Story
I got Milo when he was a puppy. His favorite game is fetch and he could play for hours. He loves hikes, camping, swimming, investigating new things. He taught himself how to play fetch by watching another dog do it. He is very intelligent and needs a lot of enrichment. I’ve had a lot happen in my personal life these past few years and have admitted to myself that I don’t have the time or resources to care for him in the way he needs. I work full time and am hardly home. He needs a home with a yard. He hasn’t been around other dogs since he was a year old and barks at other dogs when we pass on our walks. He would do best as the only dog unless you got a puppy after him. We've been working on his dog reactivity and it has gotten slightly better. He is a quick learner and Im positive he could be the perfect dog in little to no time. He’s tiny for your average heeler. Hes okay with cats as long as they are raised aside him. He is goofy and never seizes to make me laugh.

Story
Hi, my name Milo and I am a 7 year old Jack Russel mix who loves adult companionship. I love to snuggle up on the couch with adults and enjoy short walks. I am older and looking for a calm environment without young kids. I am fully potty trained and am looking for someone who is looking for a new owner. I am very loved at my current home but I don’t enjoy the stress of small children.

Story
Milo was a 2 yr old rescue who was being fostered. I adopted him 1 yr ago and he is a sweet, lovable, very smart dog. He will lay in your lap or cuddle next to you. He is energetic and is protective of his owner/home. He knows stop, sit, wait and is trainable. He loves to walk, run, chase rabbits, squirrels, play ball, and play with other dogs. He's very healthy. I feed him all natural, organic pet food. He loves riding in cars and going for walks. He can get excited and will bark at other people/dogs to alert you. He is very gentle when accepting food by your hand and has a graceful trot when walking. He loves to follow you around and wants to be near his owner. If you want an attentive, playful, healthy, highly intelligent little dog, Milo is for you. I prefer that he has a home with a fenced in back yard to run, roam, and maybe other dogs to play with. You will get all pet items (beds/strollers/toys). I would like a pet owner who prefers healthy pet foods and minimal vaccines.

Story
Charlie is very energetic dog who loves people. He sometimes forgets how big he is and can be a little clumsy. He has had basic training and excels at sitting, staying, shake, and spins. Walks well with a no pull harness however fetch is not his choice of playtime. He’s done well with children around toddler age and above, we just think he needs more attention

Story
Bubba's owner does not have access to place this ask so I am doing it for her. She is not able to adequately take care of Bubba as she is not well and is in and out of the hospital and has several doctor visits. Bubba ends up locked in a basement, at times for days with no one there to let him out. He is 2 years old. He is a very sweet dog, he loves to be loved on, loves treats, loves to go outside. He can walk on a leash and comes when called. He needs a home where someone will take care of him like he should be taken care of. I have two dogs already and they don't get along with other dogs so I cannot take him.
