Story

Nala is the biggest sweatheart and loves people with her whole heart. She loves to play, run, walk and cuddle. Unfortunately she no longer gets along with my other dog. She has gotten into it and has bit her on two separate occasions. I also don’t have the space to separate them and both be happy. She would be an amazing dog in an only pet household. If I could keep her I would because she really is the biggest lover and goofball.

Story

Apollo was rehomed to me in 2024 due to a friend moving and unable to take him. He’s very loyal and lovable. I want someone who is looking for a companion dog. His temperament is great he doesn’t mind people at all. He’s only been around teenagers and young adults. He’s very smart and trainable. He needs attention, someone to play with him and take him on daily walks.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

BackstoryMirren got out again two days ago and knocked a neighbor over trying to engage with her poodle. No one was hurt, but she has done this one other time and has had tangles with two other dogs in the neighborhood (both unhurt). She is not good with cats and has gone after small game (gophers and squirrels). We don’t want to burden anyone with a reactive pet but we wanted to see if anyone would rehome her before we have to euthanize her for behavior. Mirren is now on Trazadone and Gabbapentin for reactivity, so she us much calmer with other dogs and overall. She is spayed and up to date with shots. If you have dogs or cats it’s likely a no go. Please don’t feel any pressure. We have had a good 6 years with Mirren, but she has worn out her welcome in our neighborhood and we are trying to find her another home. The new meds really have helped, but we know she needs a fresh start. She is really good with people!

Story

Have you ever wanted a goofy 93 lb. lap dog?? Prince is your guy!!We were finally able to pull Prince from the shelter, thanks to our wonderful fosters!!Prince is a loveable, playful, charming guy who is good with other pups and is fantastic with cats! He is up to date on vaccines & vetting. He was euth listed at a local shelter after a minor bite incident in which he clearly expressed discomfort and his warning signals were ignored. He was a staff/volunteer favorite, while at the shelter. He is with foster parents who are extremely dedicated to setting all of the dogs that they foster up for success, They really work to understand their quirks & work through any issues they might have. Prince is really becoming his best self, and is ready to find his forever family. He is muzzle trained. Prince does prefer a quiet, adult only household. He is somewhat slow to warm up to new people, especially men. If you are patient & give him enough treats and calm slow interactions, he will end up being your best friend.
