Story
Her name is Marble but her nickname is Baby. She was born 1/24/2025 and I adopted her from a breeder in November of 2025. She is current on all shots, rabies, micro chipped, and is fixed. She's Semi potty trained, she'll will go outside and use potty pads. She's fine around other dogs and kids. I haven't had her around any cats. She is food motivated and when she wants your attention, she'll lay her head on your arm and stare with her big brown eyes. She's a big cuddlier and will want to be your lap dog. She will be your sidekick, one step behind you on anything you do. Due to work changing, I am unable to be at home for periods of time and found her to have separation anxiety. She will need a firm trainer to help her with it or give her a yard to run when not home.

Story
Ally is an energetic affectionate dog that will do just about anything for butt rubs, going for a walk, and she's a great cuddle buddy! She also just turned 5 on February 21st. Ally loves feeling included whether it's putting away the groceries, moving furniture around or even doing laundry she will be right by your side! She does have a protective side to her that can at first seem vicious but overall, she is making sure she is being a protector. What I am looking for in a new home is someone/a family who can make time for her and can give her all the care/support she needs. Unfortunately, her owner abandoned her so I have been taken care of her until I can find a better home for her! For the past few months, I have been with her I have learned that Ally is a friendly, protective loyal dog. And I think anyone would be lucky to have her!

Story
Quincy is a 9 year old pitbull mix. He enjoys going on walks around the neighborhood or hikes through the woods. He's fairly low energy in his senior age, so he's good for a half hour walk in the afternoons for his exercise. He LOVES peanut butter, carrots, and pretzels and has learned many tricks as he is highly food motivated. He likes to bond with people by chewing a bone on/near them, playing fetch with a wubba or ball, tugging on the rope, or to being chased. He isn't much of an attention seeker for pets, mainly play time or treats, but that doesn't mean he won't cuddle! He also likes to seek and find if you hide toys around the house or tell him to stay and go hide yourself! He doesn't like the rain, snow or cold, but loves sunbathing his belly when its warm out. Quincy is housetrained and over the course of 8 years has only had one incident in the house. He knows how to sit, stay, lay down, crawl, rollover, shake, and twirl (spin). He has always been a great dog.

Story
We rescued Olive from someone who was wanting to rehome her. We knew no details other than she needed a new home. We picked her up November 29th 2022, she way born sometime in may 2022, so shes going on 4 years old. Olive a very loyal to her people, and extremely independent. She is very weary when meeting new people and also very vocal, shes an extremely smart dog but we think she has a preexisting fear and anxiety. She is extremely sweet when she knows her people, she doesn chew or tear anything up, we can just leave her out and she does well. She doesn’t go to the bathroom in the house, she will let you know when she needs to potty. We did put her through a 8 week training course that has helped a bit but shes un walkable outside when people are around and just barks a lot when outside in general. I believe its fear based as she will lunge and bark on the leash until she can’t see them anymore. It is best if you have a fenced in backyard.
