Story
The ONLY reason I am trying to rehome this dog is because of my current living situation. Because of a domestic violence situation, I had to leave my house with my two daughters. My dog is currently on a runner, being brought food and water by a neighbor. My ex is arrested, but I have to move from my house and cannot take care of my dog anymore. He is a SWEET dog! He is fixed and had a rabies shot this year. He loves kids and gets along with other dogs. He is also really small and calm. He is super content with curling up in the house, although enjoys being outside in decent weather. I have another dog I am rehoming too, but this dog is my heart.

Story
I found this dog and rescued her about a year ago. Because of my current situation, I have to move. I cannot take her with me. She is a super sweet dog. She has a ton of energy and love to give. She is currently under stimulated and primarily has to stay on the runner outside. My neighbor is bringing her food and water since I cannot live at the house right now. She deserves a loving home. She thrives outside and would benefit in a family with other dogs and room to run. She is not up to date on shots, but I will help pay for her to get her shots up to date. I am just really low on funds right now. She is fixed. She is great with kids, but a little too high energy for little ones.

Story
Frankie is a sweetheart that loves everyone he meets. He has been through a lot the past few weeks. He was abandoned by has former family, who lived down the street from us, when they moved away suddenly. He stayed by their house for days waiting for them to come home before we realized he was abandoned and brought him to our home to care for him. Unfortunately one of our large dogs is aggressive towards Frankie and so he will still need to find a safe forever home with a different family. He is a ray of sunshine! He loves his walks, treats and dog friends and just wants to be part of the fun. He is a bundle of energy and doesn’t always realize how big he is though, so Frankie would do best in a home with a family that can continue to work with him to learn to channel his energy in fun and safe ways. If you can find a place in your home and heart for this sweet boy then you will have a loyal and loving companion for life!
