Story
We have reduced our fee as we need to rehome our beloved Emma before the end of the month. We adopted her at 11 weeks and she is now 17 months old. She has great house manners and gets along with cats, dogs and children and loves everyone! She obeys Sit, Stay, Down, Wait, Here, Out, and Drop it. She is a great watch dog but is not an excessive barker. She will stop when told. She sleeps in her own bed & stays off the furniture, but she loves to be near us and snuggle with my grandson on the floor. She is nonaggressive, you can take her food away without fear she will growl or snap at you. She will not try to take your food from your plate, table, or counter. She is largely calm and quiet in the house but loves to run & play outside. She is still young and full of energy and needs an owner or doggie playmate that matches her energy level! She does not require an experienced owner, but we hope to find an owner who will be her "alpha" as we believe she will be happier that way.

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
🐾 Looking for a Loving Home 🐾Due to a major relocation, I need to find a wonderful new home for my dog.She was rescued after being found on the street with no microchip or vaccinations. Since then, I have had her spayed, vaccinated, provided veterinary care, and enrolled her in training.She is incredibly sweet with people and children and loves being close to her person. If you go somewhere, she will likely follow you—even to the bathroom! ❤️She is calm in the house during work hours and enjoys being part of the family. She would do best with a securely fenced yard taller than 4 feet, as she has escaped from my yard multiple times. She may bark at other dogs and needs someone committed to keeping her safe and continuing her training.My goal is to find her a loving, responsible home where she can thrive.Please message me if you are interested and tell me a little about yourself and your home.

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. Upon adoption I will have their vaccines and heartworm test up to date.
