Story

MAVERICK is approximately 1 1/2 years old. He is an absolute lover. He is feisty, loves playing fetch, and has endless energy. Loves his walks and car rides, and sitting in the sun. He is very friendly with my ferrets, and is curious about other cats and dogs, but is apprehensive. I rescued/adopted him from Facebook on December 22nd, 2025, as the family could not have him anymore. He is overall a great dog. Now for the downsides of Maverick...He is not fully potty trained. Even with a doggie door, he will pee/poop in the house. This is especially when it is very cold outside. He has severe separation issues: he has destroyed 3 wooden/vinyl windows blinds (chewed them up completely). Even with a fenced in yard, he is an escape artist, and will dig under the fence if you leave the house. Due to the digging and escaping, I can no longer have him at my place, because of housing and community restrictions. The damage done by peeing/chewing is too costly for me to keep him now.

Story

Mickey came to me as a temporary foster, turned long term foster. He is between 8-10 years old. He’s a friendly dog that loves attention. Mickey does well with other dogs but not cats. He is reactive to noises. He is known for chasing squirrels or other animals outside, so he would do best with a fenced in yard and a single family home.

Shiba was a rescue found on the streets back in 2016, this puts her estimated age around 10 years old. She gets along well with our pomeranian, and our oldest husky mix but not our Shiba Inu therefore we are looking for a new home for her where she will get the attention and exercise she needs. She has never had any medical issues and is extremely fit, she knows basic commands and is very well behaved on walks. Message me to set up a time to meet Shiba and see if she will be the right fit for you!

Story

Ginger is a purebred Cavalier Spaniel. We adopted her from a reputable breeder 2 years ago when she was just 8 weeks old. She is a loving beautiful dog. She will be greatly missed. Sadly for us we lead such a busy life and there is no one home most of the day to give her attention or take her for walks. So she needs a home that she can receive the attention she needs.
