Story
Jax is an extremely loving dog! He is really a dog that would love to be someone’s baby that can cuddle in bed, play all day sweet dog. To be honest, we had a baby and we just aren’t sure that Jax can be 100% trusted with a wild toddler. He loves playing with other animals and people and is very energetic. He is 5 years old, neutered and microchipped. We would love for him to have a more loving home as we are really struggling with him and the baby. He is kennel trained as well and would come with his kennel

Luna

Chihuahua Pug

Female, 3 yrs 11 mos
Cheswick, PA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luna and Harry must stay together for Harry's sake. He is the more nervous and tends to shy from new things. Their brother Henry we were able to separate after many months of work with Henry going to visit for an hour or so and then extending the time. Sadly this didn't work for Harry. They are 3 1/2 years old. They had never been outside and we had to acclimatize them to the real world. It took a year before they would willingly walk out the door on leash. Both are very sweet dogs once they get to know you which doesn't take long. They are pee pad trained but are going outside now. Small children are not recommended as the pair are not well socialized with small kids and the pups would probably react badly to pulling or trying to be picked up the little ones. They do well with some dogs but not all they meet, with a little work they can adjust.

Story
Friendly, Independent, House-trained, Vaccinations up to date, neutered. Junior is a 9 yr lab mix 65lbs. Junior and another dog were left in a house by themselves for a year with former elderly owner feeding and watering once a day. She could no longer live in the house and was unable to take the dogs with her. Junior loves shredding his toys and getting the squeaker out, he loves the outside and going for walks. The rain and snow do not bother him at all. He rode well in the car going to the vet and was quite good in vet office. He is also comfortable without a lot of fuss and good at amusing himself. His housetraining is good as he goes out the doggie door and never made a mess inside. He is a very nice boy and deserves a loving home for the last years of his life.

Story
Ivan is a gorgeous, ~3 year old, 65lb boy. We think he's a Carolina Dog / Lab mix based on his features. Regardless of breed, he’s a loyal guy looking for his forever human(s). Housetrained: Yes!Cratetrained: Yes!Key fact: Ivan LOVES people. He adores head scratches and sitting near you.Favorite indoor activity: bones, bones, bones!!Favorite outdoor activity: zooming in the yard or helping my foster mom with gardeningDogs: Ivan would like to be your one and only Cats: Ivan thinks they are food, so no cats!When you're home, he loves to be outside and would happily keep you company while you do yardwork, garden, or soak up the sun. He is also content chewing a bone or enjoying a kong indoors. He has also stepped up his napping game. Given his size and his personality, we are requiring a single family home with a fenced in yard OR a country setting that would provide him with ample space to frolic about and enjoy life. Older kids would be fine for Ivan. He can get excited and sometimes jump - please be willing to continue his training with this - so we feel best if his home doesn't have younger children or those unstable on their feet.  He is working on knowing that sitting calm = happy humans and/or treatos. Ivan is a boy with a heart of gold who will love you beyond measure. He may win you over when he leans into you, somehow both giving and requesting love. He deserves someone who will be patient with him. And give lots of pets and head kisses, which are his favorite. If you think this could be you, please apply for him today.

Story
Meet Cinnamon Spice!Age: 2 years old | Weight: 15 lbs  Cinnamon is looking for her always and forever.  She is a sweet pup, with long legs and a very loving and playful personality.  She can be a little possesive of her person, but that is common with the smaller dogs and she is easily corrected.  Cinnamon is crate trained and housebroken.  She will entertain herself playing with her favorite stuffed bear but really loves to be next to you watching tv.  Because she can get overly excited during play, she would do best with older children only.  If you are looking for a constant companion, Cinnamon Spice is ready to warm up your home and your heart.  Apply now and let Cinnamon Spice add a little flavor to your life! ##2528551##
