Story
🌟 **Looking for a Loving Home for My Best Friend** 🌟 It’s with a heavy heart that I share this. Due to unforeseen life circumstances, I am seeking a new loving home for my amazing 4 year-old German Shepherd, Gunner. He has been my loyal companion and brings joy to everyone he meets. Gunner is gentle, playful, and has a wonderful temperament. He loves long walks, belly rubs, and cuddling on the couch. However, he does need to be in a single-pet home, as he doesn’t do well with other animals. This isn’t an easy decision for me, but I truly want what’s best for him. If you or someone you know is looking for a furry friend to love, please reach out. I want to ensure he finds a safe and loving environment. Thank you for understanding and for your support during this difficult time.

Story
Hello! My name is Samuel but you can call me Sammy! I’m a 3 year old Bernedoodle and I love to cuddle. Don’t get me wrong, I do love going on long walks too! However, those walks have to be private since I have terrible anxiety 😥 I can’t help it but this only means that I need an experienced human who knows how to suit my needs. Once I am comfortable with you and my surroundings, I relax a bit and not as reactionary. I will do anything for a treat! I must warn you, I am very allergic to chicken. My beautiful fur and skin falls out! Treat me to a nice salmon, lamb, or beef dinner 🐶 I am energetic, cuddly and ready to fill your days with never-ending love… as long as you give me treats 😉

Story
Rev is a sweet goofy loving boy who has not had it so easy. He has gone through multiple homes and was abused by some. I was able to take him in for a few months and give him the love he deserves. He does have separation anxiety that I have been working with him on and he has come a long way. He is great with other dogs and loves to make friends. Rev is full of energy and has so much love to give. He is a loyal and compassionate dog who just needs someone to love him as much as he will love you.

Story
Meet Ceebo!A big-energy boy with a soft heart and a thoughtful approach to the world. Ceebo is a little cautious at first, but underneath that gentle uncertainty is an active, playful pup who's ready to shine. He's successfully lived with cats and some dogs, and while he doesn't feel the same way about every canine he meets, he does well with the right match and respectful introductions. This guy has energy to spare and loves a good hard chew toy-seriously, they're his favorite. Ceebo would thrive with plenty of enrichment like puzzle toys, training games, and fun activities that keep his brain busy and his confidence growing. Ceebo is recommended for a family with older or no children and if a multi-dog household, he'd prefer a sister! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 64.2 Age: 3yrs 6mths 0wks
