Story
Trooper is a smart, loyal boy who truly loves his people and his pack. Inside the home, he is mellow and easygoing, but once outdoors, his playful, energetic side shines. He is a big fan of fetch, tug‑of‑war, daily walks, and backyard playtime. Chew toys and bones are also high on his list of favorite things.Trooper would thrive in a home with a yard and plenty of companionship and patience; another friendly pet or someone who works from home or is retired would be ideal. He knows basic commands like sit and stay, is fully potty‑trained, and walks well on‑leash.He was not well socialized when he was younger, so he can be nervous around unfamiliar dogs. With patience and positive experiences, he can continue building confidence. Trooper is partially crate-trained and does have separation anxiety, so he needs an adopter willing to help him work through that with gentle structure and consistency.He is healthy, up‑to‑date on vaccinations, and ready for a loving home.

Story
Roxy is a good dog, she is a cuddle bug. No food aggression, LOVES other dogs (would do great in a home with other dogs), very treat motivated (and so cute that she is a bit overweight due to treats), loves to travel in the car and explore new places (as seen in the Tahoe photo), she is house trained just needs to know what door . Roxy does not love men, especially tall men, they make her nervous and anxious and she may become depressed and not eat in that state so she is not suitable for a single man. Roxy doesn’t know what to do with young children, she doesn’t bite but she barks and they again, make her nervous. Her dream home would be with a single traveling woman who has at least one other dog, but she can be happy in other homes as well! Roxy is loved, this decision was extremely difficult but it’s what best for Roxy in the end. As new parents we have become overwhelmed and burnt out, we don’t have the ability to give her everything she wants and needs. We are in no rush for this

Story
This is a very smart, very trainable, cuddly dog. He is my first dog, and I’m realizing I’m not a dog person. I want him to have a human that he is close with. He doesn’t have separation anxiety or tear the house up. He doesn’t even dig through the trash if I leave it out. He is a little shy at first, but he warms up and enjoys visitors. He LOVES the beach and dog parks. He jumps right in the car without any prompting, but he will whine a bit once you start driving. That has been improving, though. Please ask anything you want to know.

Story
Hello this is Zero! He’s 5 years old, born 10/29/2021. Me and my family are currently living in an apartment and usually always out working/in school. It’s a really hard decision but I think if zero had a home with a yard and great family who will train/treat him properly his life would be much more fulfilling. He’s a silly dog who loves dogs but isn’t very social. He’s not very kind to people if they approach too close. It may be a boundary issue. He loves walks and smelling everything. Be aware he will eat any food on the ground. At home he is pretty good except when in the kitchen, definitely will snatch snacks/food. He loves to tear up toys and bones. He was trained to pee on a pee pad anytime inside when we aren’t available. We do have a hard time when clipping nails some aggression over that. Overall he is a nice pet just needs much more love and attention! I got zero from a friend for free in high school so I will cherish our last 5 years forever.
