Story
It breaks my heart to do this; I no longer have the time that Valentina deserves. She is a beautiful, active, and very lovable German Shepherd who needs a home where she can receive the attention, exercise, and care she needs.Valentina is house-trained and does well in the home. She does need professional training, especially with leash walking, and she can sometimes become overly excited and difficult to manage. However, she is a sweet, playful, and affectionate dog who loves people and has so much potential with the right owner.We are looking to rehome her as soon as possible to a loving family or individual who can provide her with the time, training, and care that she deserves. If you think you can give Valentina a forever home, please reach out for more information.

Story
His name is Saint and he’s one month away from turning 5. I adopted him at 7 weeks when I lived in a home more suitable for him, but have since moved. He’s very energetic, passive, and loving as most huskies are. However, he tends to be a bit anxious when left alone and hasn’t spent much time socializing with other dogs, but has been raised around cats. He’s currently up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered, so he’s not aggressive unless provoked. He can become territorial towards his belongings. I’ve raised him on a kibble / protein mixture diet. He’s relatively healthy and has no known allergies or health conditions. We let him roam freely around the house, but have dealt with destructive chewing when left alone. He responds well to his name (when he’s not being stubborn) and is used to 3 walks/day

Story
Hi, my name is Sonny. I just turned 6 years old May 25th. I love to cuddle and I’m a great companion. I love chasing the ball, going for long walks and runs. I’m loyal and good to my humans. Sonny has been with us for 6 years. We adopted him from Aruba when he was 4 months old. He is a “canuco” but looks like a pitbull lab mix. He is 60 pounds and good with our children. He does not get along with most dogs and has bit two dogs before. We are looking to find him a good home where he can be a great companion with plenty of space to run and be free. He loves to cuddle and sleep in bed with you. He does not like the mailman and barks when mail is delivered. He bit our parents dog who lives next door twice and he can’t be trusted with other dogs. He is a part of our family but we need to make sure this doesn’t happen again. He is up to date on shots and is really a loving good boy. He can run for miles and also be lazy all day.

Story
I adopted Bishop 6 years ago from a pound in West Virginia. I've spent countless hours loving and training him. Bishop is coming up on 11 years old so generally he's on the more mellow side. He's very loving with his people and will spend all day next to you on the couch or sunbathing. He no longer needs a ton of exercise since he's older. just a walk and a short play will suit him wonderfully. Over the years Bishop has grown into a lovely companion, unfortunately he does have a checkered past so he struggles with moderate resource guarding. Just make sure he's fed on the opposite side of the room from any other pets. He has a few select doggy friends but when introduced to new people and dogs things have to move pretty slowly. He has lived with other dogs in the past. I think Bishop would do well in a calm house with zero or one other dog, no kids, and either a large yard with no nearby neighbors or some open, calm space. Bishop is loyal, loving, protective, and a little crazy.
