Story
I got Hazel from a friend’s neighbor when I moved out on my own in 2018. She was about a year old. Her previous owner was rehoming her because he moved from a farm to the city and Hazel just wasn’t adjusting. She can climb any fence you put her in, no matter how tall. When I brought Hazel home, I kenneled her for the first few weeks and she tore through plastic kennels and metal crates every day. She has toy and food aggression and has attacked my other dog several times around food, especially when my son is nearby as his high energy makes Hazel nervous. Hazel has begun peeing all over the house, even on my bed this past and last night when I reached for her collar to put her on the leash, she snapped at me. She has always had a fear response immediately after doing something bad, but has only done this warning one other time, before I had kids. Hazels aggression is unpredictable. She would do best in a home with no dogs, no cats, and no kids or in a home with near constant attention.

Story
Got her at 15 months. People didn’t have enough time for her. Her birthday is 12-22-2019. She would like a home where she gets lots of love and attention. She can be as laid back as you want but be ready to go when you are. She gets along ok with outside cats, but likes to aggravate house cats. She is up to date on vaccines and heart worm shot until March 2024. She has no special needs. She is house broke and crate trained. Knows commands. Likes to play. Plays well with other dogs. Is very non-alpha. Likes to go for car rides. She loves attention. The food she is on now is not because of her. My other dog needs it so to make it easier for me, I put her on it too instead of having several bags of dog food.

Story
Meet Baja - a 7-year-old male mixed breed who is currently in a foster home and looking for his forever family. His foster family describes him as a lovable guy who is sure to make the perfect pet. Baja is a very affectionate dog who loves to give and receive affection. If you lay on the floor, be prepared to be smothered with kisses. One of Baja's quirks is that he loves to take showers. Yes, you read that correctly! It's adorable to see him enjoying his time in the shower. Despite only using three legs, Baja loves going on short walks and getting some exercise. Lounging on human beds is another one of his favorite things. He would happily spend the whole day in bed if you let him. Baja has a crate that he adores and uses as his safe space. It's where he goes for solitude and to relax. If you're looking for a furry friend who loves affection, short walks, and lounging on human beds, Baja might be the perfect match for you. Adopting a senior dog is a wonderful way to add a loyal companion to your family and give them the love and care they deserve.

Story
Meet Riju, the smart and lovable dog who is looking for a family to call her own. Riju is a fun-loving pup who can't get enough of belly rubs. She loves to lean in close for some affection and will slowly sink down until she's on her back and you're rubbing her belly. Her favorite game is fetch and Riju has a collection of soccer balls that she'll bring to you to play with. She'll sit patiently waiting for you to kick the ball and will chase it down no matter how far. Riju loves to be included in all family activities and thrives with human companionship. Riju is very well-behaved and does great when crated at night or when her humans are away. Riju also enjoys regular walks, especially long ones or hikes. She is a very intelligent dog and will quickly learn your routine. If you're looking for a loyal playmate, Riju would be the perfect addition to your family. She is a smart and loving friend who is ready to join a family and make memories that will last a lifetime.
