Story
This is winter, she is named this I assume because she was born in January. She is the sweetest, girl ever met. She does this wiggle thing everytime you come back home to her or anytime new people enter the room. She’s so easily trainable. She knows bring it here, come here, drop it, leave it, high five, sit, lay down, turn around, and catch. She is a fast learner. She gets along with everyone. She loves walks and the Dog park and can Be off leash in an open field. She love, love, loves playing fetch, will need a cut off time unless you can keep up lol. She is kennel trained but when I leave the house she stays out the kennel and only ever is in the kennel if she doesnt listen to bone off bed;. Which she does have her own bed but I allow her to sleep on the bed sometimes and when I want her off the bed she will go to her own. I would love an active family for her. I would love to babysit her in future if you are willing. Shes lovable and deserves to be loved.

Story
Meet Mundo! Mundo is a sweet and spirited little bulldog. He is 1.5 year old, 49lbs, fully potty trained, kennel trained, neutered, and still has puppy energy. He has a more athletic build for his breed and loves to run and play, but will settle down on the couch with us when tired. Mundo will need a strong, patient, & loving pack leader. He is not good with other dogs or cats. Mundo absolutely loves children, but to an extreme. He gets too enthusiastic when children are around and wants to climb/jump and lick their face as much as possible. Because of this, I recommend he goes to a home with older children only. He does not have any issues with breathing, but he does have one cherry eye that has had two surgeries and still pops out, which will need attention. If you have the time and energy for a highly energetic and stubborn cutie, Mundo may be a good match for you. He will reward you by being your constant companion as he shadows you around the house.

Story
We acquired our dog, Willow, from the Humane Society during COVID. Willow is estimated to be around 7 years old. She loves to run around and would ideally love a large yard or plenty of walks/runs. The new home should have plenty of time to give her attention, pets, and routine exercise. Willow is adventurous, caring, timid around most dogs, and loves her family.

Story
Sadie is a very loving and happy dog. One of her favorite words is "go say hi" as she meets a new person. When she see's her people she wiggles head to toe wagging her tail with joy. She is a great listener and a steady demeanor. She loves to go on walks, car rides, or snuggle. Anywhere her people are is where she wants to be. She can also be on her own for extended periods if her people work away from home. She is potty trained and has a ton of commands she knows. Sadie has moderate engery levels and is generally an easy dog. Her favorite phrases are "Go say hi", "Go for a walk", "Go for a ride" and "Treats!". She loves to get attention and cuddle with her people. Funny quirk is that she is surprisingly a pillow princess, she will find the softest pillowiest spot to make herself comfy. Sadie is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped.

Zeus

American Staffordshire Terrier

Story
Zeus is a very lovable dog who enjoys giving kisses and being petted by the people he loves. He has a gentle, affectionate personality and makes a wonderful companion. Zeus enjoys running and playing outside, but he’s just as happy relaxing indoors on the couch or in his bed. He’s generally very quiet and rarely barks. While he can sometimes feel a little anxious around certain larger dogs, he typically gets along well with others. Zeus would do best in a home with a person or family who has the time to give him the attention he deserves—taking him on walks, playing with him, and simply enjoying his companionship. He’s a great dog with a lot of love to give. I care deeply about him, but due to frequent work travel, I’m unable to provide the time and attention he needs, and I want to make sure he finds a home where he will be well loved and cared for. 🐾💙

Lolo

American Staffordshire Terrier Australian Shepherd

Story
Lolo is the sweetest craziest girl! She is a bit of an enigma since she is part pit part herding dog - for example, she loves to RUN, but hates the cold! She is still pretty rowdy and will need more training, but she is very trainable with treats and learns quickly. With structure and plenty of exercise and socialization in her life, she will blossom and thrive. We would be committed to her success in our household much more so if we didn’t also have cats - her prey drive has not let up since we adopted her 7 months ago. We wish we could keep her and will be unbelievably sad to give her up. She is such a sweetie and would do so well in our household if not for the kitties. Lolo (short for Loretta) would do best in a home with another energetic dog so they could play all day! She needs to get her energy out daily and our other dog is an old man who is interested but is not on her level. She can play rough so further socialization with other dogs would be great for her.
