Story
Scarlett is a sweet, energetic, and affectionate girl with a big personality. Shes smart, quick to learn, and loves being around her people, whether thats playing outside or cuddling up for a nap. She’s house-trained, friendly with dogs and children, and does well with routine. Scarlett can be a little timid with loud noises but is very gentle and knows her crate as her safe space. She enjoys toys, regular walks, and spending time with those she loves. Due to worsening allergies and eczema, I can no longer give Scarlett the care she deserves. This decision was made out of love, and I am hoping to find her a safe, happy home where she can continue to thrive. Shes spayed, healthy, and ready to be someones best friend 🤍

Story
He was born April 29, 2025. His mom is an Australian Shepherd (pic 4), and his dad is a Bully Xl (pic 3). See the picture of the parents. He is on the go all the time, so does needs some training and a yard to run in. I think he is just a little confined living in an RV. He likes to play fetch. Does not like cats or at least thinks they should play with him, only he is a little too rough. Does not like to be left alone and can become destructive (chew shoes) when he is. He can be good, just needs more space than what we have.

Story
Hey everyone, this is chop and Norro. They’re two strays that me and my family took in they do pretty well with potty training, especially recently that we’ve been a little bit more on it either on the pee pad or outside is there only options they don’t pee in any other room in the house the only issues that they have had is with each other for some reason recently they’ve just grown to dislike each other so we’ve kept them separate but they don’t fight with our other dog at all our older dog very energetic little guys definitely need a home where they’ll get a good amount of training hopefully and a big yard or someone who will be willing to walk them and everything originally I had both of them up then it was just chopped, but I’ve decided that either one deserves a chance of getting a better home they both get along with our older dog, so there really is no issue with either one leaving the house Please let me know if anyone’s interested. I just want them to have a nice safe home.
