Story
Brady is between 10-12 years old. He has been an amazing companion for his aging owner, and even cuddled with her through her last few days. He loves to sit on laps, and would be a great companion for a quiet person who just need someone to sit with them. He is very sociable and friendly. He's taken good care of his mom for years, now he needs someone who will give him lots of love.

Story
We bought her when she was a puppy. We did pretty good training her for the first little while and then our schedules got in the way. The Good. She is very smart and has a tone of enery. She runs around in the yard non-stop in circles. She knows sit, lay, stay, roll over, 360 (spins in a circle), and jumps through your arms. She is potty trained and crate trained. She will go right into her kennel and sleeps in her kennel. She loves to be scratched. The Bad. She is pretty aggressive towards strangers and strange dogs. She gets very excited when you greet her and will jump up. She does okay walking on a leash and you can get her to walk in the heel position but we haven't done it a lot so you need to work with her.

Story
We are the second owner of Lucky. First owner’s kid was allergic to fur babies. He is a very gentle dog. Good with kids. He doesn’t really bark as well only when he is excited and he would bark one or twice for that. If you need a quiet dog, he is great! You can definitely jogging with him. He is very healthy and a good runner. We love Lucky and want to make sure he has the great care and love from us. But we are getting busier with our young children, work and school. This is why we would like find another family for him. He loves walks, snow and meat. Occasional he would take kids stuffy and dig a hole - hide them. Very silly! Lucky is a great family dog. Come visit and check him out!

Story
I adopted her from the humane society who said she was transferred from a shelter in Southern Utah. I unfortunately cannot keep her due to stress from my own animals and the family I gifted her too have decided she is not a good fit for them. She needs a home with someone who can keep up with her high energy and provide a stable life for her.

Story
This cute little guy was born on January 11th 2024. Our family went to meet some puppies at a pet store just to see them because our daughter loves animals so we wanted to let her pet some puppies. We fell in love with this sweet little guy and decided to bring him home. He is a very good puppy, we have been calling him Teddy because he looks like a little Teddy bear and lets you snuggle him into a little ball. He has been really good with our kids and has been doing quite well with crate training. He will sleep through the night and does his business outside as soon as we put him out in the morning. As long as we stay on top of letting him out periodically throughout the day he has had minimal accidents. Unfortunately having a puppy is not the best fit for our family at this time. Our schedule has been more demanding than we realized and we want him to have the best life possible. We paid $2200 for this puppy and are including the crate, dog bed, leash, collar purchased for him.

Story
Cizka is my cancer ESA service animal. Her birthday is March 25, 2019. I have had her since she was 18 weeks old as a cancer ESA service animal gift from my daughters and my cancer care team. Sadly, my cancer is returning aggressively and I am not in physical condition to care for her as I am about to begin treatments again. Both my daughters are grown and live far away. I am alone, and my heart is breaking that I need to rehome her. She is and has been my loyal companion 24/7 since 2019. It is very important to me that She goes to a home that is loving, kind and reassuring to her. The Shiba Inu breed is a loyal, smart, beautiful breed. Cizka is gentle with my grandchildren ages 5 and 1 yr old. She is almost too friendly. Her instinct is keen. She will growl or bark at bad people. She is protective. My next surgery is June 3 2024. I pray that she has an excellent new home, where she will be loved, cared for and treated as good as I have treated her. I worry most about that.
