Story
I got Nico as a puppy he has been a good puppy he’s roughly a year and a half. I have been working a lot lately and I’m a single dad to two kids. Which has taken a lot of my time away from him. I’m moving and I can’t take him to my new place. He just needs an owner that’s attentive to him. I would rehome him for free to someone who is more attentive to him. He is very playful and loving and will be really attached to his new owners.

Story
If love had four paws, the softest little body, and the most precious underbite you’ve ever seen… it would be Major. The kind of dog who gently melts into your arms like he was always meant to be there… the kind who looks at you with big, adoring eyes and suddenly your whole world feels softer. That’s Major. Sweet, cuddly, tender-hearted Major. Look how cute he is in his YouTube video now https://youtu.be/t02sRFhEc8w?si=4XApsMMXhPHTw5il And we have to talk about his face. This boy has the cutest little underbite ever. The tiny little pout, the slightly crooked smile, the way his bottom teeth peek out just enough to make you gasp and say, “Oh my goodness.” It gives him so much personality and makes him completely unforgettable. It’s the kind of underbite that makes strangers fall in love instantly and makes you take 500 photos a day. At around two years old, Major is the perfect mix of playful and peaceful. He’s young enough to be silly and fun, but calm enough to happily curl up in your lap and stay there as long as you’ll let him. And trust me — he will let you hold him forever. He is absolutely a lap dog at heart. Being close to his person is his favorite thing in the whole world. Major is potty trained (good boy alert ) and has wonderful manners in the home. He’s fostered with other dogs and does great with them — he loves to play, share toys, and be part of the pack. He enjoys his toys and will happily bounce around for a little play session, but once he’s gotten his wiggles out, he’s right back to cuddling. That’s his happy place. He is unbelievably soft — the kind of soft where you just want to bury your face in his fur. He’s calm, gentle, and so incredibly affectionate. He even watches TV and gets completely invested when animals or action scenes come on. You’ll look over and see him staring at the screen like he’s part of the show, and your heart will just melt. He loves to play dress up (yes, really ). Sweaters, cute little outfits, themed photos — Major is down for whatever adventure you have planned. He just wants to be included. Whether it’s a cozy movie night, a slow Sunday morning, or a fun little photo shoot, he’s ready. He can get a little nervous in the car and may cry a bit due to some separation anxiety, but that just means he loves deeply. He bonds hard. He cares big. And with reassurance and consistency, he will continue to grow in confidence. Having other dogs around to play with helps him feel secure, and he truly thrives in a loving home environment. Major isn’t just a good boy — he’s a heart dog. The kind that crawls into your lap and into your soul at the same time. The kind that makes your house feel warmer and your days feel brighter. The kind you look at and think, “How did I ever live without you?” If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Major — and his tiny little underbite smile — are ready to love you forever.

Luckily, Trouble is highly motivated by snacks and will do just about anything for a tasty treat, making her a star pupil in the making. If you're looking for a goofy, affectionate companion to brighten your days and share your popcorn, Trouble is ready to wiggle her way right into your home! 🐾🦴✨ Primary Color: Blond Weight: 47.6 Age: 4yrs 1mths 0wks

Story
Tootie is a 5-year-old Pit Bull with a lovely, easygoing personality and solid house manners. She is a well-behaved companion who enjoys being part of the daily routine without causing a fuss. While she is a sweet and steady friend, she's a bit of a "fixer-upper" in the dental department. Her future adopters will need to consult with their vet to address her dental health and stay on top of her pearly whites to keep her feeling her best.If you're looking for a grounded dog who has moved past the chaotic puppy stages and is ready to settle in, Tootie is a great choice. She's a loyal girl who just needs a family willing to provide the basic medical maintenance she deserves. Primary Color: Tricolor Weight: 45 Age: 5yrs 0mths 0wks
