Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I can no longer keep my dog because my mom has threatened to kick me out and has also threatened to put my dog outside while I am at work. I am extremely concerned for his safety because she has even said that one day she may put him out in the street. I do not want anything to happen to him, and I am trying to find a safe place for him rather than risk him being harmed or having to consider putting him down. This situation has become very serious, and I just want to make sure he is somewhere safe and cared for.He is a loving, playful, goofy dog who deserves a safe home. House-trained, neutered, microchipped. Needs an experienced adopter and cannot be around other dogs or cats, but has so much love to give. I’m rehoming him because I love him and want him safe, not abandoned or put down. Please help me find him a caring, patient home.

Story
Oreo is an 11 year old Shih Tzu mix that we got from a friend of the family at 8 weeks old. He is a calm, independent dog that has been with my family since he was a puppy. Unfortunately, we are looking to rehome him because I have a young child and am expecting another. Oreo is very independent and likes his space, and this doesn't go well with kids. I would love for him to find a home where he can live out his senior years and have the space he needs. An ideal adopter would be someone who can take the time to learn him, and who does not have young kids or people who would be too in his space. He is a great dog and I wish I could keep him, I hope to find him a new home where he can thrive.

Story
Sundae is going on 6 this November and about 50lbs. Her original owners were neglectful then she ended up at the shelter for 2 years super underweight. Since I’ve had her she’s really come such a long way because she never lived in a proper environment. She is the sweetest hearted girl and such a love bug, extremely well with other dogs and animals, loves people and good with children, wants to be wherever you are and loves rides in the car. Loves the dog park.

Story
Unfortunately, I recently had a baby who is now 1 year old, and I am currently experiencing financial hardship. I can no longer afford the cost of my dog's surgery, dental care, diabetes medication, or the ongoing expenses of managing his condition. He was diagnosed with diabetes some time ago, and since then I've been cooking his meals because he is an extremely picky eater. I've spent a lot of money trying different brands of dog food, but nothing seemed to work. I used to buy The Farmer's Dog food for him, but it eventually became too expensive. Even with home-cooked meals, he's still very picky, which is why he's so thin. I love my dog with all my heart and want him to get the treatment and care he needs as soon as possible. If you know someone who can provide him with the love and medical care he deserves, please reach out to me. It breaks my heart to even consider rehoming him. I've had him for 9½ years. I brought him in 2017 when he was just 3 months old.

Story
So Aries is a big teddy bear. He always wants to cuddle and follow you around like a shadow. He is well trained to the point you can walk him off leash. But he requires a lot of attention and affection that I don’t think I will be able to give him at this time. He needs the attention of another dog or someone else so that he’s happy. He’s great with kids he’s a little shy when it comes to other dogs but once he’s warmed up he will never run out of energy.
