Story
Jackson is about 17 months old. he was given to my kids as a bday gift in Texas. We have since relocated to Washington state and was unable to find a new home for Jackson. Myself and kids are unable to care for him at this time given life has gotten busy and we are renting and can no longer afford to have him. Jackson is very playful and loves to run and play catch with the ball. Jackson has some crate training but is very smart and tends to do his own thing. I feel he can be redirected and trained if given to someone who has the time and patience with him. In all just looking for a good home where he will continue to receive love and attention.

Story
Wallace is a German Shepherd mix with a big personality. He's a very smart boy and knows all of the basic commands and some fun extra commands. He loves to learn new tricks! He loves when people come over and picks up his favorite toy to show and tell. I went from living on 3 acres to a small apartment after a divorce and being laid off unexpectedly the financial strain along with wanting to give him the best life possible has led me to pursue options. It breaks my heart but if I can find him a home that will give him space to run around and be more free than he is now, it will be the best for him. Behavior: he was a rescue, adopted at 9 mo old in 2020 and he was clearly abused and traumatized. He is highly dog reactive and although he lived with a dog in his foster home so he has done ok with some dogs but it's not recommended. Health: He has an eye disease (panus) and takes eye drops regularly On fluoxetine for anxiety He has gut flare ups and is on a prescription diet

A rescue in Chapala Mx has decided to close. Leaving the 79 dogs currently in care no definite outcome. We are trying to help save as many dogs as possible.

Please share his story in hopes he finds his happy ending. Julio is a very handsome shepherd with ears that pick up satellite signals with ease! Julio is playful, loyal and loving. Julio's intelligence is evident in the way he carries himself in a most shepherd like manner. He will be a great companion for that special someone!

Story
Kimchi loves people, kibble, and toys and is very smart and loves to train. Kimchi is 4 months old crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and is well on her way to being potty trained. She gets along with her foster brothers but does have a little bit of resource guarding. This has gotten much better since settling into her foster home and her new family will need to continue to separate her from any other dogs for meals. If you are looking for a sassy sweet shepherd, Kimchi will definitely brighten your day!

Story
Winry is 7 years old, very chill and fully grown. We previously lived in a rural area with lots of space and other animals, she loved to be outside but we had to move to a bigger city for work. Between a new baby, small apartment, 2 full time working parents, and an unrelated leg injury, it's been difficult to give her the attention we wish we could give her. She's very low maintenance. She is good around kids, very chill, and walks well on a leash without any pulling. She gets along with other dogs and is very cuddly with people. She has never caused any damage to house or objects in house during absence and is fully potty trained. We can include: toys, food and water bowls, food storage container, leash, collar, pet car seat cover, brush, dog nail clippers, and poop bags
