Story
Was given as a Christmas gift I never wanted. I’ve trained, traveled, and taken great care of both Zack (black) and Cody (Brown). They are 3 years old. They come from the same mother and father in Indiana. They have never lived apart from each other. They weigh about 45 pounds, love walks, fetch and tug of war. Filled with so much energy. A great set of young dogs ready to play in a nice backyard and cuddle and snore at night.

Story
Hello. My name is Ginger and I'm a 5 years old male Pomeranian. I love to play around with other dogs and kids. I'm looking for a new happy home that can take care of me. I prefer to be with someone who has experience with dogs (not a first timer) and I strongly prefer someone who has or previously had small breed dogs. We small dogs have a sassy personality and different needs and behaviors than larger dogs. We require more care and attention and we are more playful and love to run around a lot.

Story
Meet Weston, aka Moo! Age: Born approx. July 2023 (~2+ years old) Weight: ~70 lbs (currently on a diet to reach a healthier weight) Moo is a lovable, playful, and loyal companion! He adores food, enjoys adventure, and also loves cuddle time. He gets along well with other dogs and is very social, though he does have natural hunting instincts and likes to chase cats. A home without cats would be ideal. Moo is used to sleeping in bed with his human, though he is being trained to sleep elsewhere for homes that prefer furniture-free pets. He has some allergies and is currently on Apoquel, which keeps him comfortable. He knows sit, down, paw, place, and stay. He gets excited, but learns fast. Moo is a devoted dog who thrives on attention, structure, loves meeting new people, and will make a fun, loving addition to the right home. Ideal Home: No cats, Active lifestyle or willing to give him plenty of exercise and adventure, Understanding of his allergy needs and ongoing training
