Story
We made the hard decision to rehome our beloved dog due to my husband's recently developed health issues. We adopted Emma as a rescue at 11 weeks. She has good house manners and has been through one month of professional training at age 6 months. She is now 16 months old and is a joy to have around. She is extremely friendly, obedient and non-aggressive. She is completely housebroken, sleeps in her own bed and does not jump on the furniture. She will not try to take food off the table, your plate, or your hand. You can take her food away without fear that she will growl or snap at you. She is a great watch dog and will stop barking when told. She gets along with cats and dogs and loves everyone! Her playful antics make us laugh every day. We hope her new owners will play with her (or have another dog to play with her) and who will enforce the good behaviors that we worked so hard to instill in her. Ten months of heartworm meds (worth $120) and her cot (worth $100) go with her.

Story
He’s a loving playful dog. He loves playing with toys. He has a lot of energy so needs a lot of attention and play time. Unfortunately the owner of my place won’t allow him to live here anymore. If I don’t give him to a loving family I will have to take him to the shelter. I will give you a free bag of dog food that comes with him as well as a new collar with a leash.

Story
Lua is a very sweet dog. I’m guessing 2-3 y/o. We were fostering for an old coworker and unfortunately we are moving and are no longer able to foster. We really wanted to be able to keep her, but are not able to take them with our sudden need to move. She did come with a sister who is also listed (Mia) and as much as I would love for them to go together, with our current circumstances and how fast we need to move, it is not required. She is great with my 4 year old, so sweet and patient, never has shown any aggression towards him and anyone. She does not like cats. We have 2 cats and she was not a fan. She was not aggressive towards them, but would bark and chase them. (I honestly think she was just scared of them) she is house trained and knows basic commands. Still trying to work on jumping, but does listen when you tell her “down” or “off” I am not charging a rehoming fee because I’m sure she needs her vaccines up to date. We haven’t received records from her previous owner

Story
Mia is a very sweet old girl. She is good with cats, other dogs and toddlers. She is house trained and knows basic commands. She loves meal time and will do a cute little dance when she sees you getting her food ready. I’m guessing she is about 8 years old. She is very calm and sleeps most of the day, but loves being outside and exploring. We were fostering for an old coworker in hopes we would be able to keep however, we have to move suddenly and unfortunately unable to take with us. I do have her sister, Lua here as well and would love for them to go together, but with the sudden move it is not required.I’m not doing a rehoming fee because I’m sure she needs her vaccines up to date. I am trying to get it done before rehoming, but I haven’t been able to yet. We have been waiting for their records from the previous owner, but they still haven’t provided them.

Story
This is Zinn, 12 years old, sweet old man. We have had him for a couple of years and he’s a good boy. He was actually an Award winning show dog before he came to us. Lavender pure breed. Low energy, fairly independent, not a mean bone in his body. I’m moving to NYC in August and it doesn’t seem like a fit for him. He likes a yard, lazy time, and doesn’t do well with flights of stairs. Its possible I can find a place with a yard, or a friend to keep him but if not I wanted to explore and see if there is a nice family or person who has room for this sweet chill boy.

Story
Mr. Bear is an independent and very intelligent dog. He loves to play fetch and guard his home and his person. He would definitely need a fenced in yard to play and run since Shiba's are known to love to escape and enjoy their neighborhoods until they are ready to come home. He is a gorgeous dog and would make any family very happy. Mr. Bear will need some training with sit, stay, and come, but he is otherwise a wonderful companion. He is housetrained and neutered and is up to date on all of his shots.The reason that I need to rehome him is that I recently moved in with my daughter who has a 3 year old son who was just diagnosed with autism. I believe that a child with autism and a young dog would not mix well so I would like to find him a good home.
