Meet Daisy 🌼 Daisy is a playful 1.5-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with lots of energy and love to give. She’s great with other dogs and loves to play, making her a fun companion for an active home. She’s not good with small animals, and her compatibility with children is currently unknown, so slow introductions are recommended. Daisy is looking for a loving home where she can stay active, keep learning, and be part of the family. 🐾💛

Story
She needs someone with a lot of time and patience to give her a chance. She has the ability to be an amazing dog. She was born 1/19/19. She loves to snuggle on the bed and play with toys. Going belly up to get pets is her favorite thing to do along with eating watermelon. Some of the behaviors listed below are why I have to rehome her: -broken out of kennels -SEVERE thunder/sound anxiety -stranger/fear aggressive -weary of strangers (I have a baby and she does AMAZING with her, unknown with other children) -fence fighting the neighbor dogs -jumping fences and going missing for 2 weeks -chasing small animals, deer, etc -stubbornness (ie not coming when called) It seems like a lot and it is. I don’t have the time she needs to help her. I have other pets and a child now and it’s not fair to her. I want her to have a good life. I see so much potential in her..I’m just not right for her. Please help.

Story
Kunja is a gentle, affectionate, and emotionally sensitive 2-year-old husky with a notably soft, people-oriented temperament. I adopted him as a young puppy and have raised him in a calm, home-based environment, and he settles well with consistency, presence, and routine. He is not an extreme or hyperactive husky; he enjoys daily movement and engagement, but is equally content relaxing near his person once his needs are met. Kunja is submissive with humans, very affectionate, and responds best to patience and attunement rather than force. I’m looking for a stable, attentive home—ideally with husky experience, regular access to outdoor space, and a calm household—that can offer him long-term consistency and care. Due to changes in my living and work situation, I’m no longer able to offer him the environment he deserves, and this rehoming decision is being made thoughtfully with his well-being as the priority. A modest rehoming fee of $75 applies and is flexible for the right home.

Remi is the absolute sweetest dog, she loves cuddles, playing with toys and Cat rides.
