Story
Meet Wafer! He is a male POMACHON (Pomeranian and Bischon Frise) who is just a puppy (DOB 6/2026) and weighs less than 5 pounds. Wafer was just neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He is heartworm neg and on prevention including fleas. WAFER is just adorable and all things puppy; curious, funny, energetic and playful. He is trained to use Pee Pads. He was a cast off from an area breeder. Being rescued from a high volume breeder doesn't mean there is anything wrong, The dog could have been the wrong color, size, fur, whatever or now retired from breeding.

Story
We are rehoming our 3 year old female great Pyrenees. She is a very lovable dog, however we r rehoming her due to being food aggressive. We have 2 younger children and there was never an issue with her, but they weren't around her while she was eating. She has always been a pet, not a livestock guardian dog. She has experience going to a groomer and loves going for car rides.

Story
Super sweet, very smart & very LARGE, she already weighs 80 lbs @ 9 months old. She currently lives on a 6 acre hobby farm & when I adopted her @ 9 weeks old, the plan was for her to live on the side of the barn with a 1 acre fenced pasture so she would have plenty of room to run during the day while I was at work. Unfortunately, she learned to climb the 4.5’ pasture fence within a couple of months. Since then, she has been confined to the other side of the barn with a very small outdoor area w/ chain link fence. With my work schedule, she is only able to be out about 4 hours a day total. Bailey needs a home where she can enjoy her life without being confined. She is a Saint Bernard, Mastiff, German Shepherd mix & being 3 working dogs in 1, would benefit greatly by living somewhere she has a job. I'm in desperate need of finding her a home immediately & will bring her to visit to see if she would fit in w/ your family if interested. She loves attention & just wants you to pet her!
