Story
We adopted Appa a bit over a year ago, as a puppy. He was born October 22, 2024. He is a sweet, smart dog. He has learned to sit, lay down, "place" (go lay down in a certain spot), stay (we are working to extend the time, but he can "stay" with reminders for almost a minute). Appa is 100% housetrained. We have 3 cats who he loves and is very gentle with. We have 2 children (tween & teen) whom he adores. Issues are in getting him leash trained. He is very distracted outside and pulls a lot on the leash. We do not have a yard, but I have taken him to a friend's fenced in yard and he loves it. He loves to play fetch. We are experiencing a shift in our family make up and now have only one adult, so can no longer provide the care he needs, thus are looking to rehome him. Appa would make a great pet for someone with a fenced in yard and time to spend indoors with him. He likes to be close to "his people".

Story
Luna is the sweetest dog. We really love her, she is extremely happy, never barks , is great with children . 98% of the time she is like a cat and sleeps throughout the day.We have 2 small children right now and can’t give her the love and attention she deserves. We feel terribly that this is the case, but she hardly gets walked right now and spends most of her time on her bed nearby. She has been very sweet with the kids , and is really only an issue when someone new shows up at the house, she gets very excited and will run in the living room which is difficult to manage with small children in the house . She calms down after a few minutes . She deserves more than we’ve been able to provide the last couple of years and want to make sure she can have the best life possible.

Story
She is s a loving dog. She loves head scratches and running outside just like any other dog. She is a big breed and needs a lot of love, attention and training. She deserves a home that has time for her to grow and prosper. She was born some time in December ‘24 I’ve had her since March ‘25. She is still a puppy with a big heart. I have a busy schedule and she needs more time than I have for her right now. I moved, so I’ve had to work more to make ends meet. She deserves the whole world. She still has trouble making it outside on time to use the bathroom. She has accidents in her cage, but has been improving slowly. She gets along with other dogs, she is very playful. She gets along with my house cat. She’s just recently finding her “voice”. She’s now due for her rabies shot after a year. If anyone can provide the space, time, financial stability and training she needs please reach out. She needs a lot of help I haven’t been able to provide properly. Thank you.

Story
Marcelline (or Marcy for short) is a 3 year old medium sized lab mix with that is very loyal and loving. I took her in from a family in AZ that had an unexpected litter of puppies and raised her from about 6 months old. She lived with me, my mom, her dog (whippet mix) and our cat in our home in GA for most of her life but my mother moved and was unable to house both pups. I took Marcy with me on the road and attempted to make things work but unfortunately am unable to give her the attention and training she deserves so am looking to give her a peaceful forever home. She loves to go on walks and run around. She listens very well but has not been fully socialized and is very nervous around new people and animals. She warms up to new people quickly but I have learned she guards attention around new animals. I think she would be an amazing solo dog for someone that has the time to teach her better behavior.I have all of her vet and shot paperwork on hand.

Story
Juneau was a spur of the moment purchase when we went to buy ducks. We don’t know anything about him, not even his actual age as the people who had them took them in from a friend who fell ill. Or that’s the story we got. He’s a big mush. He will protect your farm. He is outside 24/7 and only comes in on occassions for a treat.. he’s not quite housebroken for this reason. He has been kept with goats with no issues. He was kept with another neutered male dog and they did not get along. He gets along fine with my female indoor dogs. He topples kids over but he’s not aggressive towards them. He just doesn’t know his size which if I had to guess is about 120lbs or so. He’s a big boy. I’m disabled now and I can’t quite control him physically anymore.
