Story
Frito is an almost 6-year-old mixed breed we adopted as a puppy after he recovered from parvo. He is a smart, affectionate, deeply loyal dog who loves walks, snuggling, keep-away games, and being close to his person. He does wonderfully in structured environments like dog daycare and is often used to help more nervous dogs feel comfortable. Frito needs a calm, adult-only home with someone who understands dog body language and can give him consistent structure. He is sensitive, eager to please, and bonds strongly with his primary human. Because he can be protective in confined spaces and around small children, he isn't a fit for homes with kids. In the right environment, Frito is an incredible companion; sweet, goofy, and loyal. We love him deeply and want him to have the peaceful, child-free home where he can thrive. Frito has never bitten anyone, but he did lunge at our toddler while resource guarding me and this incident is why we've decided to rehome him.

Story
My fiance and I adopted two amazing Great Pyrenees puppies 5 years ago; Roman (Male) and Sawyer (Girl); they're roughly 5 years old and are incredible, beautiful dogs. Unfortunately my fiance and I have split ways and its been a struggle to take care of both dogs and a cat by myself. They've grown up with our cat and are extremely friendly with kids and other dogs; we've never had any issues. It breaks my heart to to give Sawyer away but I'd like to find a loving home that can give her the attention she needs. She has a very sweet demeanor, has been house trained, and even knows a few commands/tricks.

Story
Blue was rescued from a foster home after being born into a litter of six Pit bull Husky mixes. He is four years old, with a birthday on March 18th. Blue is a very sweet and affectionate dog who gets along well with children and loves giving kisses. He has never shown any signs of aggression. He enjoys howling at firetrucks and will speak on command, although he can be a bit stubborn with the commands but with patience, he will complete them. Blue is crate trained and has a strong love for running he can run endlessly and is truly at his happiest when he is able to stretch his legs outdoors. I am seeking a loving and responsible long term home where Blue can be cared for throughout the rest of his life.
