Story
Beans is a good boy he used to be my roommates dog and when they left they left him to me I took him in even though he isn’t my original dog. I love beans a lot but I wasn’t ready for all that’s required with taking care of a dog. I’m having to relocate back home to Alabama for. Few months and I cannot take him with me at this time. He’s house trained and pretty quiet his only real special need is that he only eats pet fresh dog food

Story
Meet Indy — a smart, loving young dog ready for her forever home! Born around April 2024, Indy is affectionate, loyal, and loves being close to her people. She enjoys walks, running, watching TV, chasing squirrels, and splashing in the water. Indy has lots of energy and would thrive with an active family who enjoys including their dog in daily adventures. She is very intelligent, food motivated, and eager to learn, making training enjoyable and rewarding. Indy may be shy when first meeting new people but warms up with patience and kindness. She does have some possessive behaviors with certain items and will need continued training, structure, and clear boundaries to help her succeed. Indy would do best in a calm home with older kids and as the only pet where she can receive consistent guidance and attention. She is house trained, crate trained, and sleeps comfortably at night. Indy is looking for a patient, loving home committed to helping her grow into an amazing lifelong companion

Story
I am a 5 year old Australian Labradoodle and love people and rubs. I am a little sassy and don’t like to share my toys with any other dogs. I like attention and unfortunately when I’m left alone for long periods of time I entertain myself my looking for food in a party to eat or a stuff animal to chew on or a near by trash to sort out. I get very excited when I meet new people and want to say hi to everyone but I do not like to me picked up.

Story
Due to unfortunate circumstances we have to rehome our sweet boy kai. He was adopted from the petco shelter. He has bad allergies so thats why you see a donut on his neck to prevent licking.He isnt handicapped or disabled just that he has allergies. We spray him morning and night on his belly and leave a cone on him when hes alone.he is so sweet but takes a awhile to warm up to a new person. He has bitten people before but only because they walked straight up to him.he gets along with our pomeranian. But we haven't tried introduction to other dogs.once he feels comfortable he is so loyal to the people around him. We have a mobile groomer that he trusts and likes. He will bite any regular groomer because of to much stimulation. If we thought he would be a true problem we wouldnt rehome him. He is so sweet and I hope he is loved unconditionally

Story
***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico*** Hello  My name is Briella and I am part of the B-Litter with my sister and my two brothers. When we were born, there were 8 of us and the family that my mom chose to care for us, was super nice, but they couldn't keep us all. So, we came to the shelter in the big city!  I need to admit, that for me everything was very hard. So many new smells, new people and new dogs! I was always very cautious about the humans. After spending over a year at the shelter in Zihuatanejo I have learned that humans definitely can be trusted. They are in fact very nice and are always happy to give me a gentle pet on the head or scratch my chin (favorite spot!! ) It will take me only a few moments to warm up to women, but I will need a bit more time with men. When I trust you, I give you my heart and all my love. I am very submissive and try to please you as well as I can! I will follow you around everywhere you go and when you stop and notice me and give me some cuddles, I am the happiest girl in the world! In the shelter we sleep in crates at night and I am totally fine with that. The other dogs are actually quite cool and I enjoy playing with them! I am very submissive and no dog has ever gotten into a fight with me - even though we had quite a few rowdies since I am here! - because I will just roll under them and show a lot of puppy behvaiour, so they know I am not a threat! Cats don't really bother me, they are just chilling and I am not afraid of them, which makes me think, I am very courageous! I am curious about new things, I will not hide, I am usually inspecting the new situation from a little distance. I really would love to have a home, with patient and calm people, that already have dog experience. Being part of a family is my biggest dream!  Another dog would also be great for me to learn from him/her and to give me confidence!  Hope to hear from you!
