Story

We got Pretzel from an Amish farm in Wisconsin. She is very sweet, playful, and smart. We originally wanted to get another dog as a friend for our 9 year old dog. She gets along great with our dog and 4 kids, but we’ve realized we don’t have enough time to dedicate to give her the love and attention she needs. We would like to find her a good home where she can thrive.

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hudson has been an amazing part of my journey with new health issues that developed in 2025. My Mom got him to keep me company. However, due how allergic my Mom is to him and her life stress of taking care of me / her job, she is about at her breaking point. Onto Hudson: I named him after my best friend's hometown. He LOVES to cuddle, and will sleep for most of the day. Hudson is equally an outdoor dog, and will run around big yards with wondrous curiosity. He has a weak digestion system, getting constipated easily, so he must eat strictly dog food. Otherwise, he gets poop stuck to him. These issues seem diet related most of all. When he has gone to his grandma's house or the farmer's market, he interacts with other animals great. We haven't had many children around, but the few we have he becomes defensive and aggressive. He wants to feel in control of his space because of his size, and children can be unaware of that. Hudson is a needy little cutie, and such a character.

Story

I would like to introduce you to Chucha!This girl is 5 years old. She is SO sweet and loving. All she wants to do is cuddle and feel loved. She loves running around in the yard and going for walks almost as much as she loves laying next to you.She is SO easy. The easiest and best behaved dog we have ever had.She has bad trauma from other dogs, so she needs a house where she is the only dog. She has not interacted with kids, but she is visibly scared of them, so a home without small kids might be ideal too. She's fine with cats and small dogs.Perks:-Fully house trained-Fully obedience trained-Perfect leash walker-Training collar and place bed included-She is muzzle-trained (just in case it is ever needed)-We are happy to cover any future health expenses. We don't want money to keep you from having the best dog ever.If you are looking for a wonderful and cute companion, please contact us. Chucha cannot wait to meet you!
