Story
Hi! I am rehoming my dog Nori due to my other animal in the home being diagnosed with an illness and I just am not able to care for Nori in the way she needs me to. She is a very submissive dog and would do well with someone who is dominant or with another dog who is dominant for her to look up to and learn from. I have only had her for 2 months so she would be able to adjust in her new home pretty easily! Nori is super sweet and would love someone that gave her lots of attention. She is very athletic, as she’s still a young pup, and loves to be outside and run around. She has already attended and completed her first set of obedience training with basic commands and I’m certain will do great if she continues! Please reach out with any questions or if interested!

Story
Sora is a spitfire of a Yorkie mix. He has a ton of energy and absolutely loves his kong small duck toys. He will play fetch with said duck for a long time, but not with a ball haha. He is a huge cuddle bug as well and loves to sleep in bed. He does have a pretty bad case of separation anxiety which would mean he would do best in a home where someone can be with him most of the day. He has been a very healthy boy aside from being prone to over eating if given the possibility.

Story
We got lucky last year for my daughter first birthday from the animal shelter he’s done great with my toddler and is a sweet boy but sadly my senior dog dose not get along with him so keeping him in the house is not working out. With the right family and attention lucky could be easily trained to be a great dog he would do best with a female dog due to wanting to be dominating dog and so with other males may not work he knows sit and lay and is getting good at walking in a leash and we can drop the leash and he will stay and you can tell him to follow

Story
Luma is a really good dog, fully house trained, listens well, very attention needy and very loving with all people. She doesn’t wanna look get very excited and likes to jump, and she does not get along with other animals from the 2 experiences I’ve had. I really hate to lose her but the location I’m moving to won’t allow dogs. She is so nice and loves to cuddle and even after getting neutered she still has all her energy.
