Story
Laney has been a huge part of my life for more than ten years. She has been a best friend to me. She is cuddly, sweet and loving. I am a new mom to 10 month old baby and I’ve come to the sad realization I just can’t give Laney what she needs anymore while I’m learning to be a mom. I want Laney to experience the life she’s accustomed to. Long walks, sleeping in the bedroom, yummy snacks. She gets along with the new baby but she can no longer sleep in our bedroom anymore which makes me so sad. I’ve loved Laney for 11 years and she has brought me so much joy. I’m looking for a family that is happy to take in a spunky side kick. I want her later years of life to be comfortable and pleasant. I am doing my best but my husband is allergic so she doesn’t have full access around the house like she is used to and certain areas are off limits bc of the baby.

Story
Iggy is 11 months old. We adopted him from the shelter as a recent amputee of his hind leg. We helped him recover to a full and healthy lifestyle over the last 5 months. He's a Goldendoodle Poodle Golden Retriever Mix. He's great in the car, we're working on leash manners. He's a super sweet pup, very happy to please but also a bit stubborn. We need to rehome him as our other dog just does not get along with him at all. Iggy has been fine, but there is a rivalry between the two that has just not been working and causing our older dog a lot of stress. So we're going to rehome Iggy to another home. He's so-so with small kids. He nips a bit and is a bit over-exuberant with our young 8 and 6-year-olds. Not aggressive, but it is an issue we've been working on. He's great with our cats. They swatted him around when he came into our home and he's learned his place. Ideal home is one that can give him a lot of play time to account for his energy levels, and another dog that can keep up
