She is a 1 year old, playful girl. She is super energetic, loves to play with my kids. She was one of the puppies from a friend’s litter. I am looking for a loving home for her. She has lots of energy, needs a family who is patience, she can be scared of new people but does warm up very fast, needs with lots of love. Unfortunately, my new home doesn’t allow animals and I can’t accommodate her. Looking for the best home possible. She is pad trained, loves to play with toys. Please ask any questions about her, I am happy to answer.

Story
Oreo is a very shy but energetic dog. He is quiet but is very playful. He loves to play with his brothers and enjoys playing with kids. He prefers to chill rather than play most of the day. He has a beautiful fur coat with spots all over, which is why we call him Orea. Oreo was born on February 14th 2024, from a Cocker Spaniel named Mazie and a German Shorthair Pointer named Bruno. He is very friendly around other dogs. As you can tell from the photos, Oreo has Cherry Eye, which is not painful and can be removed through cosmetic surgery. It is just a genetic condition, but it does not negatively affect him at all. Oreo would benefit from a loving person or family that plays with him and offers him a home that cares and gives him space to grow. He cannot wait to meet his furever home :)

Story
Luna is a 3-year-old spayed female urgently looking for her forever home before she is placed in a shelter. She is up to date on all vaccinations, fully potty trained, and very dog-friendly. While she enjoys being part of a pack, she can also thrive as the only pet in a loving home. Luna loves simple adventures like walks and dog parks and has a gentle, adaptable nature. She spent her early life indoors, but recent changes have required her to adjust to living outdoors. Despite this, she remains sweet, resilient, and eager for connection. Time is limited, and Luna needs a family willing to adopt her now. She is not asking for much—just stability, love, and a safe place to belong forever. If you are ready to open your heart and home, Luna is waiting.

Story
Mr. Noodle is an energetic dog; he is always playing and loves attention. He has a very beautiful coat that is covered with spots. He is silly and always loves to walk around because he is very curious. Mr. Noodle is very confident and aware of his surroundings, and he responds very fast when you call him. He is protective and likes to guard the home. Mr. Noodle was born on February 14th 2024, from a Cocker Spaniel named Mazie and a German Shorthair Pointer named Bruno. Sometimes he wants extra attention, so he gets into scuffles with his brother. He would benefit from being the only dog in the house or being slowly acclimated to a new pack. As you can tell from the photos, Mr. Noodle has Cherry Eye, which is not painful and can be removed through cosmetic surgery. Mr. Noodles would love a loving family or person who plays with him and gives him lots of attention. He cannot wait to meet his furever home and someone to give him the love and patience he deserves :)

Story
Boba is a friendly, playful, and energetic dog. He loves to play with kids and other dogs. His favorite thing to do is take walks and play fetch.
