Story
Our son got Alice in August of 2022, she was about 6 weeks old at the time. Alice is soon to be 2 years old. Our son had her shots and was spayed in November of 2022. He has recently relocated and is unable to take Alice to his new residence. We are unable to keep Alice because of our own physical ability. We would like Alice to go to a home that has room to run and play. She is very active and playful

Story
We have had Oliver since he was just weeks old and he has always been such a loving pup. He was given to my daughter by a friend. He has always been an indoor dog and he was potty trained pretty easily. He is great with children, as long as we had him never had issues with him. He loves attention and for people to pet him. He is not a barker, only when he wants to get someone's attention or when he really needs to go potty. He has been around dogs but gets a bit nervous with bigger dogs. Although we marked him as a border collie, because that is what his paperwork says, he is mixed with another breed, not sure what it is. Our family loves Oliver, we are just in a different season in life and our family situation has changed. Our schedules have gotten pretty busy and my daughter has gone off to college. We have tried everything we can but we are at a point where we feel like he needs to be with someone who can attend to him and give him the love and care that he deserves.

Hi! I'm Ava! I am a female, 6 year old, Pit mix and weigh approx. 55lbs. I was surrendered due to my family no longer being able to care for me. I am SUPER affectionate! I walk well on a leash and I am crate trained. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE tennis balls! Bring me home and let's play a game of fetch! Do not let my age fool you, I am still an active girl. I know how to sit, shake, down, and spin! I am treat-motivated and still very willing to learn! I am crate trained and house broken! I am friendly with people of all ages! I have been looking for my new family for 589 days as of 04/17/24! Since I am considered a Diamond Dog, my adoption fee is $75. I am spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my basic vaccines. I am also heartworm negative!
