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
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
Jersey is a big baby. She has been raised with my six kids since she was one year old. She is very protective but is not spayed. That may take her some. She gets along well with male dogs but not female. She played around with cats we’ve had over the years. She will paw you when she needs to go to the bathroom or do a dance if you ask if she needs to go outside. She has been a house dog her whole life until recently when we had to move in with family. Although she has loved me kids she scares others. She is now outside in a kennel at a family members home as we can not have her. We have tried rescued and the spca but with her breed and age (going on 11) and space issues I am at a stand still with no more time.
