Story
I’m looking to rehome my puppy, Winston. He’s very sweet, and well behaved, he’s just a little too energetic and rambunctious for my tiny elderly Yorkies. I’m not looking for any money, I just want him to go to a good home. He is potty trained, but he has a surprisingly small bladder for such a big dog, so you’ll need to be willing to walk him quite often. With him, I’ll bring all of his necessities (dog bowls, food container, bed, cage, toys). however, he does not do well in a cage. He will rub his nose raw against the bars if he’s left there alone. He is a big cuddle bug, and is loyal once he learns to love you.

Story
I rescued Charlie and Willow from a hoarder house in Vegas when they were 6 months old. They are 9 years old now and they are the sweetest most loving dogs ever. This is the hardest thing I will have ever had to do but due to my health, I can’t care for them anymore. They are truly loved by anyone they’ve ever met. They’re always the favorite dogs at any boarding I’ve ever had to take them. I am looking for someone who will treat them like their children.

Story
Reyna is only 7 months old about to be 8 months on the 19th. She is deaf and is not very responsive to words but vibrations do get her attention. She is very playful but is very nippy when it comes to playing. She does have mild food aggression when she finds food she will try her best to keep it and stay away from you but may bite if your hands are in close contact with her face. She definitely needs lots of time and love, and would benefit from being trained. She's a lot of work but still a great puppy. Would prefer someone in the Newport News and Hampton Va area.If you are interested you can contact me at 757-782-0763

Story
We adopted Harper from a shelter at 8 weeks old. She was born in the shelter and we met her mom & siblings too. She was born 3/5/2025. Her DNA test showed her father to be Australian Shepherd. Her mother was a mix of terrier, lab, boxer. We took her to a professional trainer for 3 weeks. She has an e collar which she mostly responds to the tone. Rarely do we use the other button. Harper has a lot of energy and needs to be with an active family and/or another dog or two to play with. She is strong and loves to explore. Her favorite toys are chuckit balls, cow hooves and her big blue ball/handle. She doesn't get people food, just 1.5 cups of dry food with doggy bone broth twice/day. She also gets assorted treats through the day. She's 65 pounds, we don't expect her to get bigger. We don't use her kennel but she does when she's been with the trainer or boarded. She loves her neck massages and booty scratches. ;).

Story
Storm is a 9 year old female that is house trained. We adopted her from the SPCA 7 years ago and have loved our time with her but she really needs a back yard to run around. I started my new job as a nurse and am not home enough for her. She is such a loving and sweet dog that loves cuddles and car rides, but requires a lot of attention. She does get bored and likes to lick her paws and can cause a scab to form so She must have a home that has a back yard and someone with a lot of time on their hand. She is good around kids but not really sure about other dogs. She likes to play with other big dogs but likes to be the alpha. Up to date on all her vaccinations.
