Story
Stella is a very sweet 5-year-old dog that loves to cuddle. She is getting her 3 yr rabbies shot on 5/14/25. We have reached out to several shelters to see what our options are and none of them could take her and suggested to us to try to rehome her ourselves. We have moved to several places and can no longer house her. We have a cat and another dog. The cat tends to stay away from her. Our other dog she's been great with. It has reached a point where we need to give her a different home with someone who can give her more attention and care than we can.

Story
Allie came to me from New Jersey as part of a cruelty case. She was running at large and beyond thin. During her time with me we have worked on her meal plan, which has been challenging as Allie has a lot of energy. She can burn calories fast. Allie had little to no obedience and has learned her basics very quickly. She is very attentive and eager to learn as well as being very food motivated. During her time with me the rescue closed and I choose to keep her versus putting her in boarding. She would make a great jogging partner, SAR or tracking, or even agility. When we go for a walk her nose hits the ground and it could stay there if I let it. Her tail wags constantly and she is generally a very happy dog. Allie does not do fireworks or loud thunder. Other than that NOTHING phases this dog, not even the vacuum. There is nothing that goes on in the home that she doesn't know about. She has been with me for almost 2 years and is ready for her own family.

Story
Freya is an absolute sweat-heart and loves to curl up and cuddle with other dogs or people and is in need of a new home. She loves to be the center of attention. She also is incredibly energetic, sometimes to a fault as she likes to jump, and she has not been able to distinguish between jumping on grown adults or small children. Sometimes she just wants to jump up and give a hug. She is a Staffordshire Pitt and boxer mix, she is 3 years old in April. She is up to date on her shots, I just gave her brace to 5/29 and she had an annual heartworm injection back in October. Freya is good with other dogs, and she can be good with larger kids but my reason for rehoming her is that she is not good with small children like toddlers or preschoolers. Not so much out of aggression but she likes to jump and she will take food sometimes as well. New humans have to be introduced slowly as she is nervous around new people and animals, she had never been around cats or any other house pets
