Story
Levi is a great dog, I am not rehoming him because of behavioral or aggression reasons. He is great with kids, he currently lives in a house with 3 kids and 1 dog. He knows a lot of commands and tricks. He loves kisses and cuddles. I got him when he was 8 weeks old from a breeder, he is now 5 years old. He needs an owner that can take him outside to play fetch and run, or even just a backyard to play in. He is a good family dog and would love children. He will get very attached to you and follow you around the house so that he can be near you. He doesn’t like to be left alone for too long, he may bark for a little when left. He is crate trained.

Story
Loki is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met. He is great with kids and babies, loves other dogs, and goes to doggy daycare 2 to 3 times a week. He is very social, gentle, and thrives on attention and affection.This is a hard decision for our family, but due to a new job, we no longer have the time he deserves. Loki is a high energy dog who needs regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy.He would do best in an active home, especially with kids or other dogs. He is affectionate, playful, and loves being part of the family. He can be a little mouthy at times, but we have been working on this through training and have seen improvement.We have not had him around cats. He is up to date on all shots, microchipped, and regularly groomed.There is a $50 adoption fee to ensure he goes to a loving, committed home. He truly deserves the very best!

Story
Sam 6 years old, beautiful and gentle German Shepherd who is looking for her forever home! Sam is a loving companion who thrives on the affection of her family. Although she may take a little time to warm up to new people, once she does. she shows her sweet and loving nature. Sam is incredibly gentle, especially with children. She has a calm demeanor and never bites. Sam has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), which requires her to take daily medication with her meals. We just sprinkle her medicine on her food,Despite this condition. she is in good health and full of energy! Her ideal home would be with someone who understands her special dietary needs and can ensure she gets the right nutrition. Sam needs a home where she can get regular exercise and playtime to keep her happy and healthy. A family that can give her the time she needs to adjust and feel comfortable in her new environment. Sam’s ideal home would be one without small animals, as she may not be compatible with them.
