Story
This is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make, but I need to find a caring home for Koji. He is 11 years old, and is lovable, snuggly, friendly, and eager. He has always been a happy, cheerful companion, though he has become a little anxious with age. He’s great with dogs, cats, and kids and is fully vaccinated and house-trained. Koji takes one daily dose of Reconcile for anxiety and is very cooperative. He has plenty of energy for walks and outdoor time. He loves cuddling, following his person around, & being near people. Koji needs a calm, loving home with someone who works from home or has a flexible schedule. I work 12-14 hours a day, and while I take him to a dog sitter five days a week, he deserves more time and attention. He is such a loyal, affectionate dog and just wants love. He would do very well with another dog for companionship. If you or someone you know can provide Koji with a stable, loving home, please reach out. Please share to help him find his perfect home.

Story
Lady is 9 years old, I got her when she was around 5 wks old. She knows basic commands and is crate trained. She knows sit, stay, lay down, paw, sit pretty, bed, place (if you point to the ground and say it, she'll position herself between your legs and look up at you), toy, and "bang" (which is like play dead, you do a finger gun at her and she will roll to her side - though in her older age she only does this one about 20% of the time). I recently had a baby which is why I need to rehome her. She's generally good with cats, is NOT good with other dogs, and is not good with rough-housing or startling or loud sounds so she shouldn't be in a house with kids or babies. Lady would respond well to a home that can give her attention and continue training with her. She loves doing her tricks and playing fetch/running around the yard. She is incredibly smart and playful, but also anxious so she needs a home with experience raising dogs that can work with her.

Story
My HOA has a limitation on dog size of 35 lbs. Roxie is 60. So I am forced to rehome her. I'm heartbroken. I will be very selective on who gets her. Roxie is such a sweetheart. Absolutely gorgeous. Spayed. Up to date with all of her vaccinations. She is four years old and I've had her for three. She is extremely friendly. Never met a stranger kind of personality. Very well behaved. She rarely barks. And even knows a few tricks. Not an apartment kind of girl. Roxie needs room to run and play. She is muscular and plays hard. She is fine with larger dogs, but smaller ones are not good playmates for her. Text seven two seven two two four zero zero zero three for more info and to meet her.

Story
Hi! My name is Willow! I may look like salt and pepper, but i'm a total sugar rush! I'm looking for a home with someone who is an expert snuggler, and a play buddy in a hooman, tiny hooman, dog, cat, or all four! I love everyone I've met so far, although I'm a little shy at first. If you are someone who likes to shower your pup with Treats and Toys, I want in! Toys are so much fun that I'm happy playing by myself, but I share super well with everypawdy. I'd really like a dog brother or sister to play with and show me the ropes (literally!) I'm a smart and observant and I'm doing a pawsome job learning sign language. I even have a special sign for my own name! They say I'm a really user friendly pup, but don't just take my bark for it, let's meet pup...err....up!

Story
Nellie was purchased from a breeder and has been raised in a house with cats. She is also great with other dogs and children. She is super docile and loves attention. She would do great in a home with another dog but will also enjoy being the center of attention.
