Story
Rocky Bolba came into my life at 8 weeks old November 2018. He will be 8 years young this November. Rocky is great with people, he needs them around as much as possible. He is loyal, loving and loves to cuddle especially at night time. He has always slept in bed with me, so must love sleep with Rocky. Rocky has been diagnosed with diabetes about a 11/2 years ago. He is doing great. My heart is broken to have to give him up, I have no way to keep him financially. If you are needing a friend forever, Rocky is meant for you. He is sweet, loving and loves to play fetch. Ideal home for Rocky would be someone who loves dogs. Rocky is hands the best dog. He’s really great.

Story
Fletcher is a Wonderful 7 month old Dane Mix, but he is small, Dad must have been a much smaller breed. He is so playful, absolutely loves to cuddle, plays with other dogs, and goes on adventures. This has to be the laziest puppy I have ever helped. He is happy laying around with a bone, staring out a window, or just cuddling and falling asleep. He has his deep bark already and it does sound intimidating, but he's just saying Hello! He is crate trained and Ready to go home! Fletcher will be a loveable addition to the perfect family! I want someone with a fenced in yard so he can run, but not required. He is a perfect boy on a leash also and we love taking long walks. I make him sit when cars go past, and i tell him to sit and wait when i walk out the front door without him. Fill out an Application to meet this handsome little guy. Vet references and home check is a must!

Story
Kaya is a very special young lady. She is shy at first but once she warms up to you she will cuddle, play, anything you like. Kaya is 40lbs.She is very smart. She learns extremely fast.Kaya is crate trained, and she will hide inside her crate until she knows she is safe. Once she is alone with you though she bonds.Kaya is so soft and cuddly, she is getting used to being brushed, and she found out she likes a bath. Kaya is housebroken. She Loves playing with all the dogs here, doesn't mind my 2 cats...not sure if she will chase because my cats stand their ground, and lived in a home with young children. Kaya is lazy if you want, or energetic, she's perfect.The family that had her could not keep her due to their new trailer park not allowing Kaya's breed. She was spayed April 13th and is ready to go Home and show someone alot of love.Kaya is beautiful inside and out. She has so much love to give and the best hugs. She will touch her cheek to yours for her special hug. Warms the heart.

Story
Phoenix is a very calm, quiet dog who’s just starting to show us her true personality. It will take her a few minutes to warm up. She seems to be accepting of other dogs. We’ve walked her with other dogs and she wasn’t bothered by them at all. She’s very calm and quiet in her kennel. She meets people calmly and gently. If you’re looking for a calm, laid-back well adjusted dog Phoenix might be the girl for you.

Dexter is new to us but we can already tell he’s a great dog!We had him around the cat in the kennel and his response was very goodSo far he’s been agreeable and well behaved and gentle!He attended an event with lots of people and other dogs and he had a great time.
