Story
We got Hennessey from Texas. She is pure breed Doberman. We have her papers to show family blood line. She is two years and nine months old. Her third birthday is September 26, 2026. She needs a home that is active with walks and enjoys playing. As she is toy motivated and has a lot of energy to burn. She's a very loving dog and wants to give her attention to someone who will return the love. She can be calm in doors but tends to be excited when outside and playing. She doesn't bark rudely but more so excitedly to keep playing. She is house trained, potted trained and will let you know when she needs something. We have a toddler in the home; she is cautious and safe around kids. We are currently expecting with our second child while both working full time and cannot give her the attention she needs. We are sad to have to make this decision as we have grown to love her dearly. We want her to go to a good home that will care for her and give her a life of love.

Story
Loki is a rescue/foster pup that we took under our wing after he was found malnourished by his previous owner. He was thin and very shy when we first got him a few years back. His weight is up and he is a happy and healthy dog. He is submissive, and safe around other animals and children. He craves a lot of attention and likes to play. He’s house broken, but will potty near the back door if left inside too long. We have a very busy work schedule and two children, so we can no longer provide the care he deserves. We want to see him go to someone who will care for him. He loves to play outside and will fetch a ball for as long as you’re willing to throw it. He is a very sweet and loving dog.

Story
Sweet Maize (May-zee) needs a lot of attention. Adopted her from a shelter and have worked on her anxiety issues. She has come a long wayShe is good with cats and MOST dogs. One of our dogs is high energy and prone to aggression toward her. She deserves a safer space than we can provide.She exhibits PTSD-like behavior and needs a calm place with a regular routine.She is wary around men, and it takes a long time for her to accept them around..She will not hurt kids, but the activity level may be a challenge for her.She needs a very patient female around willing to get her integrated into a new environment.She does okay on field trips with her person. Regular outings to regular places helps.

Story
Ziggy truly is a sweet dog. He loves to cuddle and is very protective. He does not enjoy getting his nails clipped, being pushed at all or being brushed. He will actually physically try to attack the clippers and the brush. He has a thick coat of hair that we really never been able to brush in the past. We got a second English bulldog a few years ago and they somewhat get along, but do fight occasionally. Mainly caused by our other bulldog, but it is scared saggy and he seems unhappy. We would love for Ziggy to go to a home without kids or even another dog, if that’s possible. He loves to cuddle and he would do so well with a one or two person family. He loves to sleep. He can go on a short walk, but he’s pretty lazy so he likes the couch. He loves it when you get home, he’ll always come to the door and greet you. He needs someone very patient with him because of his special needs.

Story
EVY (formerly Harley;name was changed only because I already have a dog named Harley) is a 55-lb American Pocket Bully, approximately 5,6 years old. She is a loving, people-oriented couch dog who does great with older children, including my kids and neighborhood kids. I took her in to help her breeder, but the breeder has since moved and is unable to take her back. Due to my recent divorce, hysterectomy recovery, financial strain, and managing multiple dogs, I can no longer provide the environment EVY needs. She gets along well with two of my dogs but has shown aggression toward one dogs and they do not cohabitate safely despite management efforts. Because of this, EVY may do best as an only dog or with an experienced owner who understands dog behavior and introductions. Cat compatibility is unknown. She enjoys walks and outdoor time but loves to stay indoors, she is a princess! The breeder stated her vaccinations were up to date likely need updated and spayed.
