Story
I had a coworker who found Ollie and went and took him to see if he was chipped and he wasn't. He was not able to keep him so I decided to take Ollie in! I’ve had him for a little bit now but now that I am expecting a child towards the end of July it is harder to try and take care of him. He definitely likes to run and needs enough area to do so, he hasnt been around other animals so I dont know how he does. Anytime Ive had anyone over he is super good with people, just a hyper dog that loves to be loved on. I believe he is around 4 years old and I know that he is neutered. I wish he could stay with me but I think a home that fits him more would make him a lot happier.

Story
This is Doug. He just turned 3 in April. I've had him since he was 12 weeks old. Life has a funny way of changing in ways I can't control and he deserves better than what I am able to offer now. He is a great companion, loves walks, loves the park. He needs to be a solo dog without children. He does great with older kids. He was raised with 2 cats that he has done amazing with, but I'm not sure how he will fair to new cats, I'd lean towards fine. He is a happy boy. He has common sense, isn't crazy and can chill. He's wonderfully potty trained and goes to the door when he needs out. Does not chew things, loves playing fetch. Would do better with a yard than apartment living unless you're able to take him out all day.-3 years old-Flat Coated Retreiver Mix-Neutered-Leash trained-House trained-Up to date on all Vaccines-Gave him Flea and Tick, heartworm prevention this month.We'd like to interview and meet the adoptive parents. He's a great boy and deserves a great home.

My husband and I cannot give Molly the attention she needs. She is full of energy and needs someone's undivided attention for more hours in the day than we have at this time. We picked her up as a stray and got her healthy. She is spayed and up to date on shots.
