Story
Luna is a purebred girl who is an absolute delight but is less good with children than we need her to be. We had an adopted baby who lived with us and Luna was her “baby.” When the baby left the house, Luna has not been the same ever since and she’s just less good with children than she was. Good with other dogs and adults after proper introduction. She’s a Boerboel and definitely a protective breed. Food motivated and has had basic obedience training, even if she wants to be a brat about having to follow commands. She wants nothing more than to love her humans and be close to them all the time. She’s just not a good fit in our home right now and we want her to have a loving & wonderful home. UTD on shots.

Story
Argo is an extremely loyal companion. He takes a while to warm up but once he knows you all he wants is to cuddle, give love and receive it. Argo is deaf, so that does come with some challenges but he loves a routine and is very responsive once he is shown the expectation a few times.

Story
Freddy is such a good boy. He is very reserved at first. Some time and love he will come around. He has been here too long and needs to get to know the outside world. He came in as a pup. He had a bad cause of Girardi when we finally got him pass that he had spent his puppy life here. Take and introduce him to the world!!
