Story
Blu is 1 years old. His birthday is September 3rd. He has a lot of energy, Very playful, & loves cucumber. He love toys, especially the one that squeak! I do advise you to buy hard toys because he destroy almost all toys. He don’t really like baths but he’ll sit there when you tell him to. He do listen when you’re serious. I did train him a bit. He know sit, lay, paw, no, get out, outside, eat, spit it out-(he do put random things in his mouth)-, stay and stop. He needs a lot of attention.

Story
Gizmo is a 9 year old Shih Tzu. Gizmo has been in our family since he was 8 weeks old. We are wanting to rehome him only because we have noticed he will do better in a home without smaller children preferably older children. He is a loving, fun, full of cuddles and very energetic dog. Gizmo does well around smaller dogs and cats, but he does like his space. Looking for a home that will give him unconditional love, and a home that doesn’t have smaller children preferably older children . Not sure how he will do in a home with a larger dog, but he is currently in a home with a medium size dog and cat. A home with a fenced in yard would be a plus as he loves to run around.

Story
Lilly is an obedient, loving, and loyal dog. She is about 6 years old now. We were not given information about her birth so we guessed. Lilly is house trained and full of love. She enjoys cuddling and is a quiet dog. She loves to play with other dogs and is extremely tolerant of children of all ages, but works best with children over the age of 5. She will be excited to see you EVERY TIME you arrive home, waiting at the front door with her tail wagging. She loves to give hugs. She will get up on her hind legs and let you hug her as if she was human. Lilly could use some work and guidance to go on walks. Lilly has separation anxiety and will get into things while you are away. My family has become so busy over the years and it just is not fair to Lilly to stay in her kennel for the amount of time we are away from home. Perfect dog for those at home often. She is content and well behaved when owner is home. Goes in her kennel when requested. Very loyal and loving!
