Hi, My name is Libby. I am a spunky and very loving 2 year old pup. I love playing with young kids and my toys. I very much enjoy being cuddled and shown lots of love. Sometimes my love can be too much for other dogs, so I may be better suited in a home by myself or with a very tolerant friend. I am house and crate trained, and I know my simple commands. I really want to be your best friend! Here are my specifics: Fully Grown at 25lbs 2 Years Old Fully Vaccinated Breed unknown Eats dry food

Story
Hello. I have to rehome my beautiful American Bully. He is a great doggy but turns out the wife is allergic. She has tried using medications, all different types but does not help. We had to keep him outside but he was a indoor dog, just to try to help my wife's allergy. My bully is 18 months old and is very playful. he is house trained and crate trained and even my 5 yr old granddaughter is able to walk him. i do not want him to be an outdoor dog so looking for someone to take care of him and be part of a new family. thank you so much.

Story
Hello friends! My name is Julian I'm a 5 month old puppy. I'm neutered, vaccinated and ready for fun. I was born on March 1st 2023 and I weigh 19lbs and I'm just a ball of cuteness and personality! I'm fun to watch, always running and playing and full of zoomies. I am young and energetic I love to play around the house I get along well with everyone and anyone including children and cats. I greet everyone I meet with kisses! Some of the things I like to do are run around my yard exploring, ride in the cars and go for (short) walks and just be with my family!! I'm good with the male and female dogs in the home and other easy going dogs! I'm doing great and having fun running with new doggy friends! I know how to "sit" and "shake" and I'm a very sweet pup!
