Story
URGENT!Tank is one of the puppies that we had in a litter of 10 puppies (Cona is the mom, she is the other dog we need to rehome). Tank is very excited and loves to play. He loves to licks faces. Tank is almost 2 years, birthday Aug 23, 2024. He is not neutered. He does go on walks sometimes, but mostly gets exercise from running around the fenced back yard. Tank does get very nervous, especially when going to the vet, usually has to takes medicine to calm him prior to going to the vet. Tank does get very much into playing and did get aggressive towards another one of our dogs, which is why we need to rehome him. so, if interested, might need to be in a home with no other dogs, unless one is able to take in our other dog too, he is ok with her. Tank is house trained . He does go to his crate when we lead him to it. Tank now needs updated shots, he has not been to the vet this year.

Story
Lucy is a nearly 5 year old miniature goldendoodle. She's very loving to all people, but has become controlling/ aggressive towards our French Bulldog. She has some anxiety (medicated with fluoxitine) which manifests itself with pacing. She isn't afraid of storms or anything like that. She's definitely a cuddler. She's housebroken and crate trained (sleeps in at night) but otherwise roams the house freely. She's up to date on all shots, etc and is microchipped through Northeast Animal Clinic. We'd be glad to answer any questions.

Story
B is a fun, sweet and active dog. He doesn’t ever sit still and is always happy to see you. This guy is always carrying a stuffed animal or ball. He loves to play! He enjoys playing with his ball but I can’t guarantee he will let go when he brings it back. He’s extremely affectionate but doesn’t know his size. He deserves someone who has plenty of time and space for all his energy. I took him in after the previous owner failed to come back for him. As much as I’d love to continue to care for him, I cannot. He deserves a chance to have all the things he needs. I was told his owner would come get him once they were settled and I have had no contact since. I want what’s best for him! A home with time and experience with labs is what he needs. From what I was informed, he was purchased from a breeder and is about 3 or 4 years old. But I cannot be 100% that’s accurate

Story
URGENT!Cona is an American bulldog, weighs about 68 pounds. Cona is a very sweet girl that loves to play. She gets very excited when we come home from work. She is house trained. She does not go on many walks, but we have a yard for her to run in. She does get a little nervous meeting new people, but can warm up to people. Cona does get very into playing with our other dogs and did go a little too aggressive with one of our dogs, which is the reason we need to rehome. So if you consider her, it would have to be a home where there are not other dogs, except we are also having to rehome another one of our dogs, she is good with him. Cona is spayed. She did have 1 litter of 10 puppies prior to be spayed, She is 3 years old. We got her from a breeder in Illinois. She needs hers shots updated

Story
Orion is 2.5 years old, his birthday is Christmas Eve. He's neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, potty trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. He's a full mutt but we were told his mom was a German Shepherd / Australian cattle dog mix, and dad was a loose dog that was a Lab/husky mix.He's a sweet, loving boy who loves people and gets along other dogs, cats, and small animals. He does great with children, even young kiddos. He's food motivated and would be easy to teach more tricks! He likes to play fetch and is always ready to give kisses. His favorite things is spending time with people or curling up in his bed for a nap.This is a very difficult decision. Orion is a wonderful dog, but between needing to pick up a second job and busy with young kids, we just really want to find him a family who will have the time and money to care for him.If you think Orion could be a good fit for your family or have any questions, please send me a message!

Story
Echo was born March 22, 2026. He is a sweet boy with lots of energy. I was unfortunately diagnosed with a medical condition and will not be able to give him the proper attention he deserves. Rehoming Echo is the last thing I want to do, but feel it would be selfish for me to keep him given my resent diagnosis. He gets along with dogs, cats, and kids. He loves running around the yard and taking walks.
