Story
We adopted and got provided professional training for her. She is exceptionally well-mannered, obedient, and gentle, with no destructive habits. She responds reliably to basic and advanced commands, walks off-leash, and recalls instantly. Wonderful with children, she adores other dogs and delights in daily walks. We seek a loving, active home ideally with another dog for the companionship and engagement she thrives on.

Story
I found stevie on the streets a few years back and the original owner was tracked down but refused to reclaim their pet. I kept her but it’s not something I have ever wanted for myself. She is a kind and loving dog that is house trained and quiet. She love to lay in the sun and will quickly find her favorite spots to chill out in your yard. She had a single puppy with her when I found her that was adopted out, but nobody wanted stevie and I couldn’t stand the thought of her being euthanized. She has no known health problems and is an easy dog. Loves to go on walks.

Story
We rescued Bruce 3 years ago after a hurricane. He had heartworm and needed a lot of care to get back to health. He is a very sweet cuddly pup. Unfortunately he has become aggressive with our other two dogs and has started escaping to chase after other dogs. We are a large family and do not have a fenced in yard that can give him the boundaries he needs or the space without our other pets to ensure their safety. Bruce is great with kids and family members. He does not do well with unknown dogs or people and will get intense with them if given the space. One of our dogs is currently pregnant and the need to rehome him has become pressing with her due soon. We want to make sure he goes to a loving home that can accommodate his needs.

Story
**Chance is Boston Terrier-American Pit Bull Terrier Mix** **He is not Neutered or licensed as yet, he is up to date with shots** Important, he needs a yard to run and play We live in a 55 older community & it is hard with the leash law to allow him to run as he should be able to, we take him to the dog park when able.Chance is still 2 1/2 years young and could be the best fur baby. He is loving, loyal, smart, a handsome boy and loves attention,We took him in to adopt for a friend......As he grows we can't keep up with his needs as needed.We would not recommend little children, older yes, little ones are too quick and he loves to play and jump around......He is crate trained, house and lease trained.

Story
Nea is a sweet, loving girl looking for a family that can give her the time, attention, and active lifestyle she deserves. She enjoys being around people and is affectionate with those she trusts. She has been spayed and is ready to start her next chapter. I care deeply about finding the right home for her and want someone who will treat her as a member of the family. If you think Nea would be a good fit for your home, I’d love to answer any questions and learn more about you to make sure it’s the right match for both of you.

Story
Meet Peggy ❤️ Peggy is a very sweet, loving girl who deserves a wonderful forever home. Peggy was adopted by my sister when she was just 8 months old. Her beloved dad passed away about five years ago, and sadly, Peggy’s mom—my sister—passed away a few weeks ago. Peggy is currently staying with a dear family friend who is giving her a safe and loving place to stay while everyone adjusts to this heartbreaking loss. I live in California and, unfortunately, I am not able to bring Peggy to live with me because of restrictions in my apartment. My biggest wish is to find Peggy a loving home where she will be cherished and cared for as much as she was by my sister. Peggy is a big lover who enjoys being around people and giving affection. She has been a much-loved companion and is looking for someone who will give her the love, patience, and security she deserves. She has not been around small children, so we feel a home with older children or adults would be best for her.
