Story
We acquired Maverick from a pet adoption agency when he was 9 months old. He is now just a little over 2 years old. He is a fiercely loyal pet to his owners--friendly and seeks a lot of attention. He loves going out in our 5 acre property and running around. He is great at following commands when he is calm (he was placed in a $3000 private training program) but can difficult to get his attention when excited. A perfect home for Maverick would be with a family with no kids or older kids as he gets extremely anxious with loud noise and commotion--particularly around small kids and too many guests. The homeowners should be experienced with energetic dogs. We love Maverick and only rehoming him because we know it's best for him to be with a family that allows him be his energetic self. Things to know:-House trained-crate trained (he loves his kennel—it’s his safe space)-knows basic commands (sit; down; place; come)-if you say “bowl” he will find his food bowl and bring it to you

Story
Sookie belonged to a woman that had to go into a nursing home. She had been stuck in a condo by herself for over a month with people coming in to feed her and spend a small amount of time with her. She was getting no outside time. When I heard about this I went to help. she warmed up to me and i brought her home. I’ve brought in numerous animals with no problems. A checkup showed she was in good heath. I have another small female dog. Also a rescue. Sweet as can be. She was raised around many other animals. Sookie had been an only animal and was very attached to her owner. Sookie was very loving to all of the people who lived here. BUT, She did not like our other dog. She attacked her. Hoping for a one time experience, we decided to keep her. over the past two years this has happened 3 times. She is a sweet and loving dog to her humans. She should be an only animal in a home with an adult with the time to love her and take her for walks. She is 7 years.

Nile is such an amazing dog. I love her so much. Unfortunately, I work 7days a week and do not have the time to care for her. She is well trained,potty trained, well behaved and great with kids and other dogs. It breaks my heart writing to request a new home for her. I hope you will take good care of my NILE.

Story
Hi, I’m Raja. My owners adopted me from the shelter in 2021 when I was only 7 months old. I am now almost 6 years old but I still love to play and love cuddle time. I’m a sweet and silly girl. I’m not really one for mud or the rain, I prefer to keep my pearly white paws pearly white. I hate storms and need some extra cuddles if it’s thundering and lightning outside. Unfortunately, my owners have to move and their place doesn’t accept dogs which is heartbreaking for my owners. I’m just looking for someone that will give me all of the love. I love to sleep in cozy spots like the bed and the couch and if you want to bring me a pup cup now and then, I don’t mind if you do but I’ll love you regardless. My owners want what’s best for me and are hoping to send me to a loving home that will give me time and attention. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I am also spayed and potty trained! I hope to bring love and joy to your home.
