Story
Rosie is a good girl. A little goofy but has a heart of gold. She loves being outside. She loves companionship and is very loyal. She needs a family that has a little more time to spend with her, take to parks, on walks etc. She is an awesome dog that makes me regret honestly having very little time with her due to work schedules. She loves company of all ages. We are not sure how she is around cats and other dogs. We have a small "lap" dog She gets along with most of the time.

Story
Her name is Meimei (pronounced May-May). We originally got her from a friend, and she’s been part of our family since she was a puppy. She’s crate trained (but not fully house trained yet) and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and no. Meimei is extremely playful and energetic. She grew up around our two young sons (ages 5 and 2) and is frequently around our nieces and nephew—she’s never had issues with children or other dogs. She’s been with our lab mix, Woody, since she was little, and the two of them get along great. She loves being outdoors and prefers to be with her people. She gets sad when she’s in the crate, but she doesn’t whine or bark to get out. Her favorite toys are stuffed animals (she tears through them pretty quickly), and she doesn’t like rubber or plastic toys. She eats mostly wet food and can be picky with dry kibble. Right now, she’s on Purina One Lamb & Beef, and sometimes the Sam’s Club version of the same flavor. Meimei is a sweet, loving dog

Sweet Rocky is great with other animals. He’s well behaved and very loyal. Unfortunately with my job sending me to various locations, I won’t be able to keep him after January 5. He has been great for my family, I really hope he can find a great home.

Story
We found Stevie abandoned in a parking lot as a few week old puppy. She is about eight months old now and has always been such a sweetheart. She loves people, dogs and all other animals so much and has been an amazing companion to us. Unfortunately we have never had the space, time or money for a dog and need a new home for her. She is an amazing and gorgeous dog that would be a blessing to anyone who can take care of her.

Story
Rylo is a very good home trained dog and needs a good home. He listens very good and does not give me any problems. I unfortunately experienced something very traumatic and lost my boyfriend in front of me and I need to rehome him. I cannot take care of him anymore the way I used to due to personal reasons. He would be better off with in another home that can properly care for him. I have tried for two months to get a shelter to take him in and unfortunately they are all at capacity. I really cannot keep him anymore and would hope someone could take him in a care for him because he really is a great dog.
