Story
Milo is only with us due to his owners passing and there was no one that could take him.  He is a sweet 11 yr young senior, that loves to be with his people, but is a little tentative around other dogs.  He loves to go for casual walks, car rides & loves to play with his toys and is very smart.  His foster mom taught him how to sit in only 5 try's. Who said an older dog couldn't learn a new trick.  But is very favorite thing to do is just hang out with his people, getting belly rubs and cuddles.  Are you looking for a sweet friend to watch movies with or to take leisurely strolls in the park on on the dog beach with?  Then Milo might just be the the guy for you.  **Milo would prefer to be an only child and no small children**  https://www.fluffanimalrescue.org/milo-s-page-m ##953811##

Story
Honey was found with one of her pups one night walking on the road. She was taken in and fostered back to good health, eating well and getting her weight back up, nurtured and house trained, and up to date on vaccination. She needs love. She does well with other dogs, but certainly likes to seek out attention. She will jump the line to be given some affection, and will lay on you on the couch or in bed given the opportunity. She is crate trained and does well when asked to go to her crate.

Story
Peanut is well behaved we got her from a friend whose lab had a massive liter; she was a runt. She is about 7 years old. She is playful, loves walks, kennel and house trained. I have to rehome her due to having to downsize due to my husband's passing last year and needing to relocate for a new job. I’m hoping to rehome her to have a loving home with room to run and play.
