Story
We acquired Rambo from a friend when he was a puppy. He is 4 years old and has lived with us his whole life and with our other dog. He is a very energetic and hyper dog and he loves attention. He does really well with kids. We would like him to go to a home that is able to provide him with more time and attention. We'd prefer if he went to a home with no other dogs. He didn't necessarily do bad with our other dog but he was very jealous of our other dog and hasn't been around many other dogs.

Story
I got Harpo at nine weeks old. I had him since I believe 2012. I had some health issues and I got him at a time that was not planned. But once I saw him, I couldn't give him up. I raised him to be like a lookout for me to be a house dog and watch the house and watch me when I'm outside. He's been very good in those areas.He is a little stubborn, and very spoiled, he can be good with kids.I have not allowed him to be around kids.He's very good with people.As long as you're not afraid because he can be just really calm and collected, but if he's sensed fear in you, he will snap at you, i've seen him do it.So, yes, there's a possibility that he could bite.I don't allow people to pet him.I've never allowed people or strangers to pet my dog.Because he is for protection and companionship, I had some health scares, and so has he had, torn his ACL back in 2023. He also had something lodged in colon afterward and cancer this year the tumor removed.

Story
Meet Rosie!Rosie is a 3-year-old dog that we adopted from a shelter two years ago. She is incredibly affectionate, loves attention, and is very loyal to her people. She is full of energy and would thrive with an active owner who has the time and experience to meet her physical and mental exercise needs.Rosie is kennel trained and sleeps comfortably in her crate at night. She is well behaved in the house and does not chew on furniture.She gets along well with our other dog, Max, but she does resource guard toys and food. Around unfamiliar dogs, she can be reactive, so we believe she would do best as the only dog in the home.Rosie is also a little timid around new people. While we don’t know much about her life before we adopted her, she will sometimes flinch, cower, or urinate when she becomes frightened, which suggests she may have experienced trauma in the past. She has never bitten anyone.She has a very high prey drive and will chase any small animals she sees in the yard.

Story
Ah some fresh air! A little walk, a couple of zoomies in a play yard and I’m ready for belly rubs. Then let’s walk a little more, some sniffing here and there and of course I always stop to look at people when they talk to me. I love all the attention I can get. So now that you are seeing my online picture, imagine me with my big head of your lap, relaxing with you and just enjoying all these special moments of being together. I’m not too much into sharing my people with other pets but that’s just because I have so much love to give. I’d prefer a home with not too much commotion. I’m also pretty smart – get me to sit and stay, throw a treat and then ask me to find it. I always succeed….I have to say that I really like food. My tail is wagging in anticipation of meeting my new family.
