Story
Ahna had been with me since a puppy. I purchased her from a friend who had a pure litter. Service animal well trained. Ahna will be 5 in March. No litters never have been aggressive. Excellent with kids. She loves to swim and play with her ball. I am looking for someone who will have the time and patience to take care and love on her she is very family oriented and loves attention. She has traveled across state and does great in the car. House trained & loves to speak. Very adventurous and loves to be outdoors. I have had her on a natural diet but she does eat regular dog food on occasions preferably Ol’Roy to prevent coat from breaking out. She loves the outdoors very energetic even at her age now. Overall a great dog and companion. Ahna knows several commands and does great off leash. Very friendly around other dogs and other animals.

Story
I brought Shah as a puppy after I got divorced four years ago. He was the perfect companion that literally helped me overcome the stresses and emotions behind divorcing. He and I always spent time together even now we do. Shah doesn’t know his size lol. He thinks he is a lap dog that will give you love and licks until you’re over it. The most amazing and fun dog I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, I must admit I never realized his size would impact my neighbors and rental office stance on him. He is a pretty big boy that has so much love to give. I have to get him a beautiful home somehow for they have forced me to get rid of him. I would love to see him continue to heal someone else and give them all the love he has as well.

Story
I`m in a foster home! To adopt me, email my foster parents at lucyyk19@gmail.com.Dori Sunshine is adorable! She adores being loved and giving it right back. And she has the most amazing markings with such a dear boopable sniffy snout. This wonderful, sweet girl is in foster and has charmed the neighborhood. Dori Sunshine is potty trained and has done well on her own at home, and is friendly with new people, including children. Dori Sunshine has a playful side and enjoys a good game of fetch but tends toward a more chill vibe, gently requesting pets and belly rubs and chewing her stuffies. Dori just wants to spend her days relaxing and enjoying life while you bask in her soulful, adoring gaze! Dori loves to go for walks and happily dons her harness. She calmly sleeps through the night in her own room and greets us with soft kisses in the morning. She`s been fine staying on her own for stretches during the day, too, and hasn`t had one accident! She`s very friendly and charms all she meets with her kind greetings and too adorable spots. She has been wonderful with school-aged kids who visit her foster home. Dori is very attentive and smart. She checks in a lot to see what you want her to be doing.  She`s got `sit` down pat and is quickly adding new skills to her repertoire. Dori can`t wait to find her new family. Please meet this beautiful gal soon!Dori was also so loved by all at the shelter. One volunteer shared, `Dori Sunshine is so smart that she focuses on you for love and guidance. She loves treats and she likes her cuddles.` And another said, `She is very sweet and friendly and a total joy - the perfect blend of playful and chill … still young enough for some puppy fun but already knows how to relax and soak up the love. Her gentle, joyful personality is just waiting to shine in a home of her own.` - previously coexisted with a small dog - previously lived with a cat - good with kids
