Story
Hi, Jupiter is a gorgeous pure breed British Mastiff, DOB 12-17-2019. He is a great family dog, very affectionate and loving. Unfortunately, due to divorce, we've been forced to sell our family home. Jupiter is not taking the downsizing well. I would love for him to be with someone who can give him the attention and space he deserves. He has not been fixed, due to his size, the breeder said anesthesia is very dangerous for him. He is mellow and non aggressive however. He is in very good health. He loves to walk but truly loves to sleep even more. Please let me know if you think you can help get Jupiter into a great new home. Thank you.

Story
We adopted Oliver in May of 2018. He was young when we got him but the vet wasn’t sure how young, so he’s around 8 years old. He’s recently had a vet visit and dental cleaning and is in good health with 0 health problems. He’s active & loves walks. He’s cuddly and will always lay down next to you on the couch or bed. He can sleep for hours but also will perk right up if he sees you’re going outside. He is not good with other dogs and would need to be the only dog. On walks, he barks at other dogs so we do not get close. We love him so much but he needs a good, child free home. Our toddler tries to go near him all the time but he growls and runs away. We’re worried we can no longer provide the environment that he needs.

Story
My husband and I got Zeus from the shelter hours before he was euthanized. He was found abandoned on the streets and taken into shelter, where he got very sick and the shelter gave up on him. We rushed to get him the life saving vet care that he needed. With love and care, he completely recovered. He turned out to be the most loving, sweetest good boy. He was not house broken at all when he came to us. We have since gotten him neutered, crate trained, and working on potty training. He has come a long way, but still has accidents and needs a bit more time. He is good with dogs, incredibly patient with our special needs German shepherd who constantly bullies him. Once he feels safe and bonds with you, he will love you with all his heart and give you endless hugs and cuddles. He does need a lot of space or a yard and someone with an active lifestyle and the time to devote to his training and needs. He needs someone that will not give up on him again and love him unconditionally.

Story
Monica is a very sweet but anxious girl. She is medicated for her anxiety. She loves people and cuddling but has boundary problems in the amount of attention that she needs. Monica struggles with other dogs. While not outright aggressive she needs to feel dominant and will do her best to dominate other dogs in the household. I adopted Monica in 2022. She was previously owned by an unhoused man for the first six months of her life. I've recently moved in with my girlfriend who has a small dog who Monica consistently seeks to dominate. I have spent literally thousands of dollars on training but cannot afford to spend any more. As a result she spends a fair portion of her time in her room (a second bedroom) alone. I want nothing more than a good life for her and feel that I cannot currently provide it. Its my goal to get her to a home with an experienced owner who can handle a dog of her needs. Thank you.
