Story
Hoagie is between 3-4 years old, found him on the streets a few years back and never located his previous family, he has worked very hard on his behavior since then and I’m proud of the dog he has become. He is wonderful with children!! I cannot stress this enough, he loves my son and daughter very much and this will be so very hard on us. My landlord just will not budge on the matter, I have tried to conceal him for the last month that we’ve lived at our new residence. Hoagie is not getting the outside time that he needs:/ he is great way other dogs, very playful and curious. He certainly does not bark often, so if he does bark it’s because someone is truly at the door. He rides very well in the car as long as he is tethered or seat belted in. Walking on the leash can still be a challenge at times if the environment is very busy… I prefer to walk him off the leash late at night, he will come when called and he does stay within range. If I could keep him without eviction I would.

Story
PJ is a very sweet cuddly dog. He loves to sit with you on the couch but is also okay laying on a dog bed. He knows basic commands and is crate trained. He is good with kids, dogs and farm animals. He loves to play fetch and go for walks and chew bones. He does get car sick so doesn’t enjoy car rides. He can be a little anxious when he doesn’t know what he is expected to do and will put himself in his crate to get away from too much stimulation. He is excited to meet new people but can be easily redirected to go relax. Unfortunately his favorite person has had some health issues, making their allergies worse and for 2 years we have tried to manage it but seems to only get worse not better. Would love for him to find a loving home and wants to play outside and snuggle on the couch. It breaks my heart that is can’t be us anymore.

Story
Ziva is one of a kind pure bread Doberman, 2 years old. I had her since a puppy. She grew up with my 18 month old son. She does well with kids and babies We do not have other pets so unsure how she will be with other pets in household. She is crate trained. She is a working dog, although for us she was just a house pet and companion. But she can have drive and disciple with consistency and repetition. She is an amazing dog and I want her to have best home! I invested a lot of money in her and hope someone who is interested would value and care for her well!

Story
Bucky is an 8 month old purebred Rotty who is the sweetest, most loyal companion you could ever meet. - Enjoys being outside, going to the dog park, hiking, and fetching the ball - loves to play with his toys and easily keeps himself occupied -Loves playing with other dogs and is great around other people as well. (If anything he is sometimes shy) One thing Bucky is still working on is his separation anxiety. He does not tear things up but he sometimes barks and goes potty if left alone. I have him partially crate trained and he needs someone who can continue to work with him. He is a lover and extremely obedient, and responds very well to positive reinforcement. Our landlord will not allow me to keep him due to his insurance, and i need to find him a good home. Breaks my heart to give him up but I am unable to keep him here.

Story
Rocco found us at an adoption fair in 2022. He melted our hearts immediately and we took him home. He was greeted at home by our 7 year old yellow lab where they became brothers. In alittle less than a year our family grew again as we welcomed the birth of our daughter. Rocco has been gentle with her since day one. However with that blessing we unfortunately do not have the time and energy he deserves. He is house trained and knows commands (sit, stay, leave it, drop it, place). He loves to play tug of war, chase, chewing on his bones. If you give him the time and energy he will return it tenfold. He is a good boy.
