Story
💗 Looking for the Perfect Home for a Sweet Poodle Girl 💗 We are looking to rehome our beloved 6-year-old female Poodle to the right home where she can truly thrive. She is: 🐾 Loving, smart, and playful 🐾 Great with kids 🐾 Enjoys playing with other dogs 🐾 House-trained and well-mannered Important to know: We adopted Farrah when she was 4 from a breeder; she has since been fixed and gone to a two-week doggy bootcamp. We made the incredible difficult decision to rehome her because she can be territorial with our other dogs in the home and has been marking her territory on our carpets/rugs. We have a new baby in the home and can't risk the sanitation concerns any more. She is the sweetest dog I've ever had and is full of love to give. This decision is being made out of love, not convenience. We want her placed in a safe, stable, and loving home where she will be cherished as she deserves.

Story
Missy is almost 5 years old. She was the runt of the litter. She is a great dog, very sweet and loves to be pet. She is house trained and crate trained. She doesn’t need a lot of activity but would love a walk to sniff. She likes treats but will take hostage of a bone. Unfortunately she has developed littermate syndrome to her sibling and has gotten aggressive towards them. I’ve been having to keep them separate which is getting impossible to do with 2 small children. Missy is great with our older dog and other dogs we meet. We feel this is in her best interest. She is so sweet and will be missed!

Story
Mimosa is a 7-year-old sweetheart with the gentlest soul- quiet, loving and wonderfully obedient. I adopted her in 2019, and since then she has been a calm, loyal presence, always affectionate without being demanding and content just being near. She is well-mannered, easygoing, and deeply intuitive, the kind of pet who brings peace into a home. Making the decision to rehome her comes from a place of love, as I'm navigating another pregnancy alongside the profound loss of my fiance, and I want to ensure she receives the time, stability, and attention she truly deserves. She would thrive in a caring home that can offer her the warmth and consistency she so beautifully gives in return.

Story
We love this dog. He’s sweet, kind and great with the kids. We’ve had him since he was a puppy and now he’s 11. We had some amazing years playing, running and going on walks. He’s truly a great dog that is very loving and snuggly. We are re-homing him because we have five young kids all under 8 and we simply can not care for him the way we want to. He needs more exercise and attention that we just can’t give. It is really hard for us to say goodbye but it’s best for him and for us. We want him to go to a loving home that will enjoy all the snuggles, take him on walks and let him live out his life in the best way possible.

Story
Hello everyone, my boyfriend and i are currently looking to rehome our baby Cash. we are unable to care for and give her the attention she needs due to our busy schedules with work and school, causing us to barely be home. we hate the idea of surrendering her to a shelter, so we are searching for new owners who are willing to take on the responsibility of her (she does have separation anxiety, so preferably a home where shes not left alone often) Cash is a pit/belgian malinois mix, around 2 years old, a 54-pound, medium sized dog. she is a very sweet girl, however she is a bit hyper. she is house broken, fixed, and up to date on her shots. like stated, she does have anxiety and its really only bad when in the crate or vet visits. she would need to be put on regular anxiety meds. she would come with all necessary supplies: crate, food, food bowls, leash, and harness we want to find her a loving home with a family who has the time and energy to give her the attention she needs
