Story
I’ve had Pearl for four months. I got her from the Humane Society where someone found her wandering the streets. Pearl is a sweetheart. She has a ton of energy. She loves to cuddle and get belly rubs. She loves to give kisses, too! She deserves a better home where she can get the exercise she needs. Pearl does okay with one cat in our home, but she definitely needs more training. She deserves to be loved, she is a very good dog. She needs a new home that can give her the attention she requires. Pearl is energetic, playful, sweet, and loving

Story
Nonna is almost 2, She is a 70-pound love bug. She's loyal and extremely cautious of new people.Nonna would need an experienced human; she loves meeting new people and dogs but is a bit reactive. So, someone who is willing to train her would really get to see her full potential.She is eager to please and very much a sweetheart; she needs more and deserves more than we can give. She would be a great farm dog; that would be my ideal home for her, or at least some wide open space for her to enjoy. I would not have her around cats without an extensive introduction.She has been raised with older children her entire life, again, a meet and greet would be required. She is a very cautious girl. You would have to be patient and willing to build her trust. I would prefer someone familiar with her mix. She is 75% Great Pyr and 25% Rott.

Story
I’ve had Ezzie since she was 10 weeks old and she will be six in November. She’s sassy and goofy and loyal, but quite reactive towards other dogs. Her type of reactivity isn’t aggressive, it’s overwhelming excitement and she forgets how big she is. She has never bit anyone, but I would not trust her around children. She grew up with cats and does okay with them. She knows how to sit, lay down, stay, and leave it and is very food motivated. Her recall is inconsistent. She is a very active dog and needs a walk daily. Would do best with a backyard. She has been trained in English and Spanish. She has some medical issues. Her nose is chronically dry and she requires bag balm applications daily, as well as medication for her anxiety and pain medication for arthritis. She has a sensitive stomach but does well on her current food. Up to date on shots and flea/tick and heartworm medication. She just had a check-up at the vet and is healthy other than the developing arthritis.

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
Maddy was my college roommates dog. He left the country and left her here so I took her in, so she wasn’t in the pound. She is house trained and loves to cuddle. Very much an attention gal. With new dogs she will need some time to warm up with them, but once she does she’s great. Her and my other dog are best friends and play all the time. She needs a more stable forever home, and my apartment is making me get rid of her due to her breed. I want her to go to a good home.
