Willow was rescued as a 6 week old puppy because the mother was killing her puppies. She loves the outdoors, going on walks, hikes and LOVES to cuddle. She truly deserves to be with a person who can give her the attention she needs and deserves.Willow is a great dog, but doesn’t need to be with toddlers.

Story
Max is lovable, sweet and loves to cuddle. He's great with small dogs and ferrets. He loves birds and will chase them to try and play. He loves tennis balls and other toys. He loves his family, is always happy when his people come home and asks for belly rubs. He enjoys sun bathing in the yard. Max was abused when he was young and is currently in a household that struggles with anxiety and this has affected his behavior. Also we cant afford to take care of him. He is trained to use puppy pads. He has snapped at a few people over the years, out of beingscared and protection for his family. This is due to his former abuse. This has been managed by comforting him around visitors and/or putting him in another room. He's a good boy and we are sad to need to rehome him. He really is sweet and has a great personality. We feel his behavior would improve if he were placed with the right family would could give him the nurture and training he needs and deserves.

Story
He is a very loving kind adopted dog , how was treaded bad . He was scared of everything, he came a long way and has almost all his confidence back , still scared about certain things, like vacuuming, hair blower and someone touches or pull on his legs , or cutting his toenails! But he is a Buddy, thats his name , he loves cuddling, walks , kids , other dogs , not so much cats or squirrels , likes dog treats or minding his own business and just sleeps ! He is house trained and even can walk without leash , he is 12 years and just needs someone how give him a couple peaceful more years! He was adopted when he was 4 years from a Shelter, due to divorce and financial situation , im looking for a loving home for him instead to surrender him in a Shelter where he was left once before from someone!
