Story
I adopted Bo from the local shelter in January 2025 as a pup; not knowing how big he would get. He’s so fun and energetic. He was born in November 2024. He has so much love to give. He loves to run and play outside. I have had him inside some and he made decent progress on potty training, but I just couldn’t keep it up with my schedule. He is mainly an outside doggie except for inclimate weather. He stays in my fenced backtyard. He will sit on command. Also can do other things for treats. Bo would be best with a family or person who could give him more attention. He deserves it. I think he would do best with teens/older children who want to run and play outside or an adult who enjoys running outside. Please only respond if you would seriously give Bo lots of love and attention. He hasn’t shown any aggression towards people but is very protective and will bark and alert you if someone comes on your property he isn’t familiar with.

Story
Pom Pom is a very sweet 1 year old puppy with a lot of energy. She loves to cuddle and play but my work schedule does not permit the time she deserves. I have had her since she was about 6 weeks old. She needs and deserves someone who can commit time to play with her, take her on walks and at the end of the day allow her to curl up next to you. 💗 If you have another dog, she is best with dogs who like to play. She has all of her shots and has been spayed. It breaks my heart to let Pom Pom go but it’s what is best for her.

Story
This female great pyrenees is Aki. I do not know much about her because a family member abandoned her with me. She is very energetic and very protective. She gets along with kids and adults. Is potty trained and crate trained. She does have some yeast infection on her foot that im trying to get rid of. And most importantly she DOES NOT tolerate other dogs. She ACTS aggressive towards them. She is not leash trained either. But she is a loving house dog that needs a adopter with land so she can run and play.
