Story
I'm saddened about this, but we are needing to rehome our girl, Scarlet. She will be a great fit for a family with older children, a couple, or a single person. We have have small children that she gets too rambunctious around. She will do best in a calmer environment. She's an energetic, fun, super sweet, and super silly girl who loves to give kisses and prance all over place. She loves to run and run fast! She will be 6 years old this June. She's spayed and up to date with rabies vaccine and others. We adopted her as a 9-week-old puppy from the vet. Her mother attacked her as a newborn puppy and one of the vet techs nursed her back to health. She is a bit goofy, possibly due to this, but she is a good dog who just wants to be near her "human".

Story
Vinny is the sweetest boy. He is overall very well-behaved and aims to please :) He does need some training and a family who has plenty of time to devote to him. We love him so much but he is not getting the time, training, or attention he deserves on a day-to-day basis. He does very well with our kids and our cats. He loves going for long walks and taking naps in the sunshine. He also snuggles like a baby in bed with you if you allow him. We would love to pair him with a family that is willing to continue sharing photos and updates occasionally, as we will miss him very much. This has been an extremely difficult decision for our family and we do not take this lightly so we will be taking our time to find the perfect family for this precious boy.

Maui is a beautiful, energetic, 10 month old bernedoodle who loves his humans. Unfortunately, life has become too busy to give him the time and attention he deserves. He is potty trained and working on manners and commands. He is up to date with all his vaccines and is due to be neutered at 12 months.

Story
Susie is a sweet dog who loves to have playmates. She is used to being around other dogs and a cat since we have a cat already, we have another dog, and she gets to visit family members’ homes when we visit others sometimes. We also have a toddler that she was apprehensive around at first, but she has gotten used to him, and now she allows him to go up to her and give her hugs. She is also potty trained and micro chipped. She may or may not ask to go out when she may want or need to go out, but she will sometimes go to the deck door to show she wants to go outside. Most of the time we just let her out before and after she eats and at the times, and we take her on daily walks. We feel bad selling her; it will just be better for us financially, and we are also moving to a smaller house. The main thing she does that we don’t like is that she eats poop, and sometimes she may chew on something she shouldn’t. She also likes to dig in the yard. We hope she can go to a loving home!

Story
Meet Baby Blue! This gorgeous guy was born on 12/20/23 and is a purebred Husky (no papers). He came from an oops litter and the owner was unable to care for him and a couple of his siblings. I have been a volunteer dog foster for 10 years and was asked directly to take Baby Blue and help find him a perfect furever home. Baby Blue is a complete sweetheart, however, he hasn't had as much socialization as he should at this point in time. I have been diligently working on socializing him and he really is doing so great. At first, he is VERY scared but after about 30 minutes, he starts to let his guard down. So he will require a home that is willing to work with him. He does perk up when he sees another dog, so I am requiring a home with another dog that is playful. Baby Blue LOVES his fellow dogs and wants to play with them. Once he is comfortable, he is a super playful, cuddly pup who loves his hoomans. We are still working on potty training, which is going great!
