Hi I am Beatrix, but you can call me Trixie! Me and my sister Betsy were an accidental litter. We were born February 23, 2025. I am a very sunny, playful, and sweet girl! I love to cuddle too.

Story
Smoke was my son's dog, however, my son had to move 5 hours away, with his job, and into a small apartment. He was unable to take Smoke with him. My landlord will not allow me to keep Smoke because of their tenant policy here. Smoke is a lab/pit mix, around 4 years old, and he is around 58 lbs. Smoke is housebroken, vaccinated and neutered. For now, Smoke is in a small apartment with me. Smoke injured his back right leg around 5 months ago, but you cant really tell, as he loves to run, jump and play. Smoke is an indoor dog, but would do well with more room, a fenced in back yard to play in, or a farm to live on. Smoke has alot of love to give. He needs a best friend to do things with. Occasionally he enjoys watching TV. I've only seen Smoke in a controlled environment around other dogs and children, so anything outside that I'm not sure about.

Story
This is Sly. He's an 8 month old male lab mix (not sure). He's UTD on shots and has been neutered. He's house trained and is learning to 'sit'. He's very loveable, likes to lick your face and relax next to you. He's good with young teens but hasn't been around anyone younger. He's good with puppies, small breed dogs and females. He does not do well with other male dogs his size or larger. He would be best in a home where he's the only dog or with small breeds. He needs someone to give him attention and playtime. He loves to run and chew on toys. A fenced yard is a plus.

Story
Our family met Kobe when he was just a puppy. He will be 4 years old this summer. He was an addition to our family soon as my wife and I got married. We moved into our first home with a nice yard for him to play in and he loved every inch of our yard. We are looking for a family who would care for Kobe to go our walks, to play in the yard and to give him all of the snuggles possible. He will be a great part of the family.
