Story
Leo is such a sweet boy. He was raised with kids that loving played with him, so he is used to harmless rough housing. He grew up with another small dog and cats. He is friendly and kind to all animals. He has never bitten anyone or any other animal. He loves walks and visiting other dogs at the dog park. He is a patient walker and positively social with other dogs. He loves hanging around the house with people and is very calm and quiet and has never given us any trouble.

Story
I cannot take care of him much longer, and will be forced to either surrender him to a shelter or euthanize him (which I really do not want to do)This was my wife's dog. We are going through a divorce and I have done my best to take care of him. Unfortunately right now he stays in his kennel and only gets let out twice a day. I do not have the time, nor the ability to give him the life he deserves. She is unable to keep him, and I have been doing my best for the last year. I know he isn't as happy as he could be or once was. I need him to go to a good home where he can be loved on, because he has a lot of love to give.

Story
Bilbo is an unfixed great pyranees and Anatolian shepherd mix. He is not doing well with our little kids and we are looking to find him a household with with teens or older. He is good with some dogs but has shown some nipping/herding behavior in the recent past. He is about 4 months old and friendly. I love this dog but, I do not have the time space or knowledge to train him effectively. He is crate trained and somewhat housebroken, he needs his booster shots which we will complete before anyone adopts him.

Story
I cannot take care of him much longer, and will be forced to either surrender him to a shelter or euthanize him (which I really do not want to do)This is Silas, he was born with a birth defect as you can see in the picture. It doesn't hinder him whatsoever. He was also my wife's dog and as we are going through the divorce she is unable to take care of him. I have been taking care of him for over a year and can no longer do so. He's a great dog with a lot of love to give, and he gets around great even though his leg is short on the front. He has a lot of energy, but can also be very well tempered.

Story
Bruno been with me since February 18.He’s such a sweet boy. He loves to play and go for walks. He loves his toys and treats.he is crate trained, good with my girls, they’re older. He barks at strangers when they come into the house And also at kittens.He warmed up to us quickly but took a few weeks to warm up to our un-neutered male doodle. They became new fast friends and love to play with each other inside & out. He also not neutered.He is up-to-date on his shots. The home for him has a yard and a family that has the time to get to know him, and enjoy his rambunctious playful ways.His first home moved and couldn’t take him and his 2nd home named him Pickles and then Bear but only had him for a month before she decided that she was too busy for this lovable, playful guy.

Story
Meet Ziggy — Your Big, Bouncy Best Friend!Ziggy is a 3ish-year-old oversized goofball with the heart of a puppy and the body of a 65 pound marshmallow. He is a Lab Pit mix with the classic Lab build and that adorable square pittie head that makes him look like he was born for head scratches.This boy LOVES life. Everything is exciting. Toys? Exciting. Walks? Super exciting. New people? VERY exciting. He is the dog version of “WOOHOO!” wrapped in fur.Ziggy plays great with other dogs and reads the room surprisingly well. If a dog tells him “Hey dude, chill,” he politely backs off. His size can be a little intimidating at first glance, but his personality is all sunshine. He is friendly with dogs of all sizes although his enthusiasm might be a bit much for small or timid pups.He is also an A plus water dog who loves to play outside, splash, swim, and then come inside for a good chill session. When it is bedtime or downtime, he settles in after about fifteen minutes and becomes a cuddly, snoring couch ornament.Ziggy is:• House and kennel trained• A great walker although he still pulls a little because he is strong• A playful chewer when bored so he should be kenneled when unsupervised• A sweetheart with people but can be jumpy at first because he is excited to say hello• A bit clueless about his size which makes him feel like a giant toddler in a medium large bodyBecause of his enthusiasm and occasional jumping or leash pulling, Ziggy would benefit from an adopter willing to continue a little basic training at home. He is smart, eager to please, and will absolutely thrive with a family who gives him structure and love.If you love big happy wiggly dogs who bring laughter into every room they enter, Ziggy is your guy. He will make every walk every play session and every lazy afternoon feel like an adventure. He just needs a family who loves him back.
