Story
Cooper is a one year old standard Golden-doodle. He is super lovable, energetic and a bit clumsy but he is the friendliest giant you will ever meet. He loves going to the dog park and playing with friends. Cooper needs a home where he is able to stretch out and run around in his own backyard. He is great with other dogs and cats. He’s also good with kids but sometimes tends to forget how big he is. Cooper is not neutered and is fully house trained. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Story
Dolly is a beautiful 1.5-year-old, 50 lb brindle pit bull mix, rescued as a stray 6 months ago. She's spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, potty trained, crate trained, and very healthy. Dolly is fun, loving, full of energy, and adores people. She just wants to jump into your lap and cuddle with you. We rescued her from the streets as the shelter was full. The day we brought her home, she couldn't stop jumping into our laps for pets because she LOVES people. Despite being great with our third dog, Dolly recently bit our Corgi, so we're finding her a new home without other dogs. She's good with kids and has never been aggressive towards people. Dolly makes a cute grunting noise when excited about food and has recently been fascinated by bumblebees. She needs daily walks and mental stimulation, and in return, she'll be your best friend, giving you lots of kisses and love. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion in a single-dog home, Dolly is perfect for you. Plz reach out!

Story
We purchased Charlie for $3,500 from a labrador breeder farm called Sonewater Labradors in Youngsville North Carolina. Charlie was born on September 6th 2023 and we brought him home October 28th 2023 when he was about 8 weeks old. We just had a new baby about a month ago and have two little ones and it has been a lot trying to juggle everyone and charlie. We have realized that we do not have much time to spend time with Charlie in addition to work travel Etc. We just want to make sure that Charlie has a loving and secure home that he will be happy for the rest of his life. Charlie is crate trained and we bring him in at night. During the day he is outside in our fenced in backyard where he has the entire yard for himself. Charlie is the sweetest, friendliest and loving dog. He is very loyal and we will wait as long as it takes to find his forever home. Charlie is still a puppy, a little over 7 months old but he is Big boy!! His parents are AKC certified and we will upload info.
