Story
This is carbón she is an 1 year old spayed staffordshire terrier. Carbón just wants her forever home! To be successful in that forever home, carbon needs a family who can spend one-on-one time with her to teach more commands and manners. She’s smart she knows how to sit, lay and give paw! She loves to be near you and wants to know what you are doing at all times. She does love running around playing fetch. She does great on car rides, crate also potty trained.

Story
My wife and I have had Murphy for 7 years. He's listens well, knows many tricks and is very playful. He actively seeks human affection and attention. He is a little on the hyper side at times and loves to run around and burn off energy in the yard. The reason we are looking for a good new home for our dog is he just doesn't get the attention he needs. We have a 1 and a half year old daughter and are trying for baby number two so we have not been able to be as attentive to him as we would like to. He is great with our daughter but hey have been separated for the most part since she was born. He is great when playing with her and lets her pet him whenever she wants. We have kept them separate as sometimes doesn't know his own size so we don't want her to get trampled or accidentally scratched if the doorbell rings or someone comes over. He has been great with other dogs but has not had much expose to other animals. We are looking for a home that can give him the attention he needs.

Story
Bea is a very sweet girl who loves giving attention to anyone who comes her way. She is almost 2 years old, and spayed. She has never shown any signs of aggression, and plays well with other dogs. She would be best fitted in a home with a family who has lots of time to spend and play with her, especially with a big backyard. She loves the beach and water, going on walks, and napping next to you on the couch. She does have epilepsy that has become controlled on two medications. She also has a patellar luxation on her R hind leg that is worse in the cold, and she can take an as needed pain medication for that.

Story
We got Perrin in December 2017 at 8 weeks old. Pure bred German Shepard. We are now pregnant and while he is good with our niece, in addition to our other dog, Perrin is too high energy with visitors and barking. It will be too overwhelming with a baby for us. He is 7 years old this August. He was professionally trained as a puppy. He does well with his basic commands. We have a shock collar we rarely use. Treats do the trick if we need him to do something. He does good with our other dog and other family members dogs but he is not the biggest fan of other dogs/ dog parks. He takes time to warm up and dog parks are overwhelming for him. He took like 30 min with our other dog and then was great! He is a big cuddle bug and loves new toys. He’s great on walks with not pulling. Perrin also has EPI so he requires pancreatic powder in his food every day. About $50/month maybe. We get the prescription through chewy pharmacy.
