Details

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
Arlo is a loving 6 y/o smooth fox terrier mix. We rescued him as a ~1y/o and now he's well potty trained, follows basic commands (sit, stay, go bed, go kennel, come) at home, and walks well on leash with minimal pulling - unless he finds a strong smell. He's a smart, big sniffer who loves to cuddle and hidden treats/reat puzzles. He can be shy at first, but a good game of fetch or tug will win his heart. He loves car rides, pupcups and going to big department stores and street markets, and prefers dog parks for sniffs instead of zoomies with others. He can maintain moderate- high energy play, thriving more from mental stimulation than physical, but for mostly he's calm, observant and chill - struggles with being alone/separation anxiety. Going through life-changes, housing moves, and unable to meet Arlo's needs with current busy schedule and circumstances. Looking for a home that can accomodate his loving nature and needs.

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
Levi is a 3-year-old, medium-sized Pit Bull/Boxer mix with a sweet, affectionate, and well-mannered temperament. He is people-oriented, enjoys attention, and does well in a structured environment. He may initially bark at unfamiliar people but settles once comfortable and does not show aggressive behavior. He is current on vaccinations and has no major medical concerns. He has a history of mild, occasional ear infections that are manageable with routine care. He is not currently neutered. Levi thrives on consistency, companionship, and regular activity, and would do best in a home that can provide attention, stability, and continued care. Due to financial hardship, I will need to transition into shared housing with a relative within the next month, where I will not be able to keep Levi. I am proactively seeking placement now to ensure he is transitioned into a stable, loving, and appropriate home.
