Story
Princess Sparkles is an adorable 11-month-old Terrier/Shih Tzu mix looking for a loving forever family. I adopted her at 15 weeks old through a rehoming organization, and she has been a cherished companion. She is house trained, very smart, eager to please, affectionate, playful and full of personality. She gets along wonderfully with children and other dogs and loves walks, fetch, and learning new tricks. Mainly she loves being part of family activities. This is a heartbreaking decision, but after suffering a serious injury a few months ago, I am no longer able to provide the level of exercise that a young dog like Princess Sparkles needs and deserves. She has done absolutely nothing wrong-she is a wonderful dog with so much love to give. My goal is simply to find her a home where she can thrive, be active and receive the attention and companionship she deserves. Serious inquiries only. Finding the right forever home is my highest priority.

Bruno is a four year old Corgi- Border collie mix. He is neutered and up to date with shots. He is a very vocal dog and we are looking to rehome because our daughter has severe migraines and is unable to tolerate his barking. We have tried trainers but because we are such a busy family, we cannot provide the proper training and attention he needs for his barking,

Story
This is my best friend Ace, he is a 5 year old pure bred Belgian Malinois. I’ve had this sweet guy since he was 8 weeks old. Has been my world ever since, I got ace from a breeder as a birthday gift from my dad. Ace is just full of love, doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. It’s always so funny because people are so scared of his size until they meet him. He is potty/house trained. knows the following commands extremely well : Sit, Stand, Down, Spin, Heel, Place(sits in between your legs), Off, Go Away, Wait, and Jump. He goes absolutely bananas for any ball, he will do ANYTHING for it. Super energetic as most know it runs in their blood, and will learn and do anything possible with proper training. Now the reason i do need to relocate him. When I got ace as a gift, I was young, only responsible was high school & ace, my living situation was also different I has a really big back yard, pool.That’s just not the case anymore, and it breaks my heart to not see him have the space he needs

Story
Gibson is a 4.5-year-old French Bulldog and must be strictly an indoor dog. He is not suited for outdoor living and needs to be kept inside as part of the household. Medical: Gibson has masticatory muscle myositis (MMM), which was confirmed via biopsy when he was a puppy. He has been stable and in remission for over 3 years. He does require daily medication (oral Mycophenolate given twice a day) to maintain that stability. He currently has no issues with eating or jaw function. Behavior: Gibson is great with people, including adults and children. He is very submissive with humans. With other dogs he has resource guarding behaviors (food, toys, attention). When triggered, he can escalate quickly into growling and lunging and must be physically restrained. Because of this he needs to be the only dog in the home. Gibson also has severe separation anxiety that manifests as crying when he is alone, has shown no destructive behaviors. Gibson loves everyone he's ever met & adores snuggles.
