Story
We were told that Yumi is an American Bully. She is a very sweet girl. She knows how to sit, lay down, paw, and stay. Yumi is a very energetic dog that needs someone that is going to have time to walk her and spend with her. She is good with older kids, we have never had her around smaller than the age of 9. She will let you know when she needs to go out to go the bathroom. Her birthday is 3/09/2024. She is still in her puppy faze. She is up to date with her shots and is microchipped. We would just love to see her go to a loving home that will have the time she needs to spend with her. She also loves to play in the snow. She is great on walks.

Story
We adopted Teddy when he was 8 weeks old. He is now just over 1 year old. Our 3 young kids were nervous around dogs so we wanted to let them have a puppy that would grow with them so they wouldn’t be nervous anymore. We didn’t take into consideration the amount extra work it would be fully for us as parents. Teddy is great with the kids and is great all around. We just dont have the ability to give him the full amount of attention that he needs as a one year old dog. We want him to go to a good home and hope that is you.
