Story
Bullet was adopted three years ago. It took some time for him to transition, but he became an amazing dog and his confidence shown through. He is amazing with children and a staunch protector of them. When he was first adopted, he did have some difficulties with house training that he quickly overcame. Unfortunately, our family is going through a difficult divorce and he is no longer getting the care he needs and deserves and the house training issues have resurfaced.

Story
Meet Kyro: The Sweet, Trained American Bully! Kyro is a 4-year-old (08/23/2021), AKC registered, microchipped American Bully. Rehoming Reason: Kyro was my mom’s dog, but he has become a little too much for her to handle as she’s getting older. I currently have him and would love to keep him, but unfortunately I am allergic to dogs. He is the perfect mix: energetic and curious outdoors, but a super chill indoor dog. While he does well in apartments, he would thrive in a larger home or a place with decent outdoor space to burn energy. He loves walks! Kyro is house trained, completed formal basic training, and is quiet, obedient, does not bark or chew. He has lived with cats and is good with mild-tempered dogs. Looking for a sweet, loyal companion? Kyro is your guy!

Shiba Inu

Story
Nayeli is a super sweet Shiba/ Pom mix who's a little over a year old and with tons of love to give. She's great to hang out with at home or to take on long hikes with. She is partly house-trained, but is still not fully reliable. Unfortunately she does have pretty significant separation anxiety and given that my partner and I work full time, we've realized that we're not the right fit for what she needs. We think she'd do well with another dog to keep her company, more people in the house, and maybe a yard to play in. It takes her a bit to warm up to people but once she does, she's the sweetest in the world!

Story
Hello, my name is Pippy. I am an 11 year old American Foxhound. I am very loyal and loving of whomever would be my new owner. I love giving kisses and having my body rubbed. It would be great if you had a fenced in back yard for me to run around. I'm also ok in an apartment, but would need be walked to get my exercise. I love treats for being a good girl or just because. I know basic commands of sit, stay, giving paw, come. If interested, please respond to ad.
