Story
Marlie is a 3 year old sweetheart. She is short and stubby and the calmest dog I have ever met. She is a big couch potato and takes it easy. Loves chew toys and has a very playful but relaxed personality. I adopted her from a rescue as a puppy at 3 months old and she has lived with other dogs her whole life and with a cat for a short time. She does not need a big yard or much to be happy. If you are looking for a calm but cuddly and affectionate young girl she is perfect for you! No rehoming feee because I just want to find her a good family or person.

Story
Rocco is a very good boy. He needs a home that has so much time for him and patience. He is a big dog roughly 85lbs-90lbs. He loves to play hard. His favorite game is fetch! We took him in for a friend who didnt have time for him but unfortunately he has shown signs of possible food aggression and has growled at my kids a few times and I can't look past that. So a home with maybe older kids or none. Like i said he is a good boy very smart he just needs to be with child free home. We have a cat that he does not bother hes very good with him. I am not so sure about other dogs. We love him so much and this is such a hard decision. We want him to find the most perfect home to live the rest of his life happily.

Story
Meet Stella! 🐾 Stella is a sweet, affectionate, and playful little girl who turned 2 in August! She absolutely loves cuddling, traveling, and spending time with children. She has so much love to give and would make a wonderful companion. Although we love Stella dearly, we believe she would thrive in a home where she can be the only pet. Unfortunately, she and our 9-year-old Yorkie have experienced some dominant behavior toward one another, and we want what is best for both of them. We are looking for a loving forever home where Stella will receive all the attention, affection, and care she deserves. A brand-new travel carrier will also be included! Our priority is finding Stella the perfect family who will love her as much as we do. Adoption Fee: $499 Please contact me if interested (xxx) xxx-xxxx )

Story
I got her when I was 9y/o and was never taught or helped to raise her so I never trained her. We both left an abusive house this year in may she doesn’t do good with loud noises like yelling,throwing things, seeing people hit each other or acting like your going to hit her. Her birthday is July 15 she is 10 years old she has a brother at my older sisters house that she grew up with she already had a litter of babies please don’t use her like that I want her to have people by her side for her last years but me and my fiancé work long hours and I think she may have a UTI but I cannot afford to get her checked by vet she’s gone to vet before for shots I don’t remember the last time she got one. I want her to live somewhere where she’s safe and healthy.
