Story
Charlie is an excellent doggy but we are unable to keep him because we are moving into a condo out of state where dogs over 15 pounds are not allowed. We will have my elderly mother living with us also, which poses problems. We have had him for four months. He’s an absolute cuddle bug, very playful and would benefit from having children around. He is house trained to a point (is still a baby). Knows how to use pads and is used to being contained in an area during the night, not a crate but baby gated in the laundry room. We would love for him to be with a family but most importantly someone who will love him.

Story
Nova is a fun-loving, energetic, and affectionate dog with a playful spirit. She loves to run around, play with toys, and be around people. Whether it’s chasing a ball or just getting belly rubs, she brings a lot of joy and energy to any space she’s in. She’s great with children and is crate-trained/potty-trained/good on leash. She thrives on attention, playtime, and positive interactions. I adopted Nova from my cousin about two years ago. She has been a wonderful companion, but my schedule has become too overwhelming but my schedule has become too overwhelming to give her the time and attention she truly deserves. It’s a heartbreaking decision, but I believe finding her a home where she can be active, loved, and cared for is the best thing for her. She would do best in a home with space to play and someone who can give her plenty attention.
