Story
9-Week-Old Male Goldendoodle Puppy Looking for a Loving Home We are looking to find a responsible and loving new home for our 9-week-old male Goldendoodle puppy. He is a sweet, playful young puppy who deserves a family that has the time and commitment to raise, train, and care for him. He has been dewormed and is ready to continue his puppy vaccinations and routine veterinary care with his new family. Details: Male Goldendoodle, 9 weeks old, dewormed, friendly and playful. We paid $600 for him and are asking for a reasonable rehoming fee to help ensure he goes to a serious and responsible home. He will only go to a safe home that understands the time, training, grooming, exercise, and veterinary care that a puppy requires. Located in the Schererville, Indiana area. Please message me with some information about yourself, your household, whether you have other pets, and your experience caring for dogs. Serious inquiries only. We want to make sure he goes to a great home.

Story
This is my dog Dutch. This is quite hard to do, but I need to find him a new home. He is a purebred German Shepherd who loves being around people. He followed me everywhere. He is well-behaved. Very good watchdog. He loves playing with his toys, especially balls. He did well with my young son and family’s kids. Due to my housing situation, I need to find him a loving home. We had to downsize from a single-family home with a big fenced yard to a 2-bdrm townhome with a very small yard, and Dutch is not himself since he can’t run and play like he was used to.

Story
Clark is a sweet, loyal dog. He is a 7 year old shmorkie who we got at 2 weeks old. Clark gets along well with our 11 year old Shih Tzu, but dogs he is unfamiliar with, he will bark and be unfriendly. When we had our twins in 2021 Clark began being more anxious where he would hide under the bed/behind the couch and have uncharacteristic accidents in the house. We figured as the kids grew up Clark’s behavior would change, but he is still a very anxious and not his old self. We also moved from a 4 bedroom house with a big fenced in yard to a condominium with much less space. We love Clark and want him to have a happy life, so we’ve decided to rehome him. Clark would thrive in a situation with no kids as the only animal. He needs space, preferably a yard to run around and just lay in the sun.

Story
Bingo is about 8 years old, weighs around 30 pounds, and has a tight, white curly coat that doesn't shed but requires brushing (which he hates) and professional grooming every 6–8 weeks. My husband and I have had Bingo for just over three years. He's a sweet dog, but he's also a bit of a handful. He has severe anxiety around the vet and groomer and must be medicated with Trazodone and Acepromazine before visits. He's also prone to environmental allergies and ear infections but won't let anyone touch or clean his ears. Bingo is mostly housebroken but may occasionally pee in the basement if he's not let out first thing in the morning or "spite poop" when he's grumpy. He loves walks, car rides, treats, cuddles, tearing apart toys, and shredding tissues. Bingo needs a patient, experienced owner. He'd do well in a home with kids 5 , dogs, or cats. He's a loving companion, but his care is costly and more involved than most.

Story
Phoenix is finally feeling like herself - and now she’s ready to find the forever home she’s been waiting for. At 8 months old and around 35 lbs, this sweet girl is fully vetted and full of potential. She’s still learning how to “dog,” so she’ll thrive with a patient, loving family to show her the ropes. Phoenix can be a little shy at first, but give her a minute (and maybe a treat), and she’ll warm up quickly. She’s gentle, kind, and has shown no food or toy guarding- she takes treats so gently from people - just a soft, loving soul. She would do amazing at doggy daycare as she loves dogs of all ages and sizes, but she does have some separation anxiety when left alone. She has been cat tested and chicken tested and did fine with both. Best fit: • Fenced yard • Playful dog friend(s) • Patient, loving home She’s come so far already…now she just needs her person.
