Story
Pip is full of energy 25lb mini Aussie! She’s loving, funny sometimes rebellious if not given enough attention. She just turned 1 years old. She is due for shots here soon. She loves to have chew toys and bones, she knows how to do commands , sit, stay, lay, kennel, jump and no. She’s kinda cooped up with all this energy - it isn’t ideal for her. My sons have jobs they are now working , along with me working and all 3 of us busy with lives , she’s hardly outside or even out of her kennel and it’s just not fair for her! She gets a little feisty around other female dogs I will say- but I’m not sure if it’s her wanting to play or claiming dominance. I haven’t explored further with that one. We need someone to love her like we do but with the time we don’t .

Story
King is an ESA. He will be 6 years old on December 7th. He is a great dog who loves kids. He is not fond of dogs and not sure about cats. HE knows sit, lay down, shake n stay. I love him very much n will miss him when he goes so I am hoping wherever he does go that I can possibly visit once in a while. If not, I truly understand. I have lung disease and my breathing is getting worse so I am unable to walk him because he is a puller. I am looking for a good home for him that preferably has a yard for him to get exercise, someone that will walk him and love him like he deserves to be loved. He is amazing❤️

Story
Suki is a 4 year old female mix breed. She is 95 pounds. I am looking to rehome her, as the couple I got her from said she was 50 lbs and when I drove to Florida to get her I was surprised by her size but did not want to see her go to a shelter as I already obligated myself. I live in an apartment and work too many hours to give her the exercise and time she truly deserves. She gets along well with my 17 year old chihuahua and my cat. She LOVES kids. I would like to see her go to someone that has a yard or country living. Please reach out if you think you would be a good fit for her. I would also like to stay in contact with new owners if at all possible. Thank you for your time 💕

Story
Alaska has been with us since he was a baby. He is currently 8 years old (his birthday is valentine’s day). In 2018, we went on a trip to Mexico and brought him home with us. We have all his medical documentation and he is up to date on his shots. He is a well behaved dog, very playful and tolerates kids. I am looking for a loving home that can provide him the time and care he deserves. He is an inside dog. He is house trained and neutered. He loves to be outdoors, watch squirrels and especially loves the snow!
