Story
Ivy is a family dog , she’s been with me for over the past 7 years. She loves treats & playtime. She can be reactive to other pets but has never bitten one. She enjoys going on walks but if you have a backyard even better! She behaves & comforts you when needed. Unfortunately I have to rehome her due to me having to relocate last minute. Ivy loves being around kids. Ivy is very active so you have to try to keep up. Ivy loves to nap through out the day & she doesn’t really enjoy water but doesn’t mind it when it comes to bath time. Ivy needs a little more time when it comes to being around other animals so please be patient in that aspect. Ivy likes to be cuddled every now & then with a side of belly rubs. If you are looking for a true companion Ivy is that. She also gets very attached & like to you follow you everywhere some of the time. Ivy is a protecter as well & is always alert at literally everything. Ivy needs a clingy lovable owner & I hope she is able to find just that!!

Please adopt with Riley (pomeranian in photo) as they are a bonded pair!! 🙏🏼❤️ Meet Milo 🐶🐾 Milo is a 4 year old Shih Tzu. He loves going on walks and being showered with love and affection! He has sarcoptic mange, although it is very treatable. He must take Bravecto every 3 months, and whenever he gets red spots on his skin, MiconaHex+Triz shampoo + conditioner helps a ton. Milo is looking for an attentive and loving owner and place to call home! ❤️
