Story
Blitzen is a happy little country pup with a big heart and a gentle soul. He’s been raised around family life and is used to lots of love and attention. He enjoys playing outside, following you around, and curling up when the day is done. We’d love to see him go to a home where he’ll be treated like family and spoiled the way he deserves.He is incredibly loving with his people and has so many wonderful qualities, but he does need the right environment to thrive. He has shown aggression/reactivity toward other animals, including smaller dogs and cats, so he would do best as the only pet in the home. Because of this, we are looking for an experienced owner who understands dog behavior and can provide structure, patience, and a safe environment for him. He is three years old and is neutered. This has been an incredibly difficult decision because he is deeply loved, and we want to make sure he finds the right fit where he can be successful and happy.

Story
Marshmallow is a 4 1/2 year old female pitbull. She is spayed and house trained. She was crate trained as a puppy but has not used one in a couple of years. She was found at about 8 weeks old in a fast food parking lot. She has grown up with kids and loves to play. She walks on a leash but does pull some, however she is very smart so with a little bit of training she would figure it out. Marshmallow usually gets a bit excited when new people come over but will calm down after a few minutes and she does not jump on people. Over all she has a good temperament. She gets scared of people wearing sunglasses and hats and does not like sprinklers or hoses but will take a bath with no problem. Marshmallow plays well with other dogs but has never been around cats.

Story
Loves all people knows no stranger. Very love able. Sadly need to find him a home so he can have a better life than with me. I work 60+ hours a week so I have to find him a new home. He is stubborn. And gets set in his ways guess he got that from me. He will need to have someone to have some patience with him to work with him because he does get anxious.

Story
I have Bacon since he was a puppy and adore him SO much. But we are now a family of 6 going on 7 and having a dog and two cats (also needing to be rehomed) isn’t a good environment for anyone. I really want him to find a good home, he has the best personality. He loves loves loves going for walks and he loves his crate to be available to him to take naps in. He’s slightly talkative but not like a typical husky. All around a great dog but I couldn’t have predicted where my life has gone. I appreciate all interested inquiries.
