Story
Luna is a 90 pound female black lab mix, originally adopted from the LASPCA. She is a happy dog who loves humans and has been good with our young child, but is territorial with other dogs, especially females. We are needing to rehome Luna due to our other female dog, Annie, who is an aggressive alpha female. As Annie is our "senior"/primary dog, it looks like we have no choice but to find another home for Luna. Luna is overall sweet, but is rambunctious. House-trained, can provide all medical paperwork. Some obedience training, knows to sit and wait for meals (2x day, dry food), can sit before going outside. Luna is not aggressive or mean by default, but is very powerful when triggered/provoked. If you already have another dog, *especially female*, Luna might not be the right addition to your pack.

Story
Beaux, a charming Yorkshire Terrier, is a two-year-old CKC Certified pup who has been a cherished member of our family since he was just 8 weeks old. However, due to my increasing travel commitments at work, I am seeking a loving parent or parents who can provide him with a warm and welcoming home, making this transition as smooth as possible. Beaux is already house trained and comfortable in a kennel. He is an active, affectionate, and playful companion who loves to cuddle. He is also curious, great with families, and occasionally shows a bit of stubbornness. Rest assured, Beaux is completely up to date on all his vaccines, lab work, and medical exams. While we will miss him dearly, it is not fair for him to be consistently boarded due to my demanding work schedule.

Story
Georgia is a love bug and is very fond of belly rubs and snuggling on the couch. She can be shy and nervous at first in a new home but once she gets comfortable she will be so excited when you invite her into your space. She’s very smart and picks up new commands fairly quickly. Georgia is not much into playing fetch but she looks forward to taking daily walks to explore. She’d make a great running buddy too. Georgia thinks it's her duty to keep the neighborhood safe from cats and squirrels. She does great with other dogs and she’s good with children. She can be a bit of an escape artist so a well fenced in yard is a must. . If interested please complete our application at https://form.jotform.com/210965787441061

Story
Amy is a wonderful and energetic companion! Border Collie Lab mixes often inherit the intelligence and agility of both breeds, making them great for activities and play. It's fantastic that she's sweet, loving, and housebroken – those are excellent qualities in a pet. Interactive toys, games, and outdoor activities can be great ways to keep her engaged and happy. Her love for cuddling is heartwarming, and it's a great opportunity to build a strong bond. Regular cuddle sessions can contribute to a positive and trusting relationship between you and Amy. She is a lovely and well-rounded 3 yr old doggo! If you can help Amy please complete our application at https://form.jotform.com/210965787441061
