Story

Ginger is a kind loving Beagle. She is always down for a snuggle on the couch along with neck and ear scratches. She does come with some special needs and care. She has allergies and is on medication for that. She also has knee issues in her back legs thag need extra attention to long play time and limit the use of stairs. We limit her walks to 10 to 15 minutes.She is ok with older kids.She does enjoy a truck ride. She does well as long as she has her harness on.Her nick name is "Buggy" or "Buggy Bug" due to her wanting to eat random bugs in the yard or on walks.She's a kind loving dog that seeks attention through cuddles and loves to play with puzzle toys that has treats in them. If you have a window that gets sunlight you can catch her sun bathing in it. She's very treat motivated and will sit eagerly for one and give you her paw.We are unsure about cats as she's never been around one. She may be curious about that.

Story

Holly is a very energetic loving dog. She loves to play fetch and loves to play with other dogs. She will chase after birds and squirrels. She loves to be outside, especially at the dog park. I recently found out I am allergic to her so I have been unable to give her the love she deserves. Holly will follow my daughter around everywhere outside, so she does like kids. She would come with whatever food is left, collar, leash, food and water bowls, shampoo, tooth brush items, dog bed, treats, and some toys. Adoption fee is negotiable.

Story

Hello, I am 57 and he was my emotional support pet. I want him to go to a new home with a loving family, he’s playful, attentive, sensitive. He sympathize with you when you’re sad or not feeling well or when people are upset and he’s very loyal. He needs to be able to release his energy. I would hope he would get out often to wander, explore when walked. He is trained on an electric collar which we never shocked him. We would just buzz him. He’s a very lovable dog. His bad habits are if you leave food unattended he will take it for himself. He gets anxious if he can’t find you, or yellin. he sometimes gets under foot when you’re doing things like cooking. If your eating he will burn a hole in your head hoping you’d share your food w/ him.. He likes toast bread w/butter. He likes most human cooked scraps w/a little of his kibble. Water? He tends to over drink chokes, then vomits. He’s a good dog some faults but not many, he’ll become your best friend.
