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
Luna is a 7 year old German Shorthaired Pointer mix. She was adopted when she was a puppy and has been with the same owner since. She is crate trained and house trained. Unfortunately, she is not great with children and with a growing family has not adapted to our lifestyle. She is very anxious in cars and rides in a crate. That aside, she is so loving and just needs the right situation and family to love. Luna is very food motivated so if you have the time, can be easily trained. She will love you loyally if you give her the chance.

Story
Red comes from a litter of 11., I own both Mom and Dad, We took in Red t 5 1/2 months , after my mother who is handicap could not keep him because of his size and the fact he wanted to be a lap dog became to much for her in her condition. All the dogs got along great until Red reached a mature age ., at that point the father and him did not get along as there was a challenge between father and Son for Alpha Male position. He has never shown aggression only until that point He does not get along with Alpha's as he is one. He is House trained crate trained, He is lovable, great with my children, great with female dogs , loves affection, gives paw, sits, stays, loves tugg toys, tough chew toys ,and squeek toys He needs body harness as he gets excited to be out, but hates ballons...lol his nick name is Baby bear. I would like him to have a loving happy home surrounded by love and a fenced in place to run. Please.. Help in need of home.

Koda is a great dog! She's very energetic and playful. Our schedule has changed because of health issues and we no longer have the time consistently needed to really care for Koda as we once had. We think she'd make an amazing companion and pet for any family thats looking to add a new family member.
