Story
Meet Carl. It is with a heavy heart that I am creating this adoption. We’ve had Carl since 8 weeks old and love him deeply. He is our 3 year old boxer with a loving heart and a huge personality. He is dog, kid, and cat friendly. He is very food motivated and loves to chase toys. He does not make messes in the house and loves to be outside when it’s not too hot. He is short nosed so he does better in a cooler environment. We are looking to have him adopted by a person or family with a house and yard. Our current living situation is not ideal for him. He is much better suited to have his own yard to run around in than to be in an apartment and go for walks. If you are interested please contact me for more information. Also, his brother, Steve, is also up for adoption. Keeping them together would be amazing but I understand it may not be possible.

Story
Meet Steve! I never thought we would be at the point of posting this sweet boy for adoption. Steve is 3 years old and an all around perfect dog. He is has a mild demeanor but loves to play when you ask him to. His favorite play time is fetching “His” ball (yes he has a favorite). He is calm in the house most of the time, sometimes has his zoomies. He walks great on a leash and loves going for adventures. I have never seen an aggressive side of him. He loves kids and playing with cats. If you’re looking for a great do anything dog, Steve is the perfect companion. If you are interested in more information please contact me. Also, his brother, Carl, is also up for adoption. Keeping them together would be amazing but I understand it may not be possible.

Story
His is name is Enzo! He is 5. Looking for rehomeing due to moving off island for work and unable to bring pet with me. Super friendly, cuddly, and always in a happy, playful mood. He loves walks, chasing balls, tug-of-war, and running at the park. At home, he’s calm and well-mannered. He’s totally content lounging on the couch, napping on the floor, or just hanging out near his people. He’s usually home resting during the day and gets his exercise with walks around the park. Whenever possible, he also enjoys trips to the dog park where he can really stretch his legs and socialize. He’s extremely friendly with people, including kids. He also does great with other dogs and even cats when staying with sitters. He usually sleeps in the living room on the couch or floor. He would happily sleep in bed if allowed, but since he’s a bigger dog, he typically stays in the living room at night. He's up to date on his vaccines, neutered and microchipped. No medical conditions.

Story
Ace is a 7 year old black German shepherd. He is generally well behaved around the house (he will occasionally steal unattended food), very well house trained and incredibly loving. He is high energy and loves good walks and activity outside. He is great with people, and older children. My family has a recent newborn and unfortunately cannot currently give him the attention and activity he deserves. He does not get along with other dogs, though can slowly be acclimated to other dogs and cats with time and training but initially is aggressive, though he has never bitten another person or animal. He is a very sweet, kind dog and deserving of a home that can give him the attention and active life he deserves.
