Story
My Lady girl needs a new home and I’m absolutely gutted and heartbroken about it 😭😞 My lady girl is the typical “if i sits, i fits” dog and loves to roll up in a ball on any sort of bed. She loves getting under the blanket with you any time you’re snuggling on the couch or on the bed. She loves to sunbathe and I have had to flip her a couple of times to make sure she doesn’t burn 🤣🤣 She’s so dorky and spunky but over all just looveeessssss attention. Her ears are quite sensitive because she gets ear infections a lot but other than that, has no health problems. She’s crate trained (I can give you the one we have). She’s 10 or 11 and has lived a good life with us but for the protection of our sons, we have to rehome her. She has gotten a bit cranky in her old age and just can’t handle the unpredictability of small children. She would do best in a household with older kids who understand boundaries or no kids at all!

Story
Was found at in-laws in the country and vet thought he was 6-7 months old. We took him home and at 8 months started with a trainer. He leashes well , take him to stores and he does well, loves riding in pickup. We have had him Aa year almost. We walk 2-3miles in the morning on leash. Still with e-collar as the trainer said he will test the boundaries cause he is still a teen going on young adult. But have used rarely when he tries that. . Recently he has growled at my wife who has done nothing to him. And when I tried to re-introduce home tomy older sons, he sniffed and snapped with me there . Had to collar him. We have two grandsons that haven’t seen him since he first came here and I can’t take a chance of biting. Also i don’t have enough activity for him. He is specifically MY dog. He attached to me and will be good with my wife when I am out with her in the yard but….is an outside dog. Needs a mission…

He’s also a total people‑pleaser who enjoys attention from his person and happily soaks up affection.He gets along well with most dogs but does best with a proper introduction to new canine friends.

Story
Meet Nick – Your New Best Friend! Nick is a 3-year-old, 65-pound mixed breed with a heart as big as his sweet, soulful eyes. With his sleek short coat and medium build, he’s the perfect size for snuggling on the couch—and that just happens to be his favorite place to be! Nick is incredibly smart, affectionate, and gentle. He thrives on companionship and would love nothing more than to be by your side—whether you’re hanging out inside or enjoying time outdoors. He’s a toy enthusiast, a devoted cuddle buddy, and a loyal shadow who simply wants to love and be loved. Nick is house trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, and is up to date on vaccines, microchipped, heartworm negative, and neutered. While he had a rough patch with another dog in a previous foster home and is currently working on rebuilding his confidence around other dogs, he’s made incredible progress with guidance and patience. Nick would still make an ideal only dog (he would make the perfect “Hallmark companion dog”). His first love is to people, then to toys, and finally to his foster buddy TJ. With the right dog (not alpha), and slow introductions, he should be ok, although I am convinced, he would be content as an only dog. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and devoted companion, Nick may just be the perfect match.
