Jaxson is a ball player i taught him to drop the ball by using the stop sign with your hand. He also loves to swim he will dive in our above ground pool and get out using the steps every time. I at one time taught him to put his toys in his toy box. I actually have it on video, but I havent worked with him in while on it. He is very active and loves cats, he loves our cat and loves kids. You will know if a stranger is around because his bark is fierce and his hair stands up he is protective. He is an excellent family pet my divorce is forcing me to rehome him and his girlfriend jolene. Both are black labs with akc paperwork and chipped both have been fixed also because jolene had 3 litters of pups with jaxson. Jolene is a lover girl that just wants attention and loved on. Rehome both for 100 a piece

Charley seems like a good dog. I only had him for 5 months. He seems like a good protector. He pulls a lot when I walk him. He eats well and likes dog bones. He likes to cuddle at times. Due to where I live and my and health I need to find him another home. He is a little to much for me.

Story
With eyes as golden as her name, Honey is a gentle soul who’s looking for a calm, patient home where she can truly feel safe and loved. Originally found as a stray, Honey has known the uncertainty of life on her own—but through it all, she’s remained respectful, thoughtful, and quietly affectionate.Honey spent a few months in a home where she got along well with a younger male dog, but struggled to bond with a dominant female dog. She’s shown she can be a wonderful companion with the right match and would likely do best as the only dog or with a calm, respectful canine friend. Honey has also shown some resource guarding around food, but she’s incredibly polite and will sit and wait patiently when asked—she just prefers her meals in peace and her space respected.Because of her sensitivity and desire for a low-stress environment, Honey is looking for a home without young children. She thrives in quiet moments, loves being outdoors, and walks beautifully on a leash. She already knows several commands, is muzzle trained, and is eager to please the people she trusts.Honey may not be the dog who leaps into your lap right away—but give her time, and you’ll discover a deeply loyal friend with a heart as golden as her eyes. She’s sweet, soulful, and so ready to find her forever.If you believe in second chances and the quiet magic of earning a dog’s trust, Honey will reward you with a love that’s deep, steady, and absolutely priceless.More information?

Story
Say hi to Figgy Pudding… aka “Figgy Piggy” and “Figlet”! Figgy is a professional toy hoarder. She patrols the yard like a slightly overweight mall cop making sure every toy is exactly where she left it: in her mouth. Or under her belly. Or buried in the couch cushions.She’s friendly with kids and big dogs only—small dogs and cats? Absolutely not. Figgy didn’t get this size by sharing snacks with pipsqueaks.Looking for a canine roommate with the personality of a diva, the body of a bean bag, and the soul of a squeaky-toy-slaying warrior?Figgy Pudding is here to roll into your life and steal your heart (and probably your dinner).More information?
