Story
Meet Summer`s favorite four-legged pal, Billy! Billy is a lovable and energetic dog who can`t get enough of playing in the kiddie pool with his best friend Summer. With his wet fur and wagging tail, he loves nothing more than splashing around and cooling off on hot summer days. But there`s more to Billy than just his love for water. He`s a well-behaved pup who walks nicely on a leash and enjoys going on long walks with his human companions. And when it`s time to hit the road, Billy is always up for a car ride, content to sit in the backseat and enjoy the scenery. What really sets Billy apart, though, is his desire to please. He`s a smart pup who loves to learn new tricks and commands, always eager to show off his skills to anyone who will watch. Whether he`s fetching a ball, shaking a paw, or rolling over, Billy is always willing to give it his all. All in all, Billy is the kind of dog that everyone wants as a companion. With his playful nature, good behavior, and constant desire to please, he`s sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone lucky enough to spend time with him.

Story
Scout is an incredibly intelligent, beautiful and loving dog. She is loyal and makes an excellent companion for car rides, long runs, and couch snuggles. Unfortunately, Scout does have extreme reactivity to other dogs that has not resolved despite our best efforts and training. We have a baby and have been professionally advised that under no circumstances should we have her around our baby. We are heart broken and making every effort we can to save Scout’s life while also protecting our family. We rescued Scout two years ago when she was ~1 year old. We had no history as her previous owner passed away. She was underweight, had hookworms and had not been spayed. We got her healthy and put her through training. She learns very quickly! She knows many commands, including sit, lay down, stay, up/down, off, paw (shake), back up, leave it, and more. Scout would make an excellent pet for anyone with a yard and no other animals. She has proven to play well w/ older children.

Story
Would you like a giant, furry friend who is content to warm your spot on the couch when you are away and then let you know that you are the most amazing and special person in the world when you come home? While not a guard dog, as Bob makes friends with strangers quite easily, he does have a big, intimidating presence that is just enough to keep any shady riff raff out. What would Bob like from you in exchange for keeping your spot warm, adoring you on a daily basis and keeping the peace in your home and yard? Well, he likes to chase a ball around the yard. He likes having a stuffed animal to carry around. He really likes being with you as much as you'll let him and of course some good quality food, keeping up on his vet checks and a nice soft bed (a spot on yours is even better in his book, but he'll happily stay on his own if you prefer). Bob is really just a great dog that recently suffered the loss of his family. We're trying to help Bob put his world back together. Let us know if you want to meet this big, lovable lug.

Story
Sadie is an awesome dog! She is an energetic and sweet 8 month old Belgian Malinios Mix pup. She loves to play tug of war, catch, and loves the water. Sadie is already crate trained, housebroken, and is not a barker! She loves walks, the dog park and trips to the beach. Her breed is a working dog so she loves exercise and mental stimulation daily. She is best suited for an active individual or family. She is good with children and cats; she is currently housed with 2 kids ages 9 and 12, and our old cat puts up with her curious and playful nature. She has had some professional training and is familiar with basic commands such as sit, stay, heel, down, roll over, leave it etc. She is spayed and up to date on all of her vaccinations. Sadie is a very smart girl and her eagerness to please, treat motivation, and love for all humans make her an exceptional companion and addition to your home.
