Story
Oreo is 5 years old. Bday 10/30/21. House trained, crate trained, good with other dogs. Hes fine with kids my kids could climb on him and he didnt care, never growled, just would move away. He never bothered our cat inside but outside will chase a stray cat, squirrels or ducks. He knows sit, house (to go into crate) paw, speak, lay down, come, potty (to go outside), no beg. Likes water/swimming. Hes mostly chill & likes to sleep but still gets zoomies when you take him outside. Id like wherever he goes to send me an update maybe once every few months. Its not easy for me to do this. He has a anti-slip harness. No bed or crate as he sleeps on our bed or the couch. I want to make sure its a good fit and he doesnt end up on the street or shelter. Hes a sweet boy. He thinks hes a small lap dog and wants to sit on you.

Story
Her name is Charisma. One of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet, but very hyper/anxious. She likes to cuddle in bed at night and hog a lot of the space. She needs a big yard for her to run around mindlessly and exert her energy. She is crate trained and potty trained but will have accidents on occasion in new areas/if not tended to quickly enough. She’s not much of a chewer, rarely chews on furniture or shoes or etc, but has happened before out of boredom. She’s a lot to deal with but she also gives intense amounts of love and affection.

Story
Six years ago, I adopted Jax in Jacksonville, Florida, and he's been my loyal companion ever since. We've been through a lot together, and he's truly become my best friend. Jax is a wonderful dog—well-trained, gentle, affectionate, and very low maintenance. He loves being around people, enjoys spending time outdoors, and is happiest simply being with his family. He's healthy, well-behaved, and has always been a faithful companion. This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, but my job now requires me to travel for extended periods—sometimes for months at a time. It's simply not fair to leave Jax alone or without the love and attention he deserves. I'm looking for a forever home where he'll be treated like family, not just as a pet. My priority is finding the right person or family who will give him the love, care, and companionship he's always known. If you think you can provide Jax with that kind of home, I'd love to hear from you. This isn't about finding him just

Story
Gus has Addison disease. He requires a steroid pill every day at supper time and once a month he has to go to the vet to have a cortisone shot. He's a very happy, playful, loving pet. I truly hate to let him go, it's the expense I can't do. I was caring for him for a friend that had to go to a nursing home. He was still paying for Gus's medical care. He has sense passed away. Therefore I had to absorb the expense.
