Story
Hello there! This beautiful dog is Olive. She is 12-13 years old. I have had her for 10 years after rescuing her from a shelter. Unfortunately her story before the shelter was sad. She was abused and heavily neglected. They made her fight for her food, had her tied to a chain that dug into her neck and beaten on her to the point that she was terrified of anyone who approached her. Thankfully, my sister adopted her from the shelter for my niece as an emotional support animal. It was all wonderful until the effects of the abuse started to show in her behavior. At the time, we couldn’t have that around my niece. So I took her in and worked with her as much as I could to get these habits out of her system. She has come a LONG WAY. Now she CAN be around others. She’s such a sweetheart and she’s so full of life, it’s almost like she forgets she’s 12. I wish I could keep her but unfortunately I have no other options since time isn’t in my favor at the moment. She needs someone with PATIENCE.

Story
Diego was born on 2/13/2014 and I have owned him since he was 8 weeks old. Diego is a neutered male and has always been very healthy. I do think his vision is starting to get a little cloudy, but he still can see. 🙂 Diego has grown up around other cats and dogs; diego does okay with other small dogs, he loves cats, and young children who dont respect his space or move too fast scare him. Since Diego has gotten older, he loves to spend a majority of his day sleeping or playing with his favorite toy or the cat. Diego loves to be outside when its warm, he picks a shady spot and loves to just enjoy the wind in his whiskers. He is trained to go potty outside and he is trained to hit the bell when he needs to go potty; however, we do put potty pads down for when he is out at night. When its cold, Diego loves to cuddle up next to his human on the couch under the blankets.

Story
Hello, I'm the owner of Ares. Sadly he has to be let go due to a busy work life.. Ares is a very friendly energetic dog. Great with kids and he especially loves females. I've owned him for about 5 years now and he was born in Washington State. I moved to the Midwest in 2021 and he came with me on the plane. He has a great demeanor and very playful with other animals and people. Feel free to reach out and hear more about his story. Thank you Charles.
