Story
Inuyasha is a male labrador retriever mix. He is very loving and loves when you pet him and loves attention, he is also great with kids. He is five years old and house broken. The reason we need to re house him is because we recently found out that my young son is allergic to him and because of the allergy my son's asthma has gotten worse. My son has asthma and has to be on two types of inhalers and just recently has had a persistent cough. I cannot in good conscience keep exposing him to pet dander even though Inuyasha is the greatest dog. Inuyasha also gets along great with other dogs, he goes to a doggy day care intermittently and gets great reports. We want Inuyasha to go to a loving home with a backyard.

Story
Freddy is a wonderful dog and great companion. He is what is called a Boxerdor - a Lab/Boxer mix we bought from a private breeder. He will be 6 years old in September. He loves to run and play and he loves people. Freddy is extremely loving, deeply loyal and relational, very smart and still playful. He is protective of my husband and I. And therefore, he has had a few instances of attacking a dog he thought was posing a threat. However, at other times, Fred gets along beautifully with other dogs and enjoys their company greatly. We have NEVER had any complaints from the kennel we use. He is very well behaved when he goes to the Vet or for a bath and nail trim. My husband and I are now both retire and he is too large a dog for us to keep up with.... And when we want to travel for extended times it is simply too expensive on our limited income for us to continue boarding him when we are away. All we want is for him to be in a loving, caring home.

Story
Brandy is probably the sweetest dog I’ve ever known. She’s very smart, loving and patient and loyal. She never strays. She loves to be off leash when I take her to the park. She’s so trustworthy chasing sticks and balls getting along with everyone I have been dealing with depression I couldn’t let go of her unless I knew she choose you hopefully by then with prayer and meditation we can conquer this burden

Story
This is Willow. She needs a big yard or fenced in yard that she can be out whenever she pleases. She loves to be outside no matter the weather. She has to be out. She is a Belgium Malinois Husky Mix. She is going to be 4. She is UTD on vaccines, she is spayed, potty trained and is chipped and pretty decent about manners. She is full of personality, dramatic, rambunctious and a great cuddler. She gets along well with Cats, Dogs and all feral children. She loves dog parks camping, car rides, exploring, beaches... you name it. I would suggest a home with older children as she is hyperactive and jumpy especially when she is excited. (Her Breed) She doesn't do the best on the leash as she's always been kind of a free roamer but knows to stay close and in sight. She listens to silent commands and will ring the bell to let you know she wants out- She is kennel trained Vet Ref Req.
