Story
This is our sweet Jersey girl. We love her with all of our hearts, and it breaks me to be creating this profile for her. Our only goal is to find the best possible home for Jersey, one where she can feel safe, understood, and loved for the amazing dog she is. My husband and I adopted Jersey a little over 7 years ago when she was just 3 months old. We rescued her from a shelter in New Jersey, which is where she got her name. She was found in Alabama with her brothers and sisters before being transported to the shelter, and I have always wondered what her first few months of life were like. When we brought her home, she was an anxious little puppy but also the happiest, most bubbly girl. I truly felt like I won the lottery with her. Jersey has been such an important part of our family. She has been with us through so many seasons of life, and she is incredibly loved. She is loyal, affectionate, playful, and has such a big personality. She loves her people deeply and has brought us more

Story
Fynn is a female Husky/Australian Shepherd mix. She is about 10 years old, and we adopted her from a local rescue organization about 8 years ago. She is fully vaxxed and chipped. She is in pretty good health, considering her age. Fynn is a very sweet, loving, and loyal dog. She loves being petted (especially belly rubs) and playing tug-and-toss with a stuffed toy. She is leash-trained and loves walks outside. Give her a bed by a window or on a deck, and she will happily survey her queendom. Her personality is one that really wants to be your sole object of affection, and she will return that affection whole-heartedly. Her ideal home would be one without little kids or other dogs/cats. Fynn has never bitten a person, but she has been in fights with our other dog. She has been an important part of our family, but she gets anxiety around kids and other dogs. We want her to go to a home that will love her as much as we did, but can provide a more comfortable setting for her.

Story
We rescued Ollie 5 years ago from an SPCA. Our vet thinks he is about 9 years old. He has the energy of a young pup! Our child has just turned 1 years old. Between myself and my wife's school, work and parental needs we simply feel that Ollie would be better served in a home with more attention to be put his way. Our lives are only going to get busier in all those aspects. He needs a backyard to run around and get his energy out (we were in a house and moved into a smaller home without a backyard). Ollie has high anxiety and needs an owner with more free time to dedicate to that attention he needs. He has no issues with biting children or people. He is a very lovey dog in that regard. Ollie wants to say hi and play with every person, dog and cat. 90% of the time its in a playful manner, 10% there can be somewhat guarded hesitation or not friendly barking with other dogs (more so when my wife walks him versus myself). He's simply a dog that needs more care than we can devote.
