Story
This is our sweet Jersey girl. We love her with all of our hearts, and it breaks me to make this profile for her. Our only goal is to find the very best home for her.My husband and I adopted Jersey over 7 years ago when she was just 3 months old after she was rescued from Alabama and brought to a shelter in New Jersey (hence her name!). She has always had the sweetest heart.Jersey has been such an important part of our family, which is why this decision has been so incredibly difficult. As our family has grown, we have realized that our home is no longer the right environment for Jersey to thrive.We have worked with a trainer and tried medication to help manage her anxiety. Because of her history of nipping and biting, including an incident with our young daughter, we know she would do best in a calm, adult-only home with someone who has experience with dogs.We are not looking for just any home. We are looking for the right home for our loyal, goofy girl who has meant the world to us.

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
With very heavy hearts, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to rehome our 5 year-old Mini Bernedoodle, Buster.Buster is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves people. He is great with kids and gets along well with other dogs. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations but is not neutered.I want to be completely honest about his needs so we can find the best possible home for him. Buster is very attention-oriented and thrives with companionship. He is not fully potty trained and experiences separation anxiety, so he will do best with someone who has the time, patience, and experience to help him continue making progress. If you are seriously interested and believe you could provide Buster with the home he needs, please send me a private message. We will be carefully considering all potential homes because we want what is best for him.

Ole

Vizsla

Male, Adult
New Holland, PA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ole is our youngest Vizsla, and deciding to rehome him has been incredibly difficult. He is a sweet, sensitive dog whose affectionate personality shines when he feels safe and comfortable. Unfortunately, Ole has a nervous and reactive nature, particularly around our older Vizsla, Rooney. Over time, it has become clear that the relationship between the two dogs creates stress for both of them, and each is noticeably more relaxed and at ease when the other is absent.Ole can be protective of his personal space and may bark, growl, or react defensively when approached unexpectedly, especially while resting. However, when interactions happen on his terms, he is much more relaxed and accepting of affection.We believe Ole would thrive as the only pet in a quiet home with a patient owner, ideally someone experienced with Vizslas or sensitive dogs. Our hope is that a calmer environment will help him gain confidence, relax, and become the happy dog we know he can be.

Story
Gus is a high energy pup who loves to run and play as much as he loves to cuddle. He is great with people after he feels comfortable with them. He gets along with female dogs and some male dogs. We have to rehome because we have Gus and his brother and they are not getting along. Please reach out for more information.
