Story
Bella is just 11 months old and is a little dog full of affection, energy, and a desire to share her life with someone who can give her the love and time she deserves. From a young age, she has been a very special companion, one of those whose presence brightens any day. Today, with much love and with her well-being in mind, we are looking for a new home for Bella where she can feel safe, loved, and part of a family. 🏡❤️ Bella isn't just looking for a house; she's looking for a family that will love her, care for her, and be there for her through all the stages of her life. We want to find her a responsible and loving home where she can continue to grow and be the special little dog she is. 🐶💕

Story
Lainey came to us from a local farm as a last minute addition and while we agreed this would most likely be temporary with the potential for long term we have realized she needs a more experienced home with Hunting/Prey driven dog experience. She is house trained, recently spayed, amazing with our four children and overall has a very relaxed temperament. She does need to either be kenneled or supervised through out the day as her nose wanders and finds pantry closets, food left or even some taxidermy has fallen victim to her random bouts of boredom. We do believe with the right stimulation, time and patience she would shape up to be an amazing companion as she is only a 1 year old pup! We want to make sure she goes to a fenced home as she is a jumper at the moment but is trained to an invisible fence as well. If you feel you may be the ones to give Lainey the love and attention she needs please do not hesitate to set up a meet and greet. She is looking for her furever home. 🏡

Story
A dear friend's female dog had puppies. I chose the TWO females: JASPE AND ONIX!. These siblings never been separated. They will be sixteen month old on October 16. I am searching a good home for them, a family that can take good care and loves them. They are playful, loving and cute, but, I cannot longer take care of them due to an emergency surgery. I had help with them during post operation, now I am back home but not yet recuperated. I am not giving them away because I do not love them but because I dearly love them and want the best for them. Neither I want for them to be separated. They are vaccinated and each one has her own chip. It's hard for me to do this, I have been giving a lot of thought. Finally I decided it is the best for them and for myself completely recuperation. Thank you and God bless your heart.

Story
757-513-2503We adopted Goji as a puppy from the Norfolk SPCA nine years ago. He was in a litter of seven "berry named" brothers and sisters. He is a wonderfully loyal companion who has traveled to and from Japan and loves going for walks. Unfortunately, we are looking to rehome him because he doesn't get along with our children (5 years and 9 months old).Goji is:• An American Foxhound mix• Housetrained (only one accident as a puppy)• Fine with some dogs, but dislikes poodles and golden retrievers• A loyal companion who loves walksGoji has never lived with another dog and only lived with a cat for a short time as a puppy. He does have some food aggression, which we've found typical for the breed. We would not recommend him for a home with young children. He is due for rabies and flea medication in the next few months.💰 Rehoming fee: $0Includes: Travel kennel, home fold-up kennel, food, treats, and poo bags.

Story
My friend surprised me with a puppy because he got a buy one get one free deal. I have no experience with dogs, and I’m in the military. The demand for my time cuts into the time I would normally need taking care of the puppy. She destroys everything when I’m away so I have to keep her in her cage while I’m away. I take her on frequent walks, and she refuses to potty outside. She’s too much on my hands, and too much money i can’t spend to help her. She would’ve been better off at someone else’s home

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I acquired my sweet pup as a baby, and he is now exactly 1 year old Puggle. Adjectives to describe him: Affectionate, Enthusiastic, Playful, and People-Loving. He is an absolute sweetheart but currently very high-energy (adolescent puppy phase). He loves humans so much that he greets everyone by jumping up and scratching for attention. He is completely non-aggressive, just overly excited. We are heartbreakingly rehoming him because we just welcomed a 5-day-old newborn and are preparing for an urgent international relocation. We no longer have the time he deserves. He is already neutered, fully vaccinated, and microchipped! What we are looking for in his new home:     •    Active owners: Who love daily walks to burn off his puppy energy.     •    No small babies: Because he jumps and scratches when excited, a home without infants is best.     •    Basic training: Someone patient to teach him "Sit" and "Off" instead of jumping. He will make a fun, loyal companion!
