Story
Moco is friendly, loving, caring, and food-motivated. He loves to cuddle and give kisses, and he's never met a human stranger. He cues you when he needs to go outside. He is gentle with taking treats, he doesn't pull on a leash, he knows how to sit and give you his paw. I can't say enough good things about him. However, it appears he has a high prey drive and he would not do well with cats. He also is not a fan of small dogs so he would be best in a home with big dogs only or as an only pet. This breaks my heart to do, but I have to consider the lives of the pets in my home, and we've had some close calls. Thank you for considering Moco to be part of your family.

Story
Bentley is a boxer mix about 2 years old, he was adopted from a family that found him as a stray a listed him online for adoption. Bentley is LOVES to be petted, he is extremely affectionate, and has a lot of energy. Must have a leash on outside or he will run off, won’t bark in the house, but will bark outside. Not mean at all, loves people, friendly towards new people but again lots of energy, has to be introduced to other dogs slowly. Has been raised since a puppy with another dog a husky named Sega (pictured). I am hoping to rehome them together if possible, Sega has a listing also. They are very close, they are like peas in a pod! They do everything together, play, sleep, all of it. When they are in the backyard they follow each around all day, from one spot to another lol. If you can rehome them both please let me know, i lost my home unexpectedly so i can no longer keep them. Feel free to ask any questions.
