Story
Buddy was my late sister’s dog. She passed a year and a half ago. Then my dad took custody of him and my dad passed a few months ago. I was the only one left, but we are just too busy to give buddy the life he deserves. I am a single mom, my twins are seniors this year and they will be off to college next. I also take care of my mom. I have a very full plate. He is a laid back dog, will always alert you when someone is at the door. I have no yard, no where for him to play. He is depressed. And I can’t help him right now.

Story
Meet Pepper – Chow Chow Looking for a New HomePepper is a 2-year-old Chow Chow who is looking for a new home due to a change in our family's circumstances. We adopted her before having children, and one of our children has developed an allergy to her.Pepper is potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained. She knows basic commands including sit, down, kennel, and come. She does well with children of all ages.Pepper loves spending time outdoors and would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard. She would also do best as the only dog in the home. She can interact appropriately with other dogs in neutral locations but can be territorial with other dogs in her home.We care deeply about finding Pepper the right home and are asking a reasonable rehoming fee of $150 to help ensure serious inquiries.Located in Tacoma, WA.

Story
Bruno is 5 yrs old.. he will be 6 in October. He loves to cuddle and get attention. Bruno also loves the outdoors. You can’t keep him away from balls and anything you choose to fetch with. He does best in a yard but has lots of experience in an apartment. He is fully crate trained and potty trained as well. Bruno loves veggies, especially when they are mixed in his food, he considers them a treat. Bruno is a little shy but as soon as you start to play fetch with him, he warms up. Bruno deserves a loving family that is going to continue to love and treat him like a family member. Bruno will be massively missed in my home!!

Story
Meet Zeek, a stoic, easygoing boy who shows his love in his own quiet way. He might come across as a bit of an introvert at first, but when he's ready for attention, he'll let you know, walking right over to you and placing his head in your lap. His favorite way to spend time is simply lounging next to his person, just being together without any fuss!
