Story
I rescued Gabi from a coworker in March 2023. She has been very sweet but extremely reactive to cars, people running and all dogs except my submissive male border collie and she is still very jealous. We moved in Feb 2026 to a small yard and I feel this environment is not the best fit. She is barky and we have houses close by. I was recently in the hospital and feel I can no longer give her the life she deserves. She grumbled but has never bitten anyone and is highly intelligent, but typical of her breed

Story
Hi my name is Sophie I am 5 1/2 years old and am going to need a little tlc, I came from a previous home where they had fleas and I had gotten allergic so I am missing fur and have some dandruff going on. I love to cuddle on the couch and eat all of the snacks. I’d prefer a home by myself so I don’t have to feel like I’m fighting for my place or food. I’m okay with kids but sometimes they make me feel a little skidish. I really hope you can pick me and give me the best care ever!

Story
Duchess is a beautiful 2 year old bully mix. She was rehomed to her current owners at abotu 6 months old and has been through an obedience board and train and does very well in our home with frequent visits with multiple outside dogs and children. She needs a home where she will get the attention and excercise she needs. Her current owners are facing several severe medical complications and are unable to give this girl the outlet she needs to thrive. A video showing obedience commands with distractions is available on request.

Story
Izzy is a very loving dog, she plays well with others and enjoys playing tug of war outside with them, or swimming in the pool with them. With my dad’s health rapidly declining and changing day by day I am not able to give her the love and attention she deserves. She does well in a crate but is on a strict bathroom schedule to prevent accidents both in crate and in house, responds great to treats
