Story
Otis really is the best boy. He loves to snuggle and eat treats, give hugs to everyone he meets, and loves belly rubs. He is three years old, house broken and knows sit, stay, paw (shake), lay down, and walks well on a leash. We are heartbroken to rehome him. We have two additional dogs and one that has recently passed. After our dog passed one of our other dog has become aggressive with Otis. We thought about rehoming the other dog, but due to his aggressive behavior, we cannot in good faith do so. Otis is a gentle giant. He is so calm, and playful with our smallest dog (Mini Dachshund), we think maybe he thinks shes a puppy! We are keeping Otis and the aggressive dog separated at all times now, which is really hard on all of us as one dog is always alone. We just want Otis to be loved and happy. If you are looking for a big goofball, who loves to play tug of war, snuggle next to you on the couch and give you unconditional love, look no further!

Story
We got Massimo as a puppy. He’s very loving and affectionate, too much so at times. With a small child and another on the way we can no longer provide the time and energy he requires. And that breaks my heart. We’re looking for an experienced owner who has that time and energy and can give him the structure he needs. He’s been through obedience training and some of it stuck, I’m sure any lack is on our part. He is house trained and will indicate when he needs to go out, but will go inside the house if ignored. He is the sweetest dog and loves to cuddle on a lap or in the bed.

Bodhi

Labrador Retriever

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Our family adopted Bodhi from a shelter last July when he was four and a half months old. He is smart. House trained easily. His crate is his safe space and he is happy to relax there and sleeps in his crate at night. He has anxious behaviors such as fear to rise in cars although he does so willingly now. When walked in a leash he is scared of noises and cars driving by. He does not do well going for walks for this reason. He also gets quite stimulated and has some biting behavior in the extreme end of reasonable for a young dog. He loves playing with other dogs and would do great with canine companions or in a single adult owner household. He does attach to one master and would be well suited in such a dynamic. He is a love, but just not a fit for our family.

Story
I rescued maze when she was a puppy around 6 weeks old from a friend’s backyard. She is now 2 years old and thriving. I love her very much and would like to ensure that she rehomes to a safe love protector. She is very friendly and happy and energetic. She means the world to me and I am very mournful in rehoming her.
