Story
We adopted Phoebe from the local animal shelter in 2021, she is 4 years old. We would really like to find someone that is a good fit for her, and can better address her needs. Phoebe is a very energetic dog, but she can cuddle next to you on the couch for hours. She is a great dog as long as you’re home and she’s not alone. She has separation anxiety, and her anxiety response is to potty in the house. She only does this when she’s left alone for periods of time, typically she can go 1-3 hours without going in the house when she’s alone. She won’t potty inside if you’re home, it’s only separation. Phoebe is a very anxious dog, and can be quite skittish and fearful of objects. She is scared if something falls off the counter like a piece of paper, or sweeping a broom. Phoebe has lived with another dog before and there were never any problems, while she can be reactive when approached by outside dogs, never aggressive. She’s spent time around kids, not much but never any issues.

Story
Hello my name is Remi! I am 4 years old and my birthday is May 6th. My mom wants to find me a good home before she moves. I do have Addison’s Disease and need medication to be healthy. I take half a pill of Prednisone daily and get a shot of zycordal monthly. My mom spends around $50 a month on those. I have severe anxiety, but love my family. I need a caregiver who will be gentle and patient. I usually warm up to people like that and will do better adjusting. I’m more intimidated by men and prefer women, but can warm up to men if they really gentle parent me. Since I am a nervous dog, I bark and get scared around kids. I’m very food motivated with behavioral things. For the most part, I’m good about going potty outside, but will have accidents if not taken out regularly. My medicine makes me need to go more. I love all animals and get along well with them as long as they stay away from me while I eat. I don’t like sharing my food. I’m a very sweet dog if I feel loved and cared for.

Story
This is Boss. He is about 6 to 7 years old. His owner was an addict who relapsed and is currently serving time. He needs to be in a home where he is the only pet and would probably do better with older children versus toddler or younger. He is extremely smart and knows commands. He is very loving and protective as well. We know he could be a great dog for someone unfortunately it’s not with us. We are already have two dogs and unfortunately one of them does not get along with Boss.

Story
Delilah is a sweet, loving dog. Previous to my receiving of her, Delilah was possibly used for fights, making her very skittish. That should not deter you because Delilah is the sweetest, she has never attempted to harm me, my kids, or my other dog. Delilah is approximately 1.5 years old, 50lbs, and is up to date on all of her shots. My reasoning for putting her on this site, is simply due to the fact that I cannot give her the attention she needs. She is a playful dog and with my other responsibilities (work, kids, family, etc) I truly can’t give her the attention or energy she needs. We all love Delilah very very much. She deserves to be in a loving home with someone who can meet her needs better than I can. She has attended a few training classes and knows a couple basic commands.
