Story
Not food aggressiveNot toy aggressiveVery friendly and lovableCan give her kisses on the snout and she is not aggressiveRescued from a home that had 4 children under the age of 8.Will poop on a pee pad but still need work on not peeing on the floors. Loves to play fetch, roll around on the floor with you, and snuggle with you.Walks well on a leash and won’t try to chase something if she sees it. She was on cheap dog food at her home, so lots of very smelly flatulence and multiple piles of poop a day.

Story
Say hello to Bella. We adopted this sweet girl in September. She is house trained and needs someone to continue working on her other training needs. She is very cuddly and playful. Unfortunately, she does not get along with our other dog and needs a home where she is the only animal. We will include her crate and toys. We can meet with you so you can see if this ball of love will fit into your home. Right now she can be overly enthusiastic so I’m not sure how she is with small children. She is also very food driven. Bella is 50 pounds and medium sized. She’s very strong and will need training and patience. If you think you can open your home to this sweet girl, let’s meet and see if she is right for you. Again, I highly recommend she be your only animal. Willing to waive the adoption fee for the right applicant. Thanks.

Story
Mav is our 8-year-old mini Goldendoodle, adopted in 2017, and he has been a deeply loved part of our family ever since. He’s adventurous, loves long walks, but also enjoys relaxing and having his quiet time during the day.He is a very sweet, gentle dog with no history of aggression and is great with our two young children (ages 4 and 2). While he doesn’t do well with other dogs, it’s out of fear and he prefers to keep his distance.This has been an incredibly hard decision for us. Maverick is very attached to my husband, and over the past few years, his demanding work schedule has caused Maverick significant anxiety. When my husband is away, Mav cries, struggles to settle, and has become increasingly uneasy in our home. We love him so much, and this decision comes from wanting him to be truly happy again. We are hoping to find a family who can provide a consistent routine, lots of love, and a calm home where he can feel secure and at ease.

Dafny AVAILABLE FOR: Adoption BORN: December 2014 SEX: Female BREED: Cane Corso Mix WEIGHT: 90 lbs. MARL ARRIVAL: Stray BACKGROUND: Meet our sweet senior Cane Corso! Don’t let her age fool you—she’s still active enough to keep up with you, but what she really wants is to be by your side. She adores people, loves everyone she meets, and is happiest when she’s part of the action. True to her goofy nature, she firmly believes she’s an 80-pound lap dog, even if she doesn’t quite realize her own strength. This loving girl is looking for a forever home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by care, comfort, and plenty of cuddles. COMPATIBILITY: Based on our evaluation, we feel that Dafny has the potential to get along with other dogs. Dafny would do best in a home without cats. MEDICAL NEEDS: None. ADOPTION FEE: $250
