Story
Langston is a sweet and loving dog. Only 12 weeks old. I got him a week ago, and truth is, I can’t provide the home and care that he needs. My work schedule doesn’t allow much time for him, and to train him, I’m not equipped at that. He’s a puppy who needs someone that has the time and energy to fully invest in him. Included will be his crate, day bed, dog food, toys, and everything else that was purchased for him.

Story
We adopted Raya over a year ago after we had to put one of our dogs down. She is such a cuddle bug. Loves to lay with you, has to be touching you at all times. She is great with kids! Our toddler climbs on her and she just lays there. We are heart broken at having to re home her, but she started to not get along with our other dog. We tried everything. We paid for training, keeping them both on leashes, only allowing one out of their crate at a time. But they both deserve to be able to run around.

Story
Nyla is a very sweet dog, she loves people and kids. She gets along with some pets you have to take your time to introduce her to other dogs because she's very snappy. But I referred her to be with someone who needs emotional support because she loves to be cuddled with. She house trained but needs to be walk with a leash because she will run away. I really want someone who loves pets to give her the attention she needs 🙏🏾🙏🏾 thanks hope to hear from someone soon.

Story
This is my baby... I hate the fact that I have to let her go. Bottom line she is absolutely perfect. The only thing that she does not do is talk / speak back, however, she understands everything she is told, and she's more obedient than she deserves to be. Her temperament is on another level amazing. I'm looking for a special home and a special new owner that's gonna take care of her as good or better than I have.
