I acquired Fezco when he was newborn from a breeder. Now Fezco is 2 years old. He is so lovable and well behaved dog. Unfortunately I am moving out of the country or else I keep him. I love to find him a new home with a family that love those kind of dog, and take care of his needs.

Story
Charlie is a 4 year old tan and black labrador retriever. Born on July 10, 2022. He's a good boy, listens well, and food motivated so he's easy to train. He's eager to please for some love and attention. He's a good and healthy boy. He's had health insurance and been on a wellness program his whole life. He's an inside dog. He's gentle around children and gets along with other animals. We are very overwhelmed with life right now and we fear he's being neglected and not getting the treatment and attention he deserves. We have a toddler, and a newborn as of June 15, 2024 and cannot take care of everyone well with my partner's job being more demanding and little outside help.

Story
Unfortunately i wont be able to take care of my lovely almost 5 year old dog. We have a second baby on the way, I work insane hours of the day and I’m hardly home to spend time with her. Its tough to know she needs time and I am unable to give her the time she deserves. She deserves to be with someone who can give her the life she has been looking for. * Austrialian Kelpie & Siberian Husky * 34 lbs * 5 years old on Oct 19th. DOB: 19OCT19 * I obtained her via a Craigslist posting; ever since she was 8 weeks of age she has been with me. * I have her documents proving she has her annual shots and rabies if needed. * She loves people, she can be a bit “howly/chatty” when she gets excited with all her huskylike energy built up. * No bite history, she would rather lick you to death to be honest. * She loves playing catch/ball, sometimes she brings the ball back to ya if she remembers lol. * Great at socializing with other dogs and people especially at dog parks, always trying to play wit

Story
Sweetest baby needs a loving and patient home. We got her out of a bad situation and need to see her go to her loving forever home. She has two modes this young, hyper play and floppy cuddly. She sleeps next to us all night, and sleeps soundly through 90% of nights. Sometimes she lets us know she needs to use the restroom. She is being housetrained, and MOSTLY goes on the pads, but occasionally only uses the restrooms *near* the pads. She's trying. Smart and friendly!

Story
BayBee's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous individual so when we approve the perfect adoption application for her, her adoption fee will be waived! This long and lanky chi mix will melt right into your heart with those big adoring eyes. Baybee (5-6 years old? 11lbs) was found as a stray and spent the first two days at the shelter hiding under her bed. A volunteer eventually coaxed her out and had an immediate friend. While timid and a bit skittish right now, Baybee wastes no time warming up to gentle humans and other dogs of all sizes. She loves to be next to people and is learning that a lap is a very wonderful place to be. She has grown leaps and bounds in her confidence after only a few days in her foster home. She does well with her foster siblings (male and female), appears to be potty pad trained, walks on a leash, and sleeps through the night in her own bed. She loves to stretch her long body and drag herself across the floor as if she's swimming - very entertaining! Baybee can be a little skittish in noisy areas like cities etc. She would do best in a home in a quiet neighborhood. We have not tested BayBee with cats however she does take a big interest in critters outside and chasing them. This leads us to believe that she may be a cat chaser. *If you have a cat, we'd suggest a slow introduction with a safe space for the cat to jump up on or go to for personal space from a dog. A baby gate can work wonders for intros such as these*

Loving 12-Week-Old Toy Poodle Puppy Looking for a New Home We are sadly looking for a new loving home for our precious 12-week-old male Poodle puppy. He’s been a wonderful companion, full of love and energy, and it breaks my heart to let him go, but I want to ensure he finds a home where he’ll be happy and well-cared for. Here’s a bit about him: Age: 12 weeks old Breed: Toy Poodle Personality: Very friendly, affectionate, and full of energy Health: In great health and up-to-date on vaccinations Training: He’s been doing well with basic commands and is getting the hang of house training If you or someone you know is looking for a loving new furry friend, please contact me. The phone number is (xxx) xxx-xxxx . I’d be happy to provide more details or arrange a time for you to meet him. Thank you so much, Best regards, Ness
