Story
This is a very sweet blue eyed corgi. I recently purchased her as a surprise for my family but unfortunately my family isn’t ready for a new puppy at the moment. So far she seems really sweet and loves to play. She loves playing with water from the hose and tug of war with ropes/ stuffed animals. She really likes people but also seems independent and will chill out by herself or in her crate. If you think you would be a good pet parent for her let me know!

Story
I rescued Ruckus 6 years ago when I was living in Lake Tahoe and I was extremely active outdoors. I was able to give him a lot of exercise daily. I live in LA now and I just can not give him what he needs. He is very affectionate, loyal, intelligent and loves mental and physical activity. He is great with other dogs and lives with a cat as well. He can hyper fixate on the cat when humans are giving the cat attention, because of his herding breed nature, but he has never been aggressive a day in his life. He is 10 but he has the physical health of a 3 year old dog. He loves toys, balls, and treats. He is an incredible companion, he just needs someone to give him a better life than I can. Please consider loving this sweet boy, he deserves the world.

Story
Hi! This is Donnie I rescued him from a shelter because he was about to be euthanized. In an attempt to save his life I adopted him. Now that he is here I’ve come to accept my home is too small for two pit bulls two cats and two adults. He’s still young and needs someone who is active and adventurous. He’s a sweet guy I don’t think he realizes how big he is. He is curious as heck! He likes cuddles and belly rubs. He likes playing with toys and is very food motivated. He’s honestly a great boy and if I had the space he deserves then I would be happy to keep him. I’ve been with him a short time and he’s won my heart. I hope he can win yours. I will be taking him to a professional trainer to enhance his great qualities. Something incredibly cute I’ve noticed is he loves smelling flowers while on our daily walks. He’s always happy to greet me in the morning and ready to spend time with his big foster sister Mavis

Story
She’s been an amazing addition to our family. We have had to move recently from our family home and we have been unable to rehome her. It breaks my heart to have to rehome her but are left with no other options. She is a little rambunctious and gets excited loves to hug and talk. She’s mostly been an outside dog. We do bring her in at night and she sleeps in a crate.
