Story
His name is Pluto. I’ve been his only owner. Pluto is 6 years old. He is a true beagle with the loud beagle bark and howling from time to time. He is the sweetest cuddle buddy and loves to be snug under the covers. He enjoys exploring outside and sun bathing. He does have some temper tantrum when you try to pick him up to quickly. He doesn’t really like to be picked up at all but if you take it slow, he allows it. We did have a few issues at the dog park when he felt over whelmed by to many dogs around him, but just growling and letting them know he didn’t like being crowded. It breaks my heard to have to rehome Pluto. I will not let him go unless I find the right people for him. He needs a forever home, and someone that will let him snuggle and sleep in the bed with them. He needs a patient person that won’t just give up on him if he has a bad day.

Story
This is Milo and Max and they are a bonded pair. We need them to be adopted together and will only allow them to be adopted together. They love each other so much and are the best of friends (as you can see in the last photo). They love to play fetch with a tennis ball in the backyard and love to cuddle and snuggle. They are the most loving dogs you will ever meet. They love to jump, lick and bark at new people and get VERY excited to meet new people. We are VERY sad that we have to re-home our first babies, but Milo our lab has become aggressive towards our 2 year old son. He has NEVER bitten anyone ever and honestly is the sweetest boy but he just doesn't do well with small kiddos. They would both do best in a home where they get lots of love and exercise and get your undivided attention. We will include all of their things, like dog beds, food bowls, treats and food. We can't wait to meet you.

Story
Ambush has the best personality. He loves playing outside and absolutely loves splashing in the water. He is the sweetest, tries to act bossy, but is scared of his own shadow. He needs a family that will spend time with him, let him sleep beside them, and allow him to snuggle up on the couch to watch tv. He is an inside family dog. He needs a family that doesn’t have other pets. He doesn’t like to share. He loves kids and people, just not other animals. If you are wanting to find your one and only fur-baby. You won’t find anything better than Ambush.

Cockapoo

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dwight is a great companion. He struggles with reactivity towards new people and dogs/anxiety, but when he warms up and feels safe, he is loyal, fun, and well behaved. When meeting new people, Dwight will usually bark but settle quickly if he is being ignored by the person for the first little bit.He has been through multiple training programs and walks in heel on a leash, knows lots of commands (down, place, sit, roll over, off, inside, spin, and more and we are working on getting him 100% comfortable in his crate (though his separation anxiety is much better when hanging out in a gated off space like a dining room vs the crate). We feel strongly that Dwight would do best in a home without young children and with someone who is familiar with and knows how to handle more anxious dogs. It is so important to us that he get to a home where he can continue training and working on overcoming his challenges, but also be loved unconditionally and given the attention he deserves.

Story
Meet Cuzco: a mini Aussie / Alaskan Malamute mix who's pretty sure he's actually a Border Collie. He's 18 months old and has been part of our family for almost a year. Cuzco is smart, eager to learn, loyal, and full of personality. He's fully housetrained, neutered, and up to date on all vaccines. He picks up new commands quickly, loves being outside, and once he trusts you, he's the most devoted little shadow you'll ever meet. Being honest about him: Cuzco is reactive toward some other dogs - especially smaller ones. It's fear-based, not aggression ... he gets scared and that comes out as barking and lunging. I've worked with him through training classes and one-on-one at home, and while he's a quick study in many ways, the reactivity hasn't improved enough for our household. Managing him on walks and around other dogs has become more than we can sustain day to day. He deserves a home that's better matched to who he is! Adjectives I'd use: smart, loyal, energetic, affectionate
