Story
Venus is a great Dog, very intelligent and loves hugs. She's missing her right ear and has a few scars from her previous owners. She was a rescue dog after all. She loves to cuddle and loves to eat. Anything she can get her mouth on haha. Try your best to keep an eye on her. She is an expert escape artist. She know's how to get out of most cages. She loves the sofa and loves to snore. She is very territorial over her food. If multiple people feed her that is the best. Be slow and calm around new Dogs, People and cats. She hates Cats and Squirrels. She gets along with Dogs of all sizes, just make sure you read the other Dog before approaching(Ask owner if friendly). I'm not a dog trainer but if a dog is barking, stay away from that Dog. She loves high pitch voices and kisses on the forehead.

Story
Hello, my names Dixie. I am 10 years old, 45lb ball of life and love. My mommy got me when I was 8 weeks old and loved me for a long 7 years but passed away from cancer and I almost went to the shelter so her granddaughter took me in and loved me as her own even though she knew she couldn’t afford it and is now in a really rough spot and has to move and can’t take me with her. I’m a good girl, I am house trained and I have the best recall. I will walk with you wherever you go. I don’t do any fun tricks but I love to play outside with balls,ropes and if I’m super excited I like to pick up rocks. I would do good with an active or a calm family as I do enjoy being a couch potato. I love friends of all kinds. Other dogs,cats, and kids whatever you have for me. My person says I’m perfect and I don’t think she’s lying so please take me to your home. I need a person to love for the rest of my life. I do have a small lump on my front leg that needs to be removed but It doesn’t hurt me at all.

Story
Koda is still a puppy. Turns one in April. Shots are up to date. He is crate trained and house broken. He does not like collars and has chewed through 4. He needs someone who has time to work with him and give him lots of attention. He is very good with kids and other dogs. He’s afraid of cats. He is not a fan of being walked on a leash and tries to get away when a car drives by. Over all a good dog but we just don’t have time with our schedules to give him the correct attention. Will help with costs for neutering

Story
I have had Bella for 7 years and she has been great for all 7 of them. She has been around cats and dogs of all sizes and has done fantastic. She even helped me raise a litter of chaweenie puppies. She is a gentle dog but has no problems playing and loves to go for walks and to meet new people. She loves to play fetch and has had some training and knows a few commands like sit, leave it, and heel. Overall she is just a great dog and it pains me that I need to rehome her but circumstances for me have made it so that I can not continue to care for her and give her the life she deserves.
