Story

He was being re-homed last year and having lost my dog, I offered to take him in but now I'm moving out and our new place doesn't accept pets. I don't want to leave him with my family as I know they will not treat him how he should be treated and want to make sure he is put into a house where he is loved and played with. He is an energetic boy who doesn't mind laying inside with his owner. He hates the rain and absolutely loves a good walk. He is an aggressive chewer who loves bones and balls. He is a proper gentleman who deserves the best. He gets along with cats but can be very excited to meet them so a slow introduction is the best. He knows how to sit and leave it pretty well. He's pretty smart and loves attention.

Story

Reggie is a playful, affectionate, and loving 6-year-old Shepherd and Boxer mix. He loves fetch and water and will play endlessly with the garden hose. He also enjoys tug of war, dogsafe bubbles, running in the yard, squeaky toys, stuffed toys, balls, and any type of play. At home, he’s a snuggly couch potato. He’s happy to spend the day relaxing, watching TV, or just being close. He's very affectionate and smart. Reggie is fully house trained and knows commands such as sit, stay, lay down, and touch. He thrives on attention and love but he must be the only animal in the home as he has bitten another dog. He is not on a bite registry. Cannot go to dog parks or any public areas with dogs without major, focused, positive reinforcement training. He responds well to treats. He is on prescription hydrolyzed protein diet due to protein allergies (pork, chicken, beef). He takes Fluoxetine once a day for anxiety. More info will be shared if you have interest in our sweet boy.

Story

Hello, I have to rehome my Duchess due to job requirements and landlord religion. I’ve had Duchess since she was 4 months old, purchased from a breeder. She is very smart and very well trained. She’s traveled with me everywhere her entire life. She’s even traveled on planes several times. She is truly an amazing dog that is easy to manage and very adaptable to change. She’s always been a house dog, so outdoor living would not be suitable to her. She loves kids and being around people. She absolutely loves to cuddle and walks. I promise you, my Duchess will not give her new owner any trouble. However, she does not like cats. It breaks my heart to rehome and I’ve tried my best to manage my new life circumstances with her, however, it’s not fair to her to have to be alone for extended periods of time while I work. Also, my landlord is Muslim and won’t allow me to keep her any longer.
