Story

bella is a 6-year-old yorkie looking for a calm, stable home. she is very affectionate, clingy, and bonds deeply with her person. she is fully potty trained and does best as the only pet. bella is anxious around other dogs and prefers quiet environments. she has a sensitive stomach, is allergic to fish products, and needs a consistent diet. she also has patella issues, so she does best in a home without lots of stairs or rough play. she is a loving companion who needs someone patient and understanding who can give her daily stability and attention. i’m rehoming her due to personal circumstances, and i want her to have the peaceful, consistent environment she deserves. no fee — i just want her to go to a safe, responsible, loving home. serious inquiries only.

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ozzy is truly the sweetest big baby on earth. He loves to be outdoors and play tug. He went through a 3 week boarding school at Premier Dog Training as a puppy (1 year) to help with minor food aggression. Since then he hasn’t had any serious issues with food and stops and waits on command. He does not see himself as a big dog but a tiny baby who loves to be held, cuddled and babied. He has minimal experience around other dogs and small children. We unfortunately just do not have the time to give him the love and attention he really deserves. Ozzy comes with a month supply of food and other care and grooming items we have for him.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Thor — a loyal, affectionate, and playful 2-year-old Rottweiler who’s ready to win your heart. Thor is incredibly friendly: he loves playing outdoors, chasing balls, and spending long afternoons running around. He adores interacting with other dogs, making him a perfect fit for a home with a canine companion or someone who frequents dog parks. With kids, Thor is a gentle giant — patient, sweet, and protective. He has been around children and always shows a calm, loving demeanor. He’s not just strong; he’s sensitive, too — quick to cuddle and eager to be part of family moments. From a health standpoint, Thor has his vaccinations fully up to date and is in excellent shape. His veterinary records are ready to go so his new family knows exactly where he stands. The reason for rehoming is not because of behavior — it's purely a life change: his current owner is relocating for school, and, heartbreakingly, won’t be able to give Thor the time and space he deserves.

Zeus is 3yrs old Born Jan 14th. Thor is 1, born Oct 20th. They are brothers from the same parents just two different litters. Both are very playful and love kids! Both are crate and potty trained. Zeus has minor anxiety and can be skittish with load noises. Thor is full of energy. They both enjoy going to an empty field and stretching their legs. This year has been hard for them. They were brought into a loving home Due to unforeseen circumstances my son and I had to abruptly leave in April of 2025. They stayed with my ex in their home that was familiar. Now that my ex has moved and could not take the boys they are living with acquaintances who we recently found out is abusing them (Oct). Please, we are looking for a loving family that is willing to keep them together.
