Story
Momba was given to me by my oldest son as a Father's Day gift. My two Golden Retrievers had died within the previous year and all of my life I had always had dogs as companions. I got her at 8 weeks old. Right from the start, she was very protective of me. She would bark if people got close to me, if strangers come to the house, if cars drove up to the house, etc. She is still very much that way. Thus, she may be the world's best burglar alarm. I am now 78 years old with several health conditions. I am currently in the process of arranging to move to another country and I cannot take her. She is only 5 years old and I have no one I can give her to. I am hoping I can find a home for her. It would need to be a home with a loving owner but a limited amount to people coming through because she is very protective of her owner and "her territory". She is easy to train with treats but is not good with negative discipline (yelling, physical threats or striking). Food, food, food!

Story
We adopted Hershey shoo we call moose often from a kill shelter 4 years ago when we lived in a home with a large fenced in yard and we never had an issue with her. We needed to move no fault of our own ( the picture with all the boxes was in the packing process) and we unfortunately had a hard time finding any rental that would allow dogs, unfortunately the house we found didn’t have a yard. We didn’t think that would be an issue till it was, she does not like rocks or stones or the broken sidewalks, she has resorted to refusing to go outside often far to often. Due to major surgeries in my end and work schedules of the rest of the home we feel she would be much better in a home with a yard and someone who can spend much more time with her. We are sad to let her go but we do feel it’s best. She will not bother things that aren’t hers if you tell her no. She loves toys she can tear apart, she is UTD on her rabies shot. She really is a good dog that needs more love.

Story
Beau is a big sweetie. 65 lbs of love and attention seeking! He is dog aggressive, but has never met a human he doesnt already love, despite a background of abuse and neglect. As far as we know he was pulled off the street as a puppy then neglected for several years in a small apartment without much outdoor access. He has been with us for about 3-4 years now. The big issue is hes not getting the attention and time he deserves. He doesnt like playing in the yard alone but we havent been able to get him out on regular walks since we had 2 kids. He isnt aggressive or rough with the babies at all but he doesnt see them as more than moving furniture. He will run right over them.. but also accepts snacks from them gently. He doesnt really enjoy their pets. Hes not hard to control with his pinch collar on walks when we see other dogs but we play it very safe. He just wants to be cuddled. All day!

Colt is an 8 year old Black Lab. He needs more time to play and run than we can do for him anymore and it’s not fair to him. Hes a good boy who is a little jumpy but very loving.

Story
Hello, looking for a home for a very affectionate 10 year old mini pinscher pomeranian mix. Her name is Bebe. She is a rescue who is my other 2 dogs' sibling, but she is NOT a multi dog household kind of girl. She was severely abused for a long time. I've worked with many trainers, meds, and therapy. However, she just can't be with other dogs, especially female. She is fantastic, affectionate, and delightful on her own. I love her very much. I really want her to be happy.
