Story
I got killa when he was a puppy from a lady in wisconsin, he has a brother from the same litter named spongebob that I also got. He is very questionable and can be reactive to people at times and may not. He is SO sweet once he warms up though but it definitely takes time. Im not really confident on how good he is with other dogs and also around children due to the fact that I myself aren’t around any either (besides spongebob). Knows basic tricks and loves ice and dog confetti cookies from walmart. He doesn’t like windshield wipers :(. I work long shifts and i recently gave him to a friend to see how he would do… He ended up running away not even 2 hours later and I had to break him out of Jail but he is back safe and sound. I want to know he is for sure going to a great home. I feel as if he would be great with a person with no kids or any other animals to prevent stress. He also loves to run and will play fetch.

Delilah came from PAWS I got her when she was 4 months old, her birthday is February 11th. I’m looking for someone who loves dog cuddles and someone who needs a very playful pup! Delilah is very happy and sweet, just due to my pregnancy she has become very down and I just want her to have the same love she did before I became pregnant

Story
Buttercup is 18 months old. She is very shy and has been ever since she was a puppy. She is a very good dog and gets along great with our two Bernese Mountain dogs and our grand kids. She is crate trained. She does keep our 3 cats on edge but especially our male Ragdoll cat. It causes him to not want to use his littler box. That was not an issue until Buttercup showed up. For that reason we need to move on. It’s not fair to either animal. We hate to see her go but it’s unfair to have her in a cage just so the male cat can move around the house. Looking for a loving home that’s willing to work thru her shy tendencies. She has so much potential. Thanks Neil
