Story
This is Nessie!! Due to our busy schedule, we can no longer keep her and give her everything she needs. We got her from a rescue shelter so we’re unsure what breeds she is. She just turned 1 at the end of October so she’s still very much a puppy! She’s a lovable dog that has been house trained. She has learned some basic commands like sit, lay down, and wait. She needs to continue to be leash trained because she will tug a lot while on a walk. She’s been to the dog park and loves to run around with the other dogs. She doesn’t mind playing a little rough with dogs bigger than her. She hasn’t been around too many cats and doesn’t have a good experience with the few she has met. She does well with kids and knows to be gentle with them. She loves to play tug and will sometimes fetch. Her favorite toys include ropes, a broccoli, and tennis balls. Don’t expect toys to last long! She’s a sweet puppy with the cutest ears and wiggly butt!

Story
Rehoming Madison due to no fault of hers. Don't you want a dog that greets you at the door, showers you with love and kisses and is great with kids of all ages? Madison is an inside dog that is approximately 4-5 years. She is a German Sheppard mix. She does great at the groomers and getting her nails done. What girl doesn't like a manicure? Madison is UTD on her shots, fixed and chipped. She is a big goof ball, a couch potato and tries to be a lap dog. Madison is house trained, crate trained a knows a few commands. She does walk on a leash but tends to pull. She does not bite/chew anything besides her toys and is very food motivated. A few of Maison's quirks: she does not like to go outside unless you go with her, does not like car rides, or fireworks. We are looking for her furever home with a family that is patient and will love her like we do. Rehoming fee is $100 just to make sure she goes to a good home. Comes with everything she has: crate, leash, toys, food, treats, etc.
