Story
Scooter was found as a stray and is roughly 2 years old. We kept him as long as we could but our apartment found out about him and will not let us keep him. He is iffy about dogs but with proper introduction he does ok. Pulls hard on leash and has separation anxiety but is on meds to help with that. He’s a very good dog and will make a great family pet

Story
I rescued Maverick when I still lived in AZ, he was a fighting dog from probably when he was born to when I rescued him at 2, he is about 3-4 years old. He is such a sweet dog and will love you to death but he just isn’t good with young children under age of 5. It pains me to even be making this post and having him on here but I just can’t have anything happen to my step kids and I hate that I have a gut feeling something will just from what I’ve already seen from his behavior and how he acts around them. I’m looking for a good home preferably someone who is single or a couple and who doesn’t have any other animals or kids. someone who will spend time with him, give him love, let him run around, go to a home that loves him.Has no sense of personal space at all lol. Very loving, listens, playful, very lazy, such a personality.

Story
Buff — Adoption InformationBuff is a sweet, well-trained 6-year-old dog who is generally calm and easygoing, but he has a strong food drive that requires management.He will get into food or items left within reach, so counters, sinks, and unattended food must be kept clear at all times. This can require extra vigilance, especially when leaving the house.He does well with children, but may try to take food from them, so he is not recommended for homes with very young kids. He is not aggressive with other dogs, but can be overly enthusiastic and persistent, which may cause tension, so he would likely do best as the only pet.Overall, Buff is a loving, well-trained dog who would thrive in a home without small children or other pets, where his food-related behavior can be easily managed.

Story
Stephie is nearly 6 years old. We adopted her 4 years ago to be a friend for our other beagle. She has a lot of energy and loves walks and play time. She needs a fully fenced yard or a dog run because escaping has been a bit of an issue. She has always been very sweet and good with all people and most other dogs.We are rehoming her because she recently got into a serious fight with the dog of a family member. The other dog was the original aggressor, but Stephie's bigger and could have seriously hurt the smaller dog. This has never happened before, and I don't really blame her, but it's causing family strife that I can't deal with right now.
