in at 5 months after her mother died giving birth. Her and her brother made there way to our home. We supported them and took them in. Kali was recently hit by a car when she escaped from the yard. She has 3 working legs, but manages to get around just fine. She needs love and attention and I don’t have the time to give her that. I would love to have her happy with someone who can.

Story
Princeton is a beautiful male golden doodle, he is now 1 years old and very playful. I am currently in my RN nursing program and have a very busy schedule, I purchased him from the owner of his parents prior to getting accepted into my program and my schedule is too busy to love on him and care for him like he deserves. He is clean and up to date on shots he actually just got a nice haircut and grooming so he's not as fluffy right now lol but he's perfect, he uses the house pads for toileting and is potty trained well. Please help me to find a loving kind family that has time to play with him, train him more, and love on him.
