Story
Atheno is a sweet 2 year old dog! He is a Doberman lab American bulldog pit bull mix. He’s great with kids and adults! He has lived with a few dogs and gotten along with them great! The dogs he has lived with are rotty/shepard mix a shelter and a beagle mix. There is one dog specifically he can’t get along with and he’s the beagle mix. We have kept them separated but a few times they have gotten in the same room and had a fight. Atheno has never had issues before but it’s not fair for him to have to be separated because of that. So we are looking to rehome him. He would do really well in a home by himself where he can get lots of love and focus. He is pretty well crate trained but still has some accidents as any puppy would. He’s such a good dog and we hope to find the right family for him.

Story
Loki is a two year old cockapoo who I love with all my heart. He has had anxiety issues ever since I got him,he seems afraid of everything. The problem now is he is attacking my one dog, whom he has been with his whole life. I have health problems where I have a caregiver here every day, and due for surgery in about a month. I just can't keep doing this, the vet tried two different medications that won't work. The problem is jealousy he doesn't want any other animal near me or he goes after them. It's not fair to the other dogs in the house. He needs a good home, with someone that will be patient with him, because he will be scared at first. I want someone with no other animals. I like them to have a yard because he likes to run around.. he not an outside dog!. He is used to being cuddled and spoiled and I expect the same from the new owner, he is a good dog, I just wish he wouldn't do this.. thanks kim

Story
My niece dropped him off at my house because she had him in a cage all the time. Her kids did not spend any time with him. My husband and I don’t have the time to train him properly. He is a very loving dog that loves attention. He is in the crate while we are at work. We do have two cats and one other dog that he gets along with. Never had an issue around small children or other adults. We would love someone to give him a loving home!

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 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 for him. Whatever adventure you want to get into he is ready to go along, but he will also hangout and try to be a lap dog. Kosmo is just over a year and a half old. He is very smart but could work on his leash manners.

Story
Fern is a snuggly older dog whom we love so so much and are pained to part with. She really, really loves to snuggle so she is best suited for someone who needs a snuggling companion! She loves walks, people, lying in the sun, catching a bit of food that falls off of the table, other dogs, and occasional play. She is easy going and sweet. A wonderful companion in so many ways. Because we are moving out of the country and she is an older dog, we cannot take her with us. We want most of all to find a loving home for her. She is a smaller dog and does well indoors (she does not shed). She has had only one owner her whole life, being first acquired as a puppy in August of 2012 in Tallahassee, FL. Everyone is her friend but only a few special people are her snuggle buddy. If you are looking for a snuggle buddy, you will not find a better dog.
