~ I can live in a single family home.~ I want to live with dog savvy adults. I may be willing to consider sharing my home with teenagers who are familiar with large and rambunctious dogs.~ I have not had much experience with cats or dogs but am willing to consider sharing my home with a furry friend.~ I am a high energy kind of dog and am looking for a home where I can get lots of exercise every day.~ I am a great dog with lots of potential. I need a family who is familiar with owning large, hyperactive breeds and positive reinforcement training.~ I am still learning and want to get off to a great start in my new home, so I will need to continue my training.

Story
Ravioli is a 6 year old female black lab mix from Colorado. She has been well loved by a family with two young children, but they’re moving away. She loves to listen, is house trained, and has a clean bill of health (she has been spayed and has all of her vaccines). She’s good with kids, but would thrive in a house without other pets. She loves her naps just as much as she loves her walks.

Story
Meet Dewie! Dewie is a sweet, loving energetic dog that has a bit more excitement than we can handle in an apartment. He needs a yard! Dewie has a serious issue with chewing and had to have a surgery about 2 months ago to remove a phone charger and blanket. He is fully recovered. Vet recommended we keep him in a muzzle but it is making him depressed and I can’t bare to see him like that. If he can reach it, he WILL chew it. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve love. Dewie is 5 months old and we paid $2000 for him and $3000 for his surgery. The $1200 rehoming fee is non negotiable. He had his rabies shot and is up to date on other vaccines.
