Story
Yogi is a younger hyper pup. He is good with other dogs but it does take an adjustment at first. His biggest problem is he jumps. He will jump on you but that is trainable. We love him but we got in over our head having multiple dogs and multiple kids. Times are tough and unfortunately funds aren't there nor is time and patience. He needs to be with ppl who will give him the love he deserves the walks he loves so much and the time that I wish we could give. We have had him for almost two years and we took him in from someone who couldn't take care of him when he was about 8 months old. Side note. From experience yogi needs to be crated when left alone. He is crate trained! does really well In a crate and is seemingly comfortable being in one.

Story
Phoebe is a young Phoebe (Mutt mix). She is a great dog who is playful and silly! We recently moved to an apartment and she is not a good fit for this lifestyle. She enjoys running as fast as she can and loves all the treats. She really needs a home with a yard where she can roam and explore.Phoebe is:• Playful and silly• High energy (loves running fast)• Highly food motivated• Best suited for a home with a yard• House-trained, crate trained, and leash trained but could use more training on the leash

Story
Gotham is a 14 month old black lab! He has high energy, knows no personal space, and is looking for his forever home. He LOVES to play with soft toys, tennis balls, and chew a good bone. He needs a bit of training, but he’s a quick learner. He’s extremely treat motivated. He needs proper introduction to other dogs, but does well once comfortable. He loves attention from all people including kids. Potty trained and 90% crate trained. He has some allergies and will cough if he gets too excited, eats too fast, or sniffs a bush too hard. I unfortunately need to rehome him due to medical issues. Hopefully you will be the next perfect companion for this lovable boy!
