Story
Lyla is our 5-year- old treasure that I rescued several years ago. She’s a very affectionate and loyal sweetheart who wants to be loved at all times. Lyla is a very active companion but also enjoys just lounging around the house while in good company. The reason I’m re-homing Lyla is because I will be deploying for 1-2 years and cannot take her with me.

Story
Maggie is a 7 or 8 year old dutch shepherd. She was our neighbors dog that was forced to get rid of her because of relationship issues between the parents. I am now fostering Maggie until we can find her a new good fit home. Maggie needs a loving family or individual that has no other dogs and is willing work with her. She has been neglected at home by being left for hours upon hours at a time.

Story
We got Freya 5 years ago from a puppy farm in PA. She is 5 years old her birthday is March 3rd. We unfortunately have to rehome my sweet girl because my wife and I just had a baby, and Freya does not like him. We have sent her away for behavioral training for 4 weeks, and she still does not like the baby. We have contacted many trainers, and Vets about trying to keep her but the end result is she just doesn't like children. Freya is very smart, learns really fast, and needs to be kept busy. She is crate trained, e-collar, and leash trained. She plays fetch, loves to track hidden treats. She needs a place to run, and someone that can work her, things to keep her mind busy. She is mostly Malinois so cannot be left alone for long periods of time they destroy things when bored.

Story
Hi, I’m Chamari. I’ve had Dice since she was a baby. I am all she knows. I am not placing a fee because this is not about money & a very emotional decision for me. I recently became with child & I have to relocate back to NYC where we are from & I am unable to take her back with me. She is loving, spoiled, and well cared for. She is playful, sweet & loves to cuddle. I am looking for a home for her where she will be able to be just that. She loves snacks, she has her special blanket she chews on & I allow her on my bed, couch & anywhere that I can be. I need someone who truly loves dogs. Who’s going to take care of her with love! Be kind & patient to her
