Story
We got Archie from some Amish, his tail was broken and he was skiddish from the start but very playful. Vet said his tail was not an issue, Archie is house trained but sometimes has accidents, when we brought our newborn home his behavior drastically changed, he drinks water until he throws up and no matter what I feed him he won’t gain weight, he became super high string and anxious and I feel terrible for not being able to keep him comfortable while trying to tend to my infant, he is good around my other dog and cat, he isn’t even that bad around my baby but the behavior has gotten to a point that I mentally and physically can’t keep up with him and I’d like him to go to a nice home. I took him for lots of tests to make sure nothing was wrong and all tests came back negative.

Leia is very loving, we are regretfully looking for a new home for her. She appeared at my workplace, So I took her home. I am relocating for work and travel pretty much most of the time now. Since moving I don’t have anyone to help while gone. I would like her to go to someone that can give her the proper attention she deserves.

Story
Kilo's story begins with a lovely owner who unfortunately passed when Kilo was only 2. From there, he went to a shelter where he seemed to get along fine with other dogs, then was adopted by a family who had a few dogs of their own that did not get along with Kilo. That's when and why he came to us, and once he was in our home he had officially loathed other dogs and would try to attack them. We have worked on this for the last few years with minimal progress, but still progress. He should not be in a home with or unleashed around other dogs, but he can finally run the fence line happily with our neighbors dogs. Kilo is terrified of rain/storms, is allergic to chicken & it's byproduct, and he has low-level separation anxiety (he doesn't eat or drink when we aren't home). He loves to snuggle and play outside, along with walks/bike rides. Unfortunately, situations have come up that no longer allow us to keep him. He is a very good boy, and he deserves a good home.

Story
A little over a year ago, Archie was found wandering the streets and nobody claimed him. Archie is young, 2-3 years old, extremely high energy, and very vocal. Archie is very playful and social! He loves playing with humans and other dogs. He is good with cats, but does not like smaller pets like bunnies. Due to his rambunctious nature, Archie would be great with older children but not ideal for homes with toddlers as he often resembles a 60 pound bowling ball. Archie loves being outside, but struggles like all bull dogs with extended activity and needs frequent breaks and careful monitoring during extreme heat. We are seeking a home with a human who is usually home and frequent access to a yard. Archie is happiest near his human at all times and needs to go potty about every 4 hours during the day. We also love to snuggle at the end of a long day.
