Story
Found this puppy one morning. Looked and looked for her owner. Made many FB posts and went door to door, and nothing. She is a sweet puppy with lots of energy. We cannot keep her because we already have a dog and can only have one dog at our home. A little bit about Sid: -Her name came from the movie Ice Age, from the character "Sid", due to her wide-set eyes. -Some odd things about her is; she really likes socks as toys and likes to chew on rocks and eat leaves. -She is a velcro dog and likes to be right with you when she gets a toy. -Sid is not completely potty-trained, yet! She is doing much better and just needs more time and patience. She has started doing to door time to time when she needs to go out. -She really likes our large dog and loves to wrestle with him. -She has been doing well off-leash, too, when taken outside. -Sid is doing really well in the crate, too!

Story
I am 5 1/2 years old. I prefer adult and teen companions because I have a lot of energy. My dad owner has Alzheimer's disease and doesn't know how to take care of me anymore. My mom person is so busy taking care of him that we rarely have time to play. I was rescued from a family who put me in a small cage all day. that's probably w,hy I bark at new people when I first meet them I like riding in cars. I'm very smart. I love to fetch and do tricks. I will sleep in my crate at night and I like it. But i also love to cuddle on the couch. l I like big dogs. I am healthy and strong and have a thick and shiny coat. I may need my ears cleaned once in a while. I don't like it though. I have a month's worth of food, six months of Simparica Trio, a large crate, a harness, and leash that I will bring to my new home. Because my dad owner is very ill and my mom loves me so much, she is willing to travel 100 miles to find me a good home. I hope to meet you soon.

Story
Apollo is almost 6 years old. Her birthday is 4/4/20. I have been her owner the entire time. She is a great dog with absolutely no problems. She is great with other pets/kids. She is very loving and wants to cuddle all the time. I am in the unfortunate situation of needing to relocate and will not be able to bring her with me. I am looking for a loving family to give her the care and attention she deserves for the later years of her life.

Story
My pet Ollie came to my home February 2020 as a 10 week old puppy. He was full of energy and cute as could be. My grandchildren were living with me at the time and he got loads of attention. He loves being outside but prefers someone to be with him. He loves playing with balls and tug of war. He enjoys playing in water and going for long walks. Ollie was not consistently socialized so he is more of a "people" dog, meaning he enjoys the company of humans over dogs. He is crate trained, but is only in the crate if I am going to be gone for more than 2 hours. He likes apples and carrots. I try not to give him processed snacks. He follows verbal commands, such as: sit, place, come. He walks on leash mostly. I do let him walk off leash in the early morning before people are out or traffic gets too busy. In the home he likes being close by. He enjoys having his ears and belly rubbed. He does have separation anxiety but he is a sweet boy! My 66 year old self cannot care for him any more.
