Story
George is a happy-go-lucky 8 year old sheepadoodle! He has a heart of gold and is energetic and enthusiastic. He will be just as happy running around playing as he is laying next to you on the couch. He is great with children and is well mannered in the house. It breaks our hearts to have to rehome this wonderful pup, but our life circumstances have left us having exhausted all other options. We hope to give this great guy the best home he can possibly have. He is up to date on all his shots and is microchipped.

Story
Meet Mr. Sunshines and Rainbows himself; Sunny! We got this little guy from a very kind woman who was friends with the owners of his parents. She couldn’t house him due to his poor relationship with their other dog, so we took him under our wing! Unfortunately, we’ve hit a bit of a block in the road with taking care of him. He does not get along with our cat who came before him, and additionally we realized we were just not fit owners for this sweetheart. We do not have the knowledge to train him properly to where he actually grasps it. He has so much love and energy that he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He’s primarily potty trained, only with the occasional accident in the house, but he’s been better about letting you know if he needs to go. He is extremely reactive to people & animals so do be cautious when taking him out. Hell come with his toys,food, bed, ect! Please feel free to ask questions!

Story
9 month old neutered Beabull. Merle patterned face with beautiful green eyes. Full of puppy energy and wants to be your shadow. Beabulls slow down as they age, with about a hour of playtime but content to rest most of the day.Gino would thrive in a home where the primary caregiver is home all day, but he does wonderful in his crate for shorter periods. He’s loving, fun, and a textbook beabull with no behavioral issues. He wants to be as close as possible to those he loves. He has been around plenty of adults and children, but could use more socialization around other animals.He’s easy to train and knows sit, stay, lay down, come, and leave it. He’s stubborn and doesn’t like to listen to commands that require him to respect personal space but he gets better with that every day. He is not trained on a leash.We paid $900 for him, plus neutering and vaccinations. The breeder was someone from a loving family home, and we love him, so honestly, he is just the best boy!

Evo, is a four-year-old Labradoodle with an energetic temperament. We need to rehome him because he is starting to have trouble with our older dog. He is very loving and cuddly toward his people. Also very smart and a good listener, loves to play and snuggle. He just has some resource guarding issues and it is starting to become a problem with our older dog.

Story
Kleo is a bonded pair with her younger half sister Daisy. I got them both from the same breeder. She is a wonderful playful very energetic dog but I have not been able to train her well. She will need a large fenced in yard where she can enjoy a lot of running free and someone experienced in training dogs. She has problems with jumping up and taking clothes but is very social with dogs and children around the age of 9 to 13. She is frightened by loud noises and will try to hide by people for comfort. I love her and her sister very much but unfortunately my children keep leaving the doors open to the house and her and her sister will run around the entire neighborhood without stopping until they are exhausted ignoring all of our calls and attempts to catch them and it breaks my heart to see them almost get hit by cars multiple times. I'm looking for a safe home for my girls that will love and nurture them and give them a safe fenced in yard to play. Will not adopt out without her sister
