Story
Mya is 5-1/2 years old. I rescued her from Kind Hands 4 Paws about 2 years ago. She is crate trained, although I haven't in the last year. She sleeps well in a room. She loves the out doors(a husky at heart)and is trained using an electric dog fence collar. A fenced in yard will be helpful. She gets along with our 4 year old dog. She is playful and needs a single person to enjoy her company and spend quality time with her.

Story
This beautiful 8 month old hound mix is Arizona, she was adopted in late January and is a joyful, highly energetic girl. Through no fault of her own, we are seeking a new home. She needs a more experienced hound owner who has the time to really train her and exercise her properly. She would do best with an owner who works from home or can take her to work or who has a same size dog companion. She does not get along with our smaller dog, which is why we are here. She loves to play catch with a ball or chew toy. She’s loyal and sweet, but has a lot to learn and is very much a puppy. Does not like car rides yet. Knows “sit” “come” (doesn’t always come). She’s a lovely pup, we want her in the right home.

Story
Rehoming fee is negotiable- we just want to make sure he goes to the right home!! Hello! This is our baby boy Bruno. He is two years old and loves to snuggle. Bruno is microchipped and a pure breed miniature schnauzer. We are looking to rehome bruno. Ideal family will have older kids as Bruno does not do well with smaller children (he has bitten small kids). We have two young children that are very loud and active and Bruno gets over stimulated easily. During the day when he’s home with me he’s a snuggle bug and loves being held. Hopefully we can find him his forever home where he can live the remainder of his long years being pampered by his new family. Please let me know if you have questions. He will come with his heart worm/flea/tick medicine , food, toys and cage/blankets

Story
I have had Apollo since he was an 8 week old puppy (3 years old) He is super sweet and loves attention. He is 100% house trained. I also have a female bull dog. I am hoping to keep them together. She is 6, he is 3. They have had one liter together over a year ago and she is now she is fixed. I am a single mom with a career, and I just don't have enough time to give them the attention they deserve. I am looking for a family with a big back yard and time and love to give to these dogs. They love exercise and playing fetch, neither of them chew but they do loves bones and toys. They do get on the couch and are very hyper at initial greet when anyone comes to visit. Apollo is a silly sweet lazy lover boy and Chloe the female is smarter and more athletic
