Story
I’ve had Biscuit since late 2020, and he was 1.5 years old then. He’s been a fantastic dog. I’ve recently had several children and moved from a house with land to an apartment.He loves his exercise but will absolutely cuddle you all day if given the chance. He would do very well in a home where it’s just him and he’s on a consistent schedule.Free to a good home, I’ll provide food, treats and other needed items.

Story
Indy boy has been with us since we could pick him up from the farm. He is a great pup and rehoming him has been a very, very difficult decision, but one I'm making selflessly. My kids have gotten older and with work travel and sports, I am not offering Indy the home he deserves. He is very smart, loyal, and great with kids. I am truly making this decision solely because I do not have help caring for him and he deserves better than what I can provide.

Story
Wilbur is a character who likes to snuggle! He likes to be outside and go on walks as long as it’s not too hot for his bulldog scrunchy nose. He loves to snuggle on the sofa in the evening and will do anything for a treat! He gets his name from the pig in Charlotte’s Web and when you hear the noises he makes you’ll understand why. I am finding a new home for Wilbur because I am leaving the country to volunteer overseas. I’m hoping to find a home for Wilbur that will get a kick out of his personality as much as I have.
