Story
Bella has been a phenomenal dog for our family. She is well trained and very sweet. As bulldogs are she can be stubborn but nothing out of the ordinary. She is great with other dogs. Loves to play, sleep and eat. She’s 9 year and still doing great. We’ve never had health issues with Bella. She’s been perfect in that regard. She loves to cuddle and is friendly with everyone. She loves meeting new people asking for someone to rub her.Bella is potty trained and is very well behaved with our belonging. She have never chewed anything other than her food and her toys. She communicates really well when she needs something like more food, potty or wants to play.With our 2 toddlers and an infant we are not able to give Bella the time and attention she needs. We feel that she could be in a better situation for her with a family or individual that can focus on her more than we can. It’s a tough decision but we feel we are doing the best thing for her. A home with a yard would be ideal.

Story
Bandit is an almost 3yr old mix we adopted when he was 6months. He’s typically easy going unless you are trying to walk him with a dog within sight, that’s when he loses his mind and it’s very hard to snap him out of it. Hes great with my nieces and nephew who are all under the age of 6. His favorite place is under the blanket. He’s on seizure meds and has bad allergies. He knows how to do a couple cool tricks. He’s very picky with his food and sometimes refuses to eat. He plays okay with other dogs unless he has something like a ball or hole he dug to resource guard then he gets snappy. He currently lives with our other dog who he gets along without problems because she is super submissive and backs away if he growls. He loves cognitive toys and the find it game. I’ve tried using a flirt pole but he loses interest after 5 minutes. Something like swiftpaws would be ideal for him. We love him dearly but it’s gotten to a point that I can’t deal with and we are moving to an apartment.

Story
Jasper came to us in January of 2020. He’s has always been a loving and cuddly dog! With the new addition to our family we feel as though he’s lost a lot of attention and affection from us and we know he deserves better. He’s a great outdoor adventure dog. Can go off leash on hikes or at the beach! He’s never been aggressive with us, our children, or other dogs. He’s a good swimmer and could honestly spend hours swimming in the pool or the ocean. If he’s not ran out he will dig holes, and I mean big ones! So getting him out is important to his happiness. I hope you see how amazing he is the way I do because he’s genuinely a good dog, we just don’t have the time for him or his needs so it’s really been a hard decision to make but I want what’s best for him. Keeping him cooped up isn’t fair and I wish we could do more but that’s why I feel like a good active family would be the best for him.

Story
Meet Nala! ❤️🐾Nala is a sweet, loyal Chiweenie who loves cuddling, burrowing under blankets, and spending time with her people. Once she bonds with someone, she is incredibly affectionate and devoted.Due to an upcoming move, we are looking for the right home for Nala. She would do best with an experienced adopter who can provide a calm, structured environment. Nala must be the only pet in the home, as she does not do well with cats or other animals.Nala can be protective of food, treats, favorite resting spots, and the people she loves. She may also be reactive on walks around unfamiliar people or dogs. Nala has skin allergies so she will itch at her ear constantly as well yeast will clump off her skin. Nala is house-trained, microchipped, spayed, and current on vaccinations. With patience and understanding, she will be a loving and devoted companion. Nala will come with a cage and bedding. ❤️

Tati is a sweet, loving 4-year-old girl who weighs about 45 lbs. She’s affectionate, playful, cuddly, and loves being around people. She’s great with children, enjoys spending time outside, soaking up the sunshine, and getting lots of love. She’s house-trained and knows how to follow directions. Tati would love a family who can give her the time, attention, and forever home she deserves. She’s been a loved member of our family, and we’re hoping to find her the perfect home where she’ll be just as loved.

Story
Bella is almost 10 years old. We got her from a breeder in Tennessee. She's purebred old english bulldog. She's great with kids of all ages, has never bitten anyone. Gets along very well with medium and larger dogs, not so much little loud ones but has never been aggressive. She's never met a stranger, and loves getting all the affection and attention. She likes to play but gets worn out quickly like most bulldogs. She's house trained, crate trained, and mostly leash trained. The only strange thing is she doesn't like windshield wipers in the car. She barks at them like she feels threatened.
