Story
Ace is a 12-year-old Giant Schnauzer. I acquired Ace as a puppy, and he has been a loving and loyal companion ever since. He is house trained, gentle, and does very well around small children. Recently, Ace had surgery to amputate one of his toes, but he is currently on the mend and recovering well. Due to a new job and a busier schedule, I unfortunately no longer have the time to properly care for him. I am seeking a loving and caring home where Ace will get the attention and affection he deserves. Adjectives I would use to describe Ace are: affectionate, gentle, well-behaved, and resilient.

Story
Steve is a good boy who has a lot of energy to burn and love to give! We rescued him when he was four months old and he is now almost five. He’s a mutt and we’re not sure of his exact breed. Unfortunately, my husband and I both work full time and now have a young toddler and a new baby, so we are really struggling to give him what he needs. He is great with little kids but lacks spatial awareness so needs to be watched. He can be hostile around other dogs so public parks are not a great option for exercise. He is okay on a leash but has sound anxiety so walking on a busy street is tough, he would need some training. He really is a big ole goofy lovable boy who loves to give kisses and snuggles. He would be great in a home where he has lots of attention and possibly private land to run free as he has a lot of energy. He also LOVES hiking and camping! We are incredibly sad to have to lose him but want him to find the best environment and home where he can really thrive.

Story
From cuddling on the couch to playing in the back yard, Enzo is a fun loving dog. People are always commenting on his beautiful brindle fur. He is crate trained and housebroken. He knows sit, stay, and come. He is smart and treat motivated. He loves playing with rope toys, stuffed toys and playing fetch. He loves to cuddle with people and snuggle in blankets. He likes to play outside in the yard. It would be best if he is the only pet in the home.

Story
❤️ Sonar is a purebred American bully and is the sweetest boy. Super loving, curious, and silly. He likes to sleep in and cuddle. He is the most affectionate dog I have ever had. Unfortunately, due to reactivity challenges, Sonar and my other dogs do not get along. Sonar is the best dog, but needs to be in a home where he is the only dog. He is good on walks (assuming you avoid other dogs) and loves squeaky toys. Sonar is around two years of age, is 72 lbs, and is up-to-date on all of his shots and is microchipped. He gets regular preventative flea/tick/heartworm meds and is on an inexpensive antianxiety medication. He is great with all kinds of people/visitors. I love him to death and would be so sad to see him leave but I feel its best at this point for him to find a loving home where he can be the only dog in the household.

Story
Meet Miah Meet Miah! This sweet girl is relatively mellow but can get a little silly and playful with her humans or dog friends. :-) Some of her favorite activities include sniffing absolutely everything on a walk and playing fetch with her humans. Miah can be a little fearful in certain situations. Meeting a new human, she may need a few minutes to warm up. But once she realizes you're safe, she would love to have your attention and scritches. :-) She pup has been living with another male dog of similar size and they do great together! Miah will play and snuggle with her housemate dog but often just does her own thing. So a home with another dog could work out after a proper introduction. She has no experience living with cats but appears to have pretty high prey drive (SQUIRREL!), so we recommend a home without kitties. Miah is losing her home because her loving human "mom" has gone through a recent move and lifestyle change and is no longer able to meet Miah's needs.
