Story
Maverick is in need of loving home, with an experienced large breed owner. My Golden Retriever, Cash (7) recently underwent TPLO surgery and is now 14 weeks post-op. His recovery required strict separation and constant management. Because of Maverick’s size (approximately 185 lbs) and his sweet but very unaware understanding of just how big he is, I have not felt secure allowing interaction during this critical healing period… and not comfortable moving forward. Maverick is not aggressive. He is a young, powerful, still-maturing Mastiff who does not fully grasp his size and strength. In a home without a post-surgical senior dog needing protection, this would be far less complicated. Maverick originally came to me as a “guardian” dog from a breeder who had intended to use him in her breeding program. Due to changes on her end, she no longer has the capacity to house him for that purpose. Pet- only home. Will require proof of neuter.

Story
Atlas is looking for a home due to no fault of his own. He was found as a stray around 1 year old. The couple then divorced some years later. An uncle then took the dog but due to his declining health, is no longer able to keep him. Atlas needs his forever home. We are currently fostering him. Contact me for more information. Details: *Atlas - 6 years old *Lab/Hound mix *78 lbs. *Neutered Needs: *Loves people. Just wants to be with and loved on by people. * Children 10/+ due to his exuberant play style, strength and size * NO cats * NO small dogs. We are unsure how he would do with bigger dogs, but has got along with them in the past. Proper introductions would be necessary. * Needs at least one hour of exercise daily. Extras: * impeccable potty manners. Can go all night (up to 10 hours) without issues. * Knows sit, paw, drop it and backup * Learning commands: halt (stop/stay), forward, and how to walk on a leash. * Needs more training walking on a leash, but is making progress.

Meet Honey, a sweet & sassy 5yr old Staffy with a huge heart and even bigger personality.Honey was rescued a few years ago but her previous owner could no longer keep her. I've stepped in to care for her temporarily, but sadly can't provide her a permanent home.Honey LOVES people and is very social & affectionate. She enjoys naps, sunbathing, cuddles, and staying close to her humans.At ~80lbs, Honey is a strong girl and can pull on the leash when excited. She can also be vocal when she wants something—her bark can be intimidating but she's truly a sweetheart.She would thrive in a home:with a patient, experienced dog owner comfortable handling larger breedswith a yard to run around & sunbatheideally without other dogs—she's not outwardly aggressive but has shown mild signs of discomfort/irritation around themShe is:House-trainedCrate-trainedUp to date on vaccinesNo known health issuesIf you're looking for a loyal BFF with a big personality & lots of love to give, Honey is your girl.

Story
Fabio is a 4 year old Newfi mix rescue that is in need of a forever home with lots of space for him to explore. He is good with kids but hesitant with other dogs and men. He loves to walk, dig and would rather be outside all day. He loves being dirty but does well with bath time. He is very sweet, gentle and completely house broken. He would be the perfect farm dog or companion for an active person!

Story
Howdy! My name is Blu! I am a Handsome , 10 year old bulldog mix . I am fully vetted and potty trained. I am not only smart but active & I love to go for walks, explore! I have alot of energy for my age so you will get your steps in for sure! I LOVE LOVE to just snuggle & am always ready to watch movies or share dinner ! I will chase a ball & will entertain you with my witty personality! I walk well on a leash, knows "sit" "stay" "wait" "back" and "down" "leave it". I wait to go out of the house and come back in. He loves to watch the world go by out the window. He needs a 6' fence so he can zoom. I love humans & I dont mind older children (over 15 )who are respectful. I definetely need a home committed to giving me exercise! I loves hiking, walking, & I sleep very well when worn out at the end of the day! PS I don love to nap in the sun too! I sometimes have anxiety if I do not get the daily exercise so please know I will settle in with an active lifestyle.. I even have my very own trainer to help me acclimate to my new home!!!——— Text for a meeting with Blu! 440.773.1707
