Story
I adopted Atticus when he was a year and a half old from a owner who didn’t properly take care of him. He is currently 3 years old. He is neutered and up to date on shots. He does have typical pitty allergies and takes Zyrtec daily. He’s also on special food temporarily right now to help figure out if he’s allergic to any foods but that is not permanent. Atty is good with other dogs and kids. He also loves meeting new people who will give him pets and treats. He doesn’t seem to like cats. He loves attention and pats and is the most loving guy. He is extremely food motivated and will doing anything for a snack. He’s also a big softie, despite his size. He likes going for walks outside but can’t walk too far without getting tired (usually starts to slow down around 1 mile). It’s a very hard decision to re home him but I feel he needs a home that can spoil and love him as well as continue to manage his allergies. He also would love a home without cats😂

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
Got her at a shelter. They did not know much about her. They estimated she was about 3 years old when i got her. That was 2 years ago or so. She is super gentle and sweet and totally quiet. Does not bark at all. Truly the sweetest dog you will find. She likes to lay around and be lazy. Not an active dog that will run around a lot. Loves to lay around and be lazy. Wants affection but is not aggresive about it. Will sit quietly like a perfect little lady staring at you when she wants affection. Sometimes will come to you and put her head in your hand thats as aggressive as she gets. I am in very bad health and financial issues and can no longer care for her the way this precious animal deserves. You will absolutely fall in love with her immediately. I will provide her kennel for free with her as well as some treats she is currently enjoying.
