Story
I've had thrash since he was a puppy he is now about 7, for the last 4 years he been getting more mean with my wife and doesn't get along with our other dog. They recently got into a fight and I dont think its a good idea to have him around our other dog anymore. He gets along with most dogs hes met but not all. Hes alway been sweet with me but not with some people he meets. He loves to play ball and run all day. I just dont believe im the right owner for him anymore, I cant give him the exercise he really needs, and I believe the lack of it might be the root of his problems. He really needs to be on a farm or with someone that can help with his aggression and pent up energy.

Story
I am selling my puppy, I haven’t had him very long he’s only 7-8 weeks old born July 15th. Due to certain circumstances I cannot keep him😔.. im very upset about it, he is a very good puppy, fully bred pit. I got him from Michigan he has 1 blue and 1 grey eye. His mother was a beautiful tan/white pit with bright blue eyes, dad was a black/white pit with grey eyes. I originally paid $600 for him, willing to negotiate I just want him to go to a good home❤️.

Story
Amelia is a 6-year-old Pointer mix who loves being active and exploring nature. She is looking for a new home because future military obligations will be taking me away from home for extensive periods of time. She needs a stable home able to care for her. Amelia is:• Friendly with other dogs• House trained and leash trained• Spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated• A loving companion who enjoys snuggling on the couch• Intelligent with a very "human-like" personalityShe thrives as a free-roamer in the home and doesn't need to be kenneled, as she experiences anxiety when confined. While she gets along well with other dogs, she can be territorial over her toys and bones. She is a wonderful hiking companion who loves to run and smell everything outdoors, though she is surprisingly terrified of vacuums, plastic bags, and treadmills!

Max is a 2 year old that we adopted from the shelter. He is a lab mix. Not sure exactly. Very sweet and playful boy. He has always lived with 2 other dogs so would probably do best with someone who already has a dog.
