Story
Freya is a 5 yr old female Mastiff/Husky mix who is big, beautiful, sassy, and full of personality. She has the biggest heart and is an incredibly loving and affectionate dog. She is very vocal and, if you ask her to speak, she will definitely have something to say. Freya does well with children, although because of her size and excitement, she can sometimes get carried away and barrel through small kids when they’re running around playing cause she wants to play also. She can be a little bossy with other dogs, but she also has a sweet and funny side. She can be standoffish at first to other dogs but if she can smell them she usually will be fine. She will def need another fury friend to play with. She hasn't been around other females her size, so not sure about that. She has had her first couple years of shots. She just really needs a family to love her like she is loved now, I believe she can become part of another family and love them as her own. Praying the right family finds her❤️

Story
My emotional support pet was given to my daughter by our neighbor 7 years ago after a family member died. He is a very loving dog and loved by my neighbors. Please contact me for details. My dog lived with a cat for 7 years and likes playing with small dogs. He is a fun loving teddy bear that loves his human neighbors especially his elderly neighbor that he changes his energy to super gentle and slow moving when she is around. He is protective not aggressive and that is the reason I have to give him up. While resting after walking him (dog was still on leash and sniffing) in my home and a maintenance worker ignored my warning to stay at my stairs while preparing to catch my breathe and get him back to his kennel; I tripped and fell. He thought maintenance worker was a threat especially since I said stop from the beginning. My prayer is someone with a farm or plenty of room to roam or an owner that is energetic that likes parks and extended walk time will adopt him. No fee, loving home.

Story
My name is Chance. Im a standard bully I think. Im 2 yrs old. Im fixed and I have a microchip. Im ok around other dogs. I live with 4 others now. I would like to be the only dog you have. I love to snuggle and play. Throw a ball and ill go crazy. I love treats. Im truly a good dog. Im potty trained and good off a leash in a protected area. And i love to sleep in bed with you and steal your covers, too. I won't give you much space. I will be all over you if you let me. Im a couch potato. I just want to be your only pet. I love to play all the time. Just need someone to be patient with me and truly love me. Im learning things a little late in life, my rescuers I live with now have shown me what its like to sleep in a warm bed and have fresh water and food and attention. But im learning. Please, Give me a CHANCE. I won't let you down. ❤️ 🐶 🐕
