Story
She was found in a yard and adopted. She was given the name Chili. She is a very sweet dog who likes to smile at you, she also lays with her legs crossed and only sleeps upside down. She loves to lay on top of you and sleep in your bed all night. She does tend to tare up things when she is left alone or just with another dog. She gets along with our current dog great and has no issues with kids. She also likes running around and is an extremely fast runner. She is the sweetest dog just doesn't work with our busy coming and going schedule. She deserves a good home!!!

Story
Meet our 8-year-old bundle of contradictions: the energy of a puppy, the soul of a velcro strip. This handsome gentleman is searching for his person, someone who won't mind a furry shadow following them from room to room, demanding belly rubs and outdoor adventures. -House-trained, non-destructive, and won't bark your ear off -Sunbathing champion who respects property lines (no fence needed!) -Walks are his love language -Completely ignores other dogs, he's in his own world -Fine with kids, but really vibes with adults -Has never bit He's a grazer (eats when he feels like it) and needs LOTS of attention. We adore this dog, but our young kids mean we can't give him the constant companionship he craves. He deserves someone who wants a full-time best friend – someone home often, up for adventures, and ready to be worshipped daily. We're not just giving away a dog; we're carefully selecting his next chapter. If you're looking for a loyal shadow who'll love you fiercely, let's talk.

Story
Meet our beautiful bonded Standard Poodle sisters. They are purebred, five years old, and while not littermates, they have grown up together and must be adopted as a pair. They are inseparable playing, resting, and thriving side by side. We brought each home as puppies from top-quality breeders and invested over $5,000 per dog. More importantly, they have been raised with exceptional care, love, and attention. They are healthy, intelligent, affectionate, and emotionally intuitive. They love the water, chasing each other, and joyful outdoor play. This decision comes with heavy hearts. Our life has become wonderfully full with grandchildren and a thriving business, and these girls deserve more time, adventures, and daily engagement than we can currently give. This is about putting their needs first. We are seeking a loving, stable home that understands bonded dogs and values them as true family members. We are not rushing this process and will carefully select the right home.

Story
I’ve had Ruger for 7 years and purchased from a Doberman breeder in Florida… brought him home at 13 weeks. He’s a “Velcro” dog lol, loves to be with you and is very loving and loyal. Zero aggression towards adults or children. He was raised with two very small dogs who he was totally submissive to lol. Plays well with most larger dogs, but introduce with caution. If another dog shows aggression, it’s a no. If they want to play, he’s all in. Totally house trained, I can’t remember the last time he had an “accident” in the house. He does have food/allergies so he eats a specific diet, readily available in the local store, not the expensive prescription food and does excellent. Ruger is a gorgeous dog and I get compliments on him daily. He has a large callous on his right elbow with a skin tag, common in large short hair dogs from laying on hard surfaces. The vet says it’s totally “cosmetic” and I’ve just not had the time to have it removed. Just had his wellness check and shots.

Story
I adopted Finn from a foster home. He had been severely neglected by the people he was with prior to me. I worked with him, got him a trainer, and he is an incredibly sweet and loving dog. Unfortunately, he is very dog reactive/aggressive which I can only assume is because he was abused by previous owners with dogs. He also hasn’t taken to my son who is one. Not sure if this is a jealousy thing or what since it was always just him and me. He needs a home where he can be the center of attention with no other animals or small children. He is around 6 years old, again, very loving and sweet. Loves to cuddle and give hugs. He loves to sun bathe and hang outside. I wish he could have a massive yard to get zoomies in and just have a lot of space. He would be a wonderful addition to the right family.
