Story
Tobias is two years old. He is very sweet and loving (lots of energy.) He was my uncles dog. However, my uncle would not properly take care of him. Therefore, I’ve been taking care of him. Unfortunately, I don’t have much time with work and school. It saddens me but he deserves a better home. Im looking for a loving home for him that will take good care of him. There is no adoption fee all I ask is for Tobias to be treated with lots of love. UPDATE: I got a letter from the mobile homes that pets are not allowed anymore. If you are interested or know someone please let me know! Thank you.

Story
He loves chasing balls, going on runs and chewing on bones. He’s a little afraid of water but when leashed and reassured he’s good with his hose baths. His name is Leonidas but responds to Leo. Can’t have him at my apartment anymore, also he’s an outside dog. I trained him to walk with and without a leash but don’t know how he’ll respond to a new owner. Just want to find him a good home.

My name is Buddy Holly I am a 4-6 year old, well manicured Red Nosed bully. I have golden, pouty eyes and a red coat that sparkles in the sunlight. Im bashful and a big baby. A typical day for me consists of pretty much lounging around all day with hourly power naps and I keep in shape by frolicking in the yard for whole seconds & minutes at a time. I love getting rubs. Im completely house trained & keep my kennel clean. I love other dogs but we are not sure about cats. Love all people! I come with the following: XXL Dog Kennel New | 1 XL Washable Kennel Pad New | 1 XL Waterproof Kennel Bed New | Fluffy Security Blanket (must have) | 1 Kong Monkey (baby) | No-Flip Food & Water bowls New | 1 30lb Bag of dry Dog Food | 1 Arcadia Trail HD Harness New | 1 Arcadia Trail HD Rope - Lead New I will be vaccinated, neutered and microchipped for my new owners. My new family is going to love me. More videos of me and my foster sister on YouTube :)

Story
Hello I have had ivy since she was a puppy, she is 8 years old and unfortunately we lost our house and had to move into a small apartment. Ivy is not adjusting well and I know she misses having her backyard. Ivy is very loving and loyal. She takes a while to warm up to other dogs but she eventually does. She’s good with kids and seniors. She is house trained and does good on walks. I want her to enjoy her years having her space and with a loving family. I promise you ivy will be a good addition to your home ❤️
