Kali is a great dog. She loves cuddles ,playing ball and walks. She is crate trained, but it is not necessary. I am currently working 2 jobs and can no longer give her the attention she needs. All of her belongings are yours to take. This includes but is not limited to her crate, bed, food and toys.

Story
Luna and Grey were born from the same litter of 10 dogs. Luna and Grey are sisters and brothers. My daughter had them both since 2017. They are adult dogs, but they are the sweet, energetic, and fun-loving dogs. Love car-riding and playing outside. They have always been around family. They love to cuddle, protect, and are amazing emotional support dogs. Luna and Grey do have sensitive skin. The pet food I recommend is Authority Adult/Senior Food. They have had their rabies shots. Due to my current situation, I am not able to provide the financial and proper care that they need. I am looking for a family or someone who is willing to take them both into their loving care. Young or old, every dog deserves a home. Luna and Grey have always been together and they love each other.

Story
Olivia is a playful, affectionate, people‑loving dog who truly believes she’s a lap companion. She wants to be near her humans constantly and thrives on connection. She listens well and has a sweet temperament, though she still has a bit of training to work on. Olivia does not do well in a crate and will howl or bark if confined, so she needs a home with a yard, space to move, and someone who doesn’t rely on crating. I’m currently navigating health concerns and preparing for a relocation, and as hard as this is, I want Olivia to have the stable, loving home she deserves. She would do best with someone who enjoys an affectionate shadow, has patience, and can give her plenty of companionship.
