Story
Chloe was given to us when her family had to relocate due to work and our dog visited her right when they were leaving. They could not take her due to the small size of the new residence.It's a dilemma that we now also face; 1200 square feet with 3 animals and 3 people is teensy. She's crate-trained, house broken, and loves playing tug of war. Her other favorite game is to figure out how to become a weighted blanket. She's quite adept at it. ♥️Chloe comes with her own crate, some food, and harness/leash set.

Story
Making the difficult decision to rehome Milo due to another dog in the house suddenly unable to even be in the same room as him. Milo is well behaved and does not react but unfortunately has had to be separated and he does not do well being apart. He is crate trained and uses pee pads as needed but if on a regular schedule he will not potty inside. Milo is great with kids and is gentle, walks with him are calm and easy as he does not delay at all and loves to just sit and smell the air. I adopted him from someone on Craigslist so I don’t have his history from before me but he’s in perfect health. He does struggle with being alone and will whine but settles and quiets if told to. He’s honestly an amazing dog that just isn’t thriving with me and he deserves a home with more freedom.Will provide bag of his food with storage container, bowls, leash and collar, bed and blanket, and crate if needed. I really want him to go to a good home.

Story
Hello my name is Jackie, I need assistance with rehoming the sweetest pitbull in the whole world. His name is Sid I estimate him to be alittle over two years old pushing three. I have had him going on 2 years and found him in a laundry mat parking lot. I currently live with my mother and will soon be getting married and moving out. He is fairly a big boy, around 40 lbs and he is just too much for her to handle as she is getting older. I will be moving with my husband and in-laws and they are quite elderly and can’t live with him either for medical reasons. He seemed to have some trust issues with men at first but we practice everyday to be outside around new people, sounds, and environments. This is honestly my last resort and I just want him to have a forever home going forward.
