Story
Meet Magnus. A 150 lb teddy bear with a huge heart that carries huge love for his family. Magnus is 3 years old and has been with us since he was 10 weeks old. He is a family dog and his best buddies (besides his human) is a Pomeranian and a frenchie! Magus is obedient trained, sit, lay down, wait, leave it, and walks on a leash with a perfect heel on your left side. He is crate trained and loves to be tucked in with belly rubs at bed time. He is used to a routine IE: eats at the same time every day, nap time and bed time. He truly is the perfect boy with the best manners because he was raised with love and proper discipline. He will require someone who knows how to handle a large dog and who knows how to be the leader. He needs a home owner with a yard, active lifestyle (walking) and preferably another large dog who will be his playmate would be nice but not necessary to adopt. Though he is used to small dogs, they can’t play with him in the way he deserves. Serious inquires only!

Story
I adopted Milo when he was 8 months old from an animal shelter. He is currently 2 years old and the reason I have to re-home him is because my landlord will not allow me to keep him any longer, I am not in the financial position to move and I do not want to take my dog to the shelter, so I made the decision to find him a good loving home. He is a loving and cuddly dog, he needs to be introduced to other people and other dogs, but after he is well introduced he is a very loving, loyal, and playful dog. I would prefer if he goes to a home with no kids just because he is a big dog weighing 72 pounds and very energetic. PLEASE IF ANYONE IS WILLING TO GIVE HIM A GOOD HOME PLEASE CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE 2 WEEKS TO FIND A HOME FOR HIM.

Story
Toby is a very sweet chocolate yorkipoo. Unfortunately, Toby has severe separation anxiety. It has been that way from the first day we met. It has gradually improved over the past year but still can be difficult to manage. Toby would do amazing with someone who can be around a lot. (A family, retired individual, SAHM, work-from-home situation, etc. would definitely be a great fit for Toby.) I live alone and have a busy work schedule. I gave up one of my jobs recently (for various reasons) which has helped Toby to have company. But I can’t do that forever. Toby does amazing with my friend’s family (4 people, several pets) and I think it’s because he always has human contact (someone is usually at home or if everyone is away, it’s very brief). He LOVES to be held and cuddled. In fact, he’ll almost sigh in relief at being held.

Story
Had the dog from a pup. Was found in the desert. The dog is extremely friendly good with other dogs, I have yorkies and he gets along with them. I have never heard him growl ever. The yorkies get close to something hes chewing and hes never been aggressive. I do have to get rid of him because my yard is too small for him. Ive had him for 7 years. Hes healthy, strong, loves walks, and loves attention and affection. Will be heartbreaking to see him go but he needs more attention and affection and a bigger yard than we can give him now since we moved and my jobs interfere with my spare time. Please take him to a good loving home. Very good with kids, but he is a big dog and is clumsy sometimes lol but he is extremely friendly. Really good dog!!
