Story

Mochi is a 7-year old male Chihuahua Mix from Nevada. He is a very affectionate boy that loves people, playing, and going for walks. He is very good with kids and loves the attention. The reason we are looking for a new home for him is because we have a small child and an infant that cry all the time and we think their screams hurt his ears and he yelps very loudly and tries to hide. His yelps make the kids cry harder and their cries make him cry harder. We wish it wasn’t so but we think it gives him a lot of stress and anxiety and isn’t the right environment for him. He is a good boy that deserves a home that’s right for him with people that can play with him more often and provide a less stressful environment.

Details

Story

Little Buddy is our last puppy that needs a home from a litter of 9. Mom (beagle mix) was rescued from a gas station in Georgia at Thanksgiving time while pregnant, we are unsure of what breed dad is. He was born December 19th making him about 5 months old. Buddy is hard of seeing and responds best to clapping and voices. He is not a fan of loud noises (I.e. lawnmowers, washing machines, dirt bikes, etc.). He is extremely energetic and loves to run, jump, play with toys, his mom & our male Pitt. Buddy also does well with chickens, he enjoys chasing them around when he hears them. I believe that he would do well in a home with other dogs that he could learn from, but could also benefit from being the only pup and getting plenty of special attention. Currently he is working on walking up a small set of stairs but is afraid of going down them.

Story

I acquired Lola through SPCA shelter. She is around 6 years old. She likes to go outside a lot, sometimes just in and out, or stay longer for sunbathing . She doesn't care for long walks, but she does still love them. Lola is a good girl. She is very calm, good with people, good with shower, grooming, cutting nails. She likes to walk but not long. I am Ukrainian and want to move back to Ukraine. I can't take care of her anymore. I love her so much, but I can't bring her with me. I can provide all things she would need for the beginning: like dog bowls, collar, pillow, sofa she likes to sleep on and more. Just want her to be in a good home.

Story

Julie was acquired in SPCA shelter. Julie is ~5 years old. She is a very lovable and appreciative dog. However, she is very anxious of vaccum cleaners, sink disposals, and other loud noises. She doesn’t like cats, lives with another dog now. She does have trouble with grooming. She likes to bark, but I have a collar that helps to control it. Julie loves going for a walk, and well trained at home. I got her because I wanted to help her to have a good home, and be more relax and confident. From my understanding, she never had a home before me, and lived outside. She has come a long way. Overall, Julie is energetic, but not annoying, playful and funny. Julie is one of the kind. I am Ukrainian and want to move back to Ukraine. I can't take care of her anymore. I love her so much, but know I can't bring her with me. I can provide all things she will need for the beginning: Just want her to be in a good hands
