Story
Akira is a 2yrs old and will be turning 3 yrs old in August 2026. She was left with me and I have tried to rehome her before. She is a great dog will be good with kids. She is lovable and will need to sleep with you and will do good in a home that has someone home and can spend time with her. She is house trained but will have occasional accidents if left home for long periods of time.I am moving by the end of the summer and I need to find a great home for her before then she is also great with cats as well. She does have separation anxiety but we have been working on that with her she is better but that may change if she adopted since we are the only family she knows. Akira will need someone who is patient with her Akira is really smart and does some tricks I will post a video of her soon. Please consider her she will make a great addition to your family.

Story
Maple is a beautiful girl with lots of love to give. While shy and unsure at first, she will warm up in time. Maple is everything she is supposed to be, she is intelligent, curious, hardworking and protective of her people. Maple was born to adventure. She loves exploring new places and has even driven (well, rode!) across the country! She is a CA girl. ☀️ Maple loves, and when I say “loves”, I mean LOVES, a good belly rub. Maple will be five on October 29, 2026. Maple would like to be the only pet in the house. I know, diva! She should not be around cats or children. If you need an adventure buddy with the most beautiful brown eyes, Maple is your girl. As much as it hurts, we are rehoming Maple because she does not get along with our other pets. We have completed training with behavioral professionals and she cannot be trusted around cats or children. Please reach out with any questions. The adoption fee will go to a charity of your choice.

Story
Hello! Meet April, she is an amazing dog to be around, works very well with family and children and is the center of attention anywhere we go. We got her as a puppy 3 years ago and is very easy to train. She already knows how to spin, dance, sit and knows the word crate and many others. Unfortunately, me and my fiancé work crazy schedules and can't tend to her as much as we would like. She loves attention and does very well with other pets and people alike. She is not a barker(unless you don't give her eye contact or attention when she wants) and does have some separation anxiety(like most dogs). She is a drama queen sometimes but not a yapper like some small dogs. She loves cuddles and watching TV with us and gets along with our cat very well. I hate to post her on here but she deserves better structure as me and my fiancé are young and very busy. All we ask is she that she deserves a good home and we want some updates from time to time as she deserves the best. She really is sweet!

Story
About Maggie Maggie is a 4-year-old, loving and sweet dog. I have opened a home daycare and it's been so hard to have Maggie around because of the noise - she barks a lot. Also, I have had interested families who need childcare, but some kids are allergic to dogs and I have had to miss those positions. Maggie deserves a calm, loving home where she can be happy and feel at peace.
