Story
I got Denny as a puppy for my mom when I was moving out of town for college 9 years ago. I was her only child so me moving out was going to be a big adjustment for her and she had always wanted a dog ever since she was a little girl. The person I got Denny from told me he was a purebred pug but when he grew out of his puppy years, it's clear hes got a bit of something else in there. He's an energetic boy, always eager to play and loves going on walks and runs. My mom ending up passing away last summer and Denny has been staying at my place. Between my busy schecdule of working the night shift at a hospital, being enrolled full time in school, and my roommate being allergic I am in need of a new home for Denny.

Story
Baxter has been with our family for years. He is goofy, loves to cuddle, and lovable. We had a baby a year ago who has become increasingly mobile, and Baxter unfortunately has developed diabetes within that year. While we love him, has become frequently incontinent in the house, which is quite a challenge with a mobile one year old. In addition, he has become blind due to his diabetes leading to him needing some extra safety measures. Baxter will need to be with someone that has patience to care for his diabetes and incontinence throughout the day and willing to do what it takes to help him manage it. He receives special food for his diabetes and receives insulin twice per day, every 12 hours. We will send whatever we have left with him.

Story
Kirby: Sweet, Cuddly English Bulldog Looking for Loving Home This has been a very difficult decision for our family, but due to the arrival of a new baby, we need to find Kirby a home where she can get the attention she deserves. Kirby is a very sweet English Bulldog who absolutely loves people and is the ultimate cuddle companion. She enjoys sleeping in bed with her humans and spending her days lounging nearby or snoozing on her dog bed. She has a typical bulldog energy level, mostly low to medium with occasional playful zoomies. She also enjoys her toys and relaxing around the house. Kirby is used to regular bulldog care, including cleaning her wrinkles, belly, feet, and tail area every 1–2 days using wipes, along with routine vet care. Kirby would do best as the only pet in the home and would thrive with someone who has experience with English Bulldogs. A home without children or other pets is recommended so she can enjoy being the center of attention. She is a loving pup.
