Story
Looking to rehome Cali. She has been a good dog to our family. She just turned 9, but is extremely youthful and energetic. We adopted her when she was 2 years old and have had to work through some dog aggression. She does have a bite history with strangers, but nothing severe and we have not had an incident in over 2 years now. She is very selective with dogs. She was great with 2 dogs in our circle. She also lived with 6 cats at one point, but it took time for them to all warm up to each other. My daughter has had severe skin issues since birth and after testing, we found out she is severely allergic to dogs. We do not want to continue putting steroids on our 2 year old and medicating her daily to help her sleep and stop the itching. We also have another child coming and my wife is having health issues and is overwhelmed. We want a good home for Cali and are willing to help with food and vet costs as long as she is well taken care of.

Rocko is a loving dog who likes to run outside, but can also be a couch potato. He was born in Nov of 2018. Unfortunately due to some allergies/health concerns, he is unable to continue to live with us. He loves people once he gets to know you, and will sleep with you all night if you let him. He loves walks, but his absolute favorite is car rides. He is very loyal, caring, and compassionate

She's a ball of energy but loves to snuggle. She's loves her chew toys. She is still learning to walk on a leash. She is a people person and loves getting pets. She will do well with a big yard and room to run. We unfortunately don't have the space for her and our busy schedules make out even harder. We love her but cannot keep her.

Story
Bert was born January 15, 2025. He is a sweet Shih Tzu/Poodle mix (Shih-Poo) puppy and ready for a loving forever home. He is about 3 months old, weighs around 6 lbs, and is nearly fully potty trained. Still teething, very playful, affectionate, and great with kids! As of 4/19/25, he mastered going down the stairs on his own (huge and exciting milestone for him)! We purchased him from a pet store for $3,400, so he is well-bred and healthy. He has had all current vet visits and has one more follow-up visit, due April 29, included at no cost at Coyne Veterinary Center-St. John. We are including: *His crate *His 2 beds *Toys and comfort items *Food and favorite treats *All vet records and supplies. We are asking $1200. We want to ensure he goes to a responsible, committed home and want the best environment for him. If we could keep him we would! We would like to get a little info about your home/lifestyle and why you think you would be a good match. Thank you!

Story
Hello. Meet Royalty. I am 2 years old. I’ve been in the same home for 2 1/2 years. My humans adopted me when I was 3 months old. I am very anxious. I’m very anxious with car rides, big trucks and buses, caging and loud noises. I’m very vocal when new people or pets are around but not viscous just excited to make new friends. I love kisses and belly rubs. I love going for walks and getting tasty treats. I’m looking for a new forever home.
