Story
June is a gentle senior girl with the kindest eyes and the softest heart. She knows simple commands like “sit” and “paw,” and walks nicely on leash, but what truly makes June special is her calm, loving soul. She leans in quietly for affection and seems happiest just being near someone who cares. At this stage in her life, June isn’t looking for adventure or chaos. She’s simply hoping for a peaceful home and a loving person to spend her golden years with. After everything she’s been through, she deserves a warm bed, gentle walks, and someone who will cherish her for the wonderful dog she is. June is ready to give her whole heart to someone willing to give her the comfort and love she deserves for the rest of her days. 🐾

He loves people and kids! 💜🥰 💪 He's strong as an ox – if you’re not prepared, he’ll happily “walk” you instead. (He is royalty after all.)

Story
He is truly the sweetest dog. He is incredibly intelligent and likes to "talk". He loves playing but his favorite thing to do is to "bake" in the sun on a hot summer day. He is good with female dogs and potentially neutered male dogs. He is friendly and does fine at the vet. He knows basic commands, sit, come, drop it, leave it, back up, etc. He is crate trained but hasn't been in one for over a year as he is just too big for a standard crate. He is house trained and leash trained. We are deeply saddened to see him go to a new home, but unfortunately we are just not the right home for him. At this time we are waiting for a spot at our local shelter to open up as we have been unable to find him a suitable home and the rescues I have reached out to have not responded to any messages.

Story
Atlas was born in July of 2024, we picked him up from a reputable breeder and he is AKC registered as a pure bread Great Dane with both a Merle and harlequin coat. He loves people, is very talkative, likes going on walks and kills beetles for us. He would love to be a lap dog, but will not get on furniture without permission. He's great with our kids and is not aggressive towards any other animals (he does get excited but never mean). We feed him salmon and potato dog food from Sam's Club. He's allergic to something that we havent quite pin pointed, but what he eats now does not trigger his allergies. He's crate trained (XXL crate included if you want) nd potty trained. He can sit and shake. He is also very easy to walk with a gentle leader. He's a good watch dog- he'll bark but only 2-3x. Honestly, he is a very good boy and it kills me to rehome him. He deserves a good life.
