Story
Remington is a very sweet, loving dog with so much heart. She loves to cuddle, go on walks, run, play with other dogs, and be part of the action. She is loyal, affectionate, and naturally watchful, so she enjoys keeping an eye on her people and her home.Remington would make a wonderful adventure companion for the right person. She would thrive with someone who enjoys walks, outdoor time, exploring, and having a loyal dog by their side. She has playful energy, loves to run, and also has a soft, cuddly side when it’s time to relax.She would thrive as an only dog so she can be the center of attention. Or be a playmate to another playful dog who loves to run. She would do best in a home with no children under 12.

Story
Bleu has a cherry eye. It was sewn in but popped out. Tried eye drops and eye creams but nothing helped. The cherry eye doesn't seem to bother him at all. Bleu is a very cuddly dog. Do keep in mind that for some reason one side of his face in his folds is pretty dirty. I tried to clean it and it really didn't seem to get rid of any of it. Bleu is a nice dog and just wants to be lazy and cuddle. He will follow you if you move and will accidentally trip you so be weary of that.Recently though Brie has been aggressive towards him and tends to attack him around food. A part of the reason we are trying to rehome him.

Story
She is a Victorian bulldog. She has had a hernia since birth and it doesn't seem to bother her. She love to cuddle and doesn't really run away from the house. Do be careful she will run up to people. She wont bite or attack them she sort of runs to them. Be careful with some dogs they seem to get a little bit to excited and will scare other dogs into growling or snaping. Aside from that she is a really nice dog.Recently though she has been aggressive towards bleu and we don't know why. It mainly happens when they eat.Part of the reason we are trying to rehome her.

Story
I got him from a coworker for free when he was 4 months old. His birthday is July 7, 2023. He loves squeaky balls (have to get the soft strong ones). He has been great but he's a little too reckless with his weight to be running around with my toddler. I dont have the time to train him working 50+ hrs a week and he needs more attention than I can give. Very loving and loves cuddling. Also loves playing fetch (without the bringing it back part).

Story
Oakley is a very smart, loving boy. He knows basic commands but has never had additional training beyond that. He is house trained but will mark when introduced to new surroundings. Previous owners were an older couple who babysat their grandkids so he is comfortable around children. Does great with other dogs and even chickens. Although gentle in nature, he is very strong and pulls when on a leash. Has not exhibited any resource guarding or aggression. More on the submissive side, he can be timid if he believes he is in trouble or someone raises their voice. Has only had one home since a puppy. Unfortunately, the previous owners were disabled and very unfamiliar with the demands of the breed so he has not had much freedom to really be a dog. Would do wonderfully with someone willing to give him the time, attention and love he deserves and someone familiar with the breed. He is very eager to please and will make someone a fantastic companion. Currently intact but neuter is scheduled.
