Story
I bought her from a family friend. He said that the mom rejected her puppies, so I got her at 5 weeks old. We had to bottle feed her for awhile. But she is very friendly and loving. She gets along with other dogs and kids. We named her MJ from Spiderman because she is loyal and she loves with her whole heart. But currently I cant afford her right now and I have apartment restrictions that I cant have 2 dogs.

Story
Hubbell is a wonderful dog. He's a mostly chill 6.5 year old guy who's goofy personality is starting to come out as he gets comfortable. I adopted him a few weeks ago and two days later our landlord informed us she is selling our house. I've thought long and hard and struggled with this decision. Rentals are tough with a large dog. All this to say, it's not his fault we need to rehome him. He just deserves more. Hubbell is easy to walk and listens well. He knows how to sit and I imagine could learn more with time. He loves treats and takes them very gently. He's a pretty quiet guy. He loves a walk, but currently they need to be short as he is being treated for heartworms. I have 5 months worth of medicine to send with him, as well as a shampoo for his allergies. I will be donating all of the things I've purchased for him, including a large kennel, collar and leash, and dog bed. We're working on better potty training. He's getting better and is so close with a little more patience!

Story
Need to re-home my 2 year old 100+ pounds male Anatolian Shepherd Dog. Not neutered. Needs a home without small animals. He is good at keeping away unwanted critters. His front legs are bowed from an injury when he was a puppy. He has food aggression towards other dogs so would need to be fed separately. Please reply with any questions.

Story
This is a timid dog. She usually attaches to just one person, but she adjusts well. She is good with other dogs and has been raised with cats. She loves to be in your face and will always be right by your side. She loves to sleep in the bed with you. Currently she sleeps on her own pillow at the head of the bed, usually above my head. She doesn't do well on a leash. She pulls. She loves to run. She knows the basic commands, Sit, high five, up (stands on hind legs). She always comes when called. She's still not 100% house broke, but she is kennel trained. She also uses puppy pads. If she is walked, she will go to the bathroom outside.

Story
Would you be willing to take a 2 year old male pittie? He is living in deplorable conditions. My nephew abandoned him at my parents house. They are 75/80 years old and physically unable to care for them. I already have 4 dogs and cannot take another per city regulations. He really needs help. He is super sweet but does have food aggression. He seems to be ok with dogs smaller than him as long as food is not involved - he is food aggressive. He did not like my own pittie. He has never had shots and is intact. I know this is asking a lot but if he could find a home as an only dog, he would thrive and be the best companion for someone. Patty Brants (xxx) xxx-xxxx

Bear was adopted on March 24th, 2025. Bear is currently 9 months old. He loves cuddling on the couch and loves playing with squeaky toys and laying outside soaking up the sun on warm days. Bear is really playful and loving with a lot of energy. Bear is great around kids and can be very protective when it comes to his family. We are looking for a loving and caring family to care for Bear.
