Story
Hi! My name is Miss Coco Flower. I am turning 5 this month. I am not spayed and am current on vaccines but need them again very soon. I love to snuggle you and smile when I am happy. I’m very mischievous love playing with you- indoors or out! I also loooove to eat. I currently have 3 brothers and sisters- all with 4 legs. I love them, but my household has become too crazy for me to feel comfortable. I would love to be in a house with a large yard that’s fenced or maybe even try a farm out! I do seem to have some herding tendencies my parents have noticed while on walks and playing with my siblings. I’m not sure how I feel about children as my family has none, but I don’t think I would be best for a young family- but I don’t think I would mind some teenagers who will play or take me for walks! I do need someone who can help refine my training as I do like to do what I want to do. I would love a chance to meet you and hopefully become a member of your family!

Story
We can’t give him the attention he deserves anymore. He is a great dog and loves cuddles! He loves walks and playing inside and outside. We have had him for 7 years and he is getting a little jealous of our daughter that we just had. He can be around other dogs but he would ideally like to be by himself with someone. He’s just an old man that needs some love.

Story
Kevin is a 1 year old pitbull mixed breed. He loves attention and to run around the yard. He loves treats and seems to learn tricks pretty fast. He enjoys being around kids, but does get the zoomies and although he’s not that big, he can throw his weight around. He loves to lay on the couch with you, but can also lay on the floor chewing on a toy. He likes to chase squirrels, so a privacy fence is best, or a lead for him to stay on when he goes potty. He is a sweet boy.

Story
Kevin is a 1 year old sweet boy that loves attention. He loves to run around the yard, but will need a privacy fence or a lead to be on when he goes potty, because he likes to chase squirrels. He loves treats. He’s not a big fan of car rides. He loves to have chew toys and is able to throw them up in the air on his own to play with. He’s not the biggest fan of water, like baths, but can still be bathed. Doesn’t mind his nails being trimmed. He LOVES going on walks! He does good with every dog he’sbeen around. But we were never able to introduce him to our cat, because how much he likes to chase squirrels. I think with a confident cat that puts him in his place one time, he would be fine though. He has the usual “puppy” behavior at times, just minus the need to potty train! He will come with his collar, leash & toys.

Story
Heinz is a very good dog, he is so loving, playful, full of energy and just needs someone to give him the time and attention he needs. We unfortunately can’t anymore since having our daughter. He loves walks, playing, cuddling and treats. He is house trained and could be trained more to be able to be an amazing service dog too! That is how great of a dog he is.
