Story
Koa is a 3 year old dachshund that we rehomed in May of last year from a friend. She loves to play and cuddle with her people, but she's not too great with other dogs. She has some issues with having accidental poop/pee in her crate and this is one of the driving forces for the rehome for me. We feel she will do well in a single dog household who can make sure she's outside and more readily able to meet her needs.

Story
We rescued Maggie from a local shelter 5 1/2 years ago. Within the last 10 months or so she has stopped getting along with our other dog. We are currently keeping them in separate rooms when we are not around.. When she is around our other dog when we’re there,, we muzzle her. She is really sweet with people, loves attention, going on walks, car rides, or curling up on a comfy couch or bed. She does have anxiety with storms and fireworks. As for her behavior, we think it may be just jealousy, as Vet could not find any other reason. We are looking to rehome her to someone with a no other pets and fenced in yard, and no young kids just as a precaution.

Chico is a puppy so he has lots of energy. He loves to be hugged and rubbed. He is very vocal when he needs to go potty or needs to be let in from outside. He likes to bark. Chico needs someone that can give him lots of love and walks. He loves toys and treats. He likes to sit outside in the shade. He is a big boy. He is up to date with all his shots. Every 17th of each month I give him Simparica trio. Looking for a good home for Chico. He needs someone who can dedicate time and patience. He doesn’t know his own strength. His is a goofy pup.

Lilly

Belgian Malinois

Female, Adult
Ocala, FL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Lilly, a 12 month old rowdy belgian malinois who was adopted from MCAS in December 2024. It was said that she was found in a crate on the side of the road. Lilly is a super high energy dog that requires a job. She's ready to do whatever you want to do. She gets alone with dogs of various sizes but can be reactive if another dog lunges and barks at her. She also gets along with cats. She's okay with children but I don't recommend small children as her size and energy can overwhelm or knock over a small child. Lilly currently eats Blue Buffalo with deboned lamb and brown rice. She loves bones and loves to chew on EVERYTHING! A watchful eye is needed for her. Lilly has some basic training but becomes easily bored with repetitive techniques. Why does Lilly need a new home? Lillys owners are not able to meet Lilly's needs. Again she's HIGH energy. Lilly needs someone who can work her several hours a day. Lillys mom is a nurse and isn't always avaliable.
