Story
Meet Seven, the goodest girl. She is being rehomed due to an unforseen medical issue in the family, and not because of anything she did. Seven is a people pupper who just wants to spend time with her family and maybe go on a short walk or play some games before cuddling up for a nap. She loves children, but is scared of other dogs and would need to be introduced carefully if her family has more animals. Playful and sweet, Seven is easily trained with praise and treats, and already knows several basic commands. If you want a snuggle-pup who is a little bigger than pocket-sized, she is the gal for you!

Story
Hello all! This is Astrid and she is a wonderful little Blue Heeler looking for a loving active home! She's a complete goober and at the same time a little genius! She loves people, making new friends, and loves other dogs. An active home with people that have the time and energy to give is what she needs. She is playful and very very energetic! She does get along with cats, but they don't necessarily want to play with her all the time :) Dogs on the other hand have found the best playmate with Astrid, I bet they'll run out of energy before her! She loves to do anything honestly, although she has had a hard time learning tug of war :) She absolutely loves to play ball, she can run for hours & hours chasing it back and forth! She won't run outside by herself and really prefers to be with people/other dogs.

Story
Stevie was adopted from KCPP in 2021. She is a great dog but has recently become unpredictable around the cats in the house and the other family dog. When it comes to dogs, she can be very aggressive and protective of food, toys and treats. With cats, she chases them, but we genuinely think she wants to play with them but they are afraid of her given her size. We think she would do best in a home where she is the only dog. She doesn’t realize she weighs 70lbs and thinks she is a lap dog, but she is very sweet, downright goofy, and loves her people. She’s been around kids 10+ and did great, but smaller kids could easily be knocked over when she gets playful. She has allergies to a lot of food, but it’s managed by a daily dose of Benadryl. She gets the zoomies, so a backyard or a family with outdoor space would be ideal. She is crate trained and house trained, but she sleeps in her crate at night, with no issues.

Story
Ellie is a three year old purebred pitbull. She is on the smaller side at about 40 pounds. Ellie was found on the side of the street at about 9 months of age and has been in our care since. Ellie loves to cuddle, go on walks, and has been trained off leash with an e-collar. She is trained to stay off furniture. She is very food driven and will do anything for a treat! She absolutely LOVES people and gets very excited when meeting new friends. Due to being on the street for months, Ellie does have some qualities that have put us in the position to rehome her. Ellie is dog aggressive. On a walk, Ellie is continuing to work on growling/lunging at nearby dogs (or houses that have a dog in them). We have been able to train her to live with our goldendoodle, but she will snap at certain triggers (food, water, toys, etc.)
