Story
I got Dixie for my 8th birthday from the pound. I don’t know how old she is or what her breed is. She’s close to 13 years old. Unfortunately I don’t feel like I can give her the life I want for her anymore. I would love for her to be cared for by someone who could give her plenty of walks outside and hang out with her around the house. She’s very spry for her age. She’s never been a fan of dog toys, other dogs or cats, she just ignores them. However, she loves people. She loves to watch me around the house and sit on the couch with me, nudging me with her nose anytime she wants attention. She has a bit of a timid look but she is a really sweet companion who just wants your attention and loving. Veterinarians have suggested she get an echocardiogram within the next year as she does have a small heart murmur. She would also benefit from a professional teeth cleaning but I was told the echo should be done first to make sure she would be ok with any anesthesia.

Story
Gia is a very good girl she loves cuddles and stuffed toys she is house trained and very smart, she does struggle when meeting strange dogs but does well after being introduced, she loves car rides and a good pup cup, shes great with kids and people and really bonds with women. She does have some allergies that make her itch we have tried different things to help but the thing that seems to help most is keeping her hair short. I wish I could keep her she is a amazing dog but I can no longer take care of her the way she needs due to person health

Story
Lucy is 8 years old, good with kids and people. She is mostly calm with the occasional zoomies! She does get bad allergies during summer with her eyes and ears. Due to unfortunate circumstances, my family doesn’t have a place to live right now & are unsure when they will find a place. She is a very good dog, she needs a new forever home with a yard and more attention throughout the day.

Story
We got her 8 years ago she was a pup from my ex wife's lab. She is an amazing dog with an awesome personality and she is great with kids we had other dogs and 2 cats here as well she got along with them all. She is getting older but she still has alot left in her. Her nickname is Lucy Goosy aka Eyore. She likes to chase her tail and play fetch she loves going on walks even though she is the one doing the walking. We arent worried about the adoption free as long as she is going to a good home. She is well loved and well behaved. She is 100% house broken and will scratch at the door when she needs to use the bathroom. Want a good friend, Lucy is the best candidate. She is very loving and cuddly. We just want her to go to a good home who will take very good care of her she deserves it.

Story
Neo is a blue merle he is 153 lbs and very energetic. Neo has never bitten any animals or anyone. He’s a big dog and thinks he’s a chihuahua, his tail could be listed as a weapon lol. Moved from GA four acres and a very roomy house to UT in a 3 story apartment . We work so much we don’t have the time to give him the attention he needs it breaks my heart to even type this but he really needs room to move and deserves someone that can provide him with all the love he should get. Neo is honestly a silly pup that just wants to be with you all day and night . He chews through toys like it’s food but he will keep some of the stuffed ones that he likes. It’s usually a fragile looking one or a monkey. I love him with all my heart and soul but he really doesn’t have enough room sometimes to turn around he has to back up and turn. I feel aweful about it but we had to move for job purposes and opportunities. He growls sometimes nothing threatening just like his little test lol. Big goofball
