Story
We adopted Kuhn from a shelter in March of 2016. He is 12 years old. He would thrive in a quiet home. He is calm and good temperament. He enjoys walks and snuggles. As he has aged we have noticed that the pace and activity of our home is not conducive to him thriving. He has had good vet visits in all recent years. He does not like crates and at times has storm anxiety. We do use a waist wrap when we leave the home in case he pees from any anxiety. He would be best suited in a home without young children. He has struggled with patience in the activity levels of our young kids.

Story
Buttercup is 18 months old. She is very shy and has been ever since she was a puppy. She is a very good dog and gets along great with our two Bernese Mountain dogs and our grand kids. She is crate trained. She does keep our 3 cats on edge but especially our male Ragdoll cat. It causes him to not want to use his littler box. That was not an issue until Buttercup showed up. For that reason we need to move on. It’s not fair to either animal. We hate to see her go but it’s unfair to have her in a cage just so the male cat can move around the house. Looking for a loving home that’s willing to work thru her shy tendencies. She has so much potential. Thanks Neil

Meet Gizmo, the sweetest, most lovable pup you’ll ever meet! 🐾 Gizmo is a friendly, affectionate boy who loves everyone he meets people, kids, and other pets alike. He’s fully house trained and potty trained, making him the perfect companion for a family looking for a well mannered furry friend. This happy go lucky guy brings joy wherever he goes. He adores cuddle time, going for walks, and being part of the action. Sadly, his current family has to rehome him because the youngest member has developed allergies but they want nothing more than to find Gizmo a home filled with love, comfort, and belly rubs. If your looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will fill your home with happiness and wagging tails, Gizmo is your boy! 💛
