Story
We found Mable walking on the side of the road, one cold rainy night in November. We are looking to rehome her because she is too large for our house with our 4 cats. She does good with the cats. She wants to play with them but they want nothing to do with her. When we take her on walks, she seems interested in some dogs and not others. We have not tested her with other dogs. We think she's about 5 years old. She very loveable and likes being the center of attention. She loves sleeping in bed with us and lying with us on the couch. She would need an owner that is a runner or active. She loves to be chased in the backyard or playing defender for me while I practice hockey in the garage. While she is not spayed, we are willing to help with the process if the new owner would like it done.

Story
🐾Meet Grant!🐾 Grant is a 1-year-and-5-month-old Great Dane looking for a loving new home. ❤️ He is very friendly, sweet, and great with kids. He has a gentle personality and loves being around people. I'm hoping to find him a new home as soon as possible, but most importantly, I want to make sure he goes to a caring family who will love and take good care of him. If you're genuinely interested in giving Grant a good home, please reach out for more information. 🐶❤️

This is jetta she is a sweet girl. Mostly sleeps or wants belly rubs, mostly to herself. As i would keep her iv been mentally dealing with a lot and it’s been hard to keep up with her financially. I don’t feel it’s right and feel like she would be better rehome.

Story
Freja is an approximately 2 year old female German Shepherd in search of a loving, single-dog home. She was rescued from an abandonment situation, and since then we have gotten her back up to a healthy weight in a safe environment.She knows and responds well to many common commands (sit, lay down, "crate", etc) and is receptive to new training and situations; we have been meeting weekly with a dog trainer to further her abilities. She is currently living in the same house as another dog, but she is not dog-socialised and should ideally be the only dog in the home. We are still working on her dog reactivity but at the moment she does not know how to properly interact with her fellow canine companions.Freja comes with a crate, toys, loads of energy, and even more love.

Story
Dale is 1 year and 7 months old. I got him from a coworker that couldn't take him to their new apartment. I have had him for 7 months now and he is still not getting along with my elderly cat. The cat hides most of the time and is now at times not using the litter box in fear of the dog. The dog has never attacked the cat. I keep them separated for the most part, but he always barks and tries to chase him. He has a lot of energy and is hard for me to walk. I'm on the smaller side and he pretty much walks me. I do not have the money to take him for training. He is a lover boy and loves attention and belly rubs. I think he would be a great fit for a male willing to put in some time training him.

I got Prince when he was 2 most. Old. From a pet store. He gets along with ALL animals, doesn't chase squirrels, rabbits ,or cats! Gets along with other dogs as well. Loves affection & attention. Loyal and friendly! But he doesn't like it if someone is aggressive with you! I just want him to live a good life . Happy and healthy. He is an ALPHA dog, so you have to BE the leader!
