Story
Hi! Her name is Bella! She’s a Terrier Mix. Could be a PitBull, but Im not 100% sure. Her Birthday is 07/31/2021, she’s 4yrs old. A big baby really lol. She wants all of the affection, love, and attention and when she doesn't get it, she’s just like a little diva lol. I purchased her from a breeder. She’s Pitbull/ Boxer mix, non aggressive. We just love her just as she is but we can no longer keep her due to my husband’s allergies, since they’ve worsened. This has been a long 4 yrs of him suffering, not being able to breathe and simply just cant do it any longer. I wish that was not the case, but he needs to breathe easy. We’re looking for an experienced adopter and dog owner that will continue to give her the proper love, time, patience, and attention, support, and care. Bella is really energetic and healthy, very lovable, barely barks unless she senses something off, doing guard duties. She very playful, know tricks, and great for a family with kids. She would make a great gift!

Story
We acquired Obi from someone selling puppies online and were told he was a miniature Schnauzer, but as he grew we later learned he is a standard Schnauzer. He is four years old and will be five on November 27th, which is also our wedding anniversary, making him incredibly meaningful to our family. This is one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make, but due to changes in our work schedules, my husband and I now work full time outside of the home and cannot provide the time and daily companionship he now needs. He is very smart, learns quickly, playful, energetic, and is extremely affectionate. Once he bonds with you, he will follow you from room to room and loves to cuddle and be close. He is currently trained to use pee pads due to our work situation. He helped me through the loss of my mother to cancer, and rehoming him is heartbreaking, but we believe this choice is being made out of deep love and a desire to meet his needs in the best way possible.

Story
Courtesy Post for Private Owner Contact Blue’s owner, Harry, via Unbreakable2577@gmail.com for questions and adoption. Small rehoming fee of $200. Meet Blue! Born July 8, 2025 to a pomsky dad and boxer mix mom.  This six month old, female, 25lb angel loves to play with her toys, romp in the snow and collect random branches in the yard.  She is great with children and other dogs. Hasn’t met a cat yet but at her young age, a simple introduction should do the trick. Blue is crate trained and 90% potty trained. A little accident here and there is still happening but she is doing great!  She also knows sit, lay, and wait; welcomes belly rubs and loves to snuggle!!  She does have puppy energy so an outdoor fenced area would be great but not 100% required. A long lead for play time would also suffice. Blue is located in Wadsworth. She is updated on vaccinations but not yet spayed. Her owner, Harry, can be reached via Unbreakable2577@gmail.com for questions and adoption. Small rehoming fee of $200.

He knows basic commands such as Sit, Stay, down, leave it And returns when called mostly. He’s great at the vet, and groomers. Of course he loves his walks, And being outdoors no matter the weather. Only issue he has that he is sensitive to harsh soaps.
