Story
Oz is around 2 and a half years old, he was born 08/23/23. He is very friendly and loves people, does great with cats but doesn’t get along with the other dog in the home. He is not aggressive but would do best as an only dog. He is very energetic and smart. He needs someone who can give him a lot of exercise or has space for him to run. He is very playful and goofy. He is house trained and crate trained and knows basic commands (sit, down, wait, come, and go). Due to his energy level I do not recommend he be around small kids. with him, you would get essentials, including his kennel, leash, and toys.

Story
Meet bella. 10 year old chocolate lab born october of 2015. Loves walks, but does pull. Will run off if she is off the leash. Needs a fenced yard. No other pets in the home please or small kids. Shes a very anxious girly. Shes skinny but in good health, just old. Hubby has had her since she was a little baby. Bella would do best in a home with someone whos always home & can provide her with the attention she deserves. She is a sweet heart. My hubby was recently diagnosed a few weeks ago with cancer and has been sick since october and with treatment and how ill he is, he can no longer care for her. If you know someone or can point me in the right direction that would be lovely. He is heart broken over this decision but he simply cant physically care for her. I've already contacted several rescues as well. Thank you

I don’t have a ton of pictures of them. But they all look pretty similar, they’re almost 12 weeks old. There are 5 females and 3 males. They are pretty small still but will most likely get to medium sized; around 45-60 lbs max.

Story
Rudy is a great dog. She is great with kids and raised around small dogs and cats. Rudy is an escape artist but not; you’re typical escape artist, she does not know stranger danger. Anyone with an opened door, she will let herself in. Rudy is food territorial, she is kennel trained and prefers laying in her kennel with a cushion bed. Rudy has hip mobility barriers and will affect her later on in life. She is goofy, great personality. Rehoming because she needs a safe environment. I work so much and now will be traveling heavily and my husband cant chase her when Im gone. She is technically my dog and I need to do the right thing and allow a home who can adopt her and take care of her but can give the quality of life she deserves. I also have the ability to finance her food monthly and yearly vet appointments will be taken care of. I’m not rehomimg from financial issues. Need a home that has the time for her.
