Story
Sookie is a female Jack Russel/Blue Heeler mix breed. She was born in July in 2023. We bought her as a puppy and she has lived with us since Sept of 2023. Her shots are up to date and she is not spayed. We have five children and no other animals in the house. Sookie is good with kids. We added a child to our family since getting Sookie and she was very good with that transition. She is a very loyal dog and good to our family. However, our house is very busy with company. Sookie is reactive to visitors and other animals. We believe our house is too busy for her and it stresses her out.

Story
Kosmo is a great dog that deserves the attention that I am not able to give him. He is good in the house (outside of his cage) all day while I'm at work. He has not been around alot of dogs but seems to be good with them once the youthful playing is done, he has always had his tail wagging when around other dogs he just wants to play. I think maybe a house with another dog would be good. Kosmo is just over 1 1/2 years old. He is very smart but could work on his leash manners.

Story
Magic is the goodiest boy, has some skin allergies; this absolutely breaks our hearts to have to rehome Magic. None of this situation is Magics fault, we have to move from our place after 24 years and absolutely cannot find a place that will except pit bulls, Magic is a gentle soul, and loves with his whole big heart!! Magic is red/blue nose pit!! With a beautiful soul!! He deserves so much more than what is taking place at this time, and I promise this isn’t something we take lightly, we have tried time and time again to find a place where Magic can go. Please don’t judge us, as our hearts are broken too.

I was left with Charlie 4 years ago after my uncle passed away. He’s a very energetic and protective dog. He loves playing with other dogs. He loves snuggling with cats. His favorite game is fetch but with a large stick. He loves treats but is not the most food oriented dog. He loves guarding his home and you will feel safe with him there.
