Story
Hey everybody . This is hard for me but I can’t have my baby anymore because of funds and my landlord and it’s gotten to a point where I don’t have time for my sweet boy anymore . I’ve had Mr for 10 years since I was about 14 years old and he’s always been with me he’s a clingy boy so he loves cuddles/somebody that will sleep with him every night , he plays with his toys, he loves treats, and he loves to go outside. All things I have a hard time providing that I use to be able to when we were younger. He is my best friend in the whole world so if you choose to adopt him please cater to him cause he deserves it . He has certain medication he takes (very cheap) every day we can go over that it’s for his arthritis. I can’t give him the time he needs so maybe if your retired and can spend a lot of time with him he’d love that or if your a true dog lover and need a friend he will be there. He has never tried to hump or had any serious medical issues so getting him neutered is not needed!

Story
Blu is 7 years old and I have had her since she was 12 weeks old. She loves outdoor walks, sleeping, going to the farmer’s market, and her stuffed caterpillar. She gets along well with people and is very affectionate. Throughout her life, she has always had to be kenneled daily when alone and has extreme kennel anxiety. After the introduction to a cat in our home and her kennel anxiety, I am unfortunately looking to rehome Blu. She will be able to thrive like the queen she is in a home without having to be kenneled daily.

Story
Callie is an enthusiastic happy pup. She just had her 1 year birthday in July. She will gratefully accept all the attention and affection you have to give. She will sit on your feet for pets so watch your shoes. She is a people pleaser and will be relatively easy to teach new things. She walks well on the leash not much pulling and is a moderate barker but can easily be quieted down just my teller her no. She is used to weekly showers and a blow dry. She does not react at all to loud noises/ fireworks/ thunder. She is happy to follow you where ever you go or lay by your feet; she just wants to be where you are. If you are willing to share the bed or couch she loves to watch tv too. She does fine inside during the day while at work as long as she has some toys to keep her occupied. She can be in the crate also without issue. She is a good and loving girl and just needs more time than we can give and we want her to have the best.
