Story
I am heartbroken to have to make this decision, but due to changes in my living circumstances, I am looking to rehome my beloved dog June. She has been a cherished member of my family for 5 years after I adopted her from a local shelter, and it pains me to part ways. June is a sweetheart who has brought so much joy into my life. You can see in her photos that she has a signature smile and the most loving eyes you'll ever see. She is incredibly loyal and eager to please. She thrives on affection and is always by my side, ready to offer comfort and companionship. June also enjoys quiet moments indoors, cuddling up next to her favorite humans. She's the perfect combination of playful and calm, making her an ideal companion for any loving home. If you're interested in welcoming June into your life and heart, please reach out to me. Thank you for considering opening your home to my sweet June.

Story
Apollo is four years old he doesn’t get along well with other dogs but can get along with one other dog only if properly introduced and with time. He’s super friendly to people. He is potty trained. He likes to dig he is a terrier. He is also kennel trained. He know how to sit, hold, lay down, he understands out, down and no. He really is a good dog I just can’t have him anymore. All I want for him is to have a family. He is very attached to my other dog and will need a lot of love when they get seperated. He loves the water so much. He also likes to cuddle and last but not least he likes to talk not bark but he is a vocal dog.
