Story
Stewie is one of the most loving dogs I’ve ever met, but unfortunately ever since we started having kids we’ve learned that he’s not a fan. He has some anxiety around strangers and other dogs, and has shown some mild aggression towards our 2 year old daughter. Since those early signs, he’s been through a training camp that he excelled at, but he still hasn’t been able overcome the anxiety of my daughter and dogs he doesn’t know. Our daughter is now 2, so it’s near impossible for to understand that she needs to leave him alone. She’s doing great and tries to gently pet him, but he still occasionally shows mild aggression towards her. Lately we’ve just been keeping them separate; if she’s awake and around, we keep Stewie in our office with me while I work, or he stays in his crate. If they are ever loose together he wears a rubber muzzle which helps him stay mellow, but at this point we worry about his quality of life. He’s so loving and caring with me, my wife, and our adult friends.

Story
Meet Ovo! Ovo is a Yorkie mixed breed, 3.5yrs old and 22 lbs. He was relinquished to us, along with two other dogs, because his owner was unable to keep them. Ovo is a very sweet and loving boy. He gets along with other dogs and loves to be with his human.. A family that works from home would be ideal for him. He is very energetic and loves to play all day long! a family with another active dog would be a plus, or someone who enjoys daily walks and outings. Please note that this doggy will need activity, he is not a couch potato.. He LOVES to run around the park and have fun with other doggies. He is very loving to people, he is confident, fun, extrovert, adventurous, and curious. He must be mixed with a bigger breed as he is 18 pounds, so much larger than the full breed Yorkie. He deserves to have a loving family who will take good care of him for the rest of his life.

Story
Pika's personality can be described as: a cat in a dog's body. He is beautiful but only allows you to pet him on his terms, which is rarely. He grumbles/growls when affection is unwanted and retreats to his crate. He loves laying in the shade. Pika will tolerate dog's in the house but will go after outsiders on/off leash. He takes medication for allergies and she has a collapsing trachea. Pika is potty trained but still needs a belly band indoors to avoid occasional marking. He will do best in a quiet serene setting so not to aggravate his cough by barking. He has lameness in his back legs which cause him to occasionally stumble and fall when walking. For his age, Pika has good pep and will bring cat joy in dog form for many more years. ##1781400##

Story
Meet this darling Yorkshire Terrier named Willow (aka Leela)! She is so affectionate and loves to give kisses. She also loves to sit in your lap. Willow had to have her eye removed and has very limited vision in the other eye, generally speaking she is considered a blind dog. Although, she only had 8 teeth removed she was already missing well over 20 others which if you do the math it doesn't leave a whole lotta teeth left. She needs a calm home where she would be safe. She does like to run around and is a happy little girl! Willow is about 10 years old and about 8 pounds. If you are a Yorkie lover then get your applications in ASAP.

Story
This is Wicket (yes, like the Ewok)! He is guessed to be around 9-10 years old and just the sweetest dog ever! He absolutely loves his humans and is friendly with all other animals… big and little dogs, cats, small rodents, etc.! When I say friendly he wags his tail and loves to greet and follow around… not a lot of ‘play’ but loves other animals for company :) He really enjoys his walks and needs a home where 1-2 walks a day for at least 20 min each are the norm… smelling is his jam :) He loves to go anywhere and everywhere with us… enjoys car rides, hanging at the beach, riding in the basket on my bike, etc. :) Wicket is a sensitive soul… he doesn’t like change and likes a consistent routine. He is a ‘silent stressor’. His tummy gets easily upset with any changes and he is on a special diet with some probiotics and takes Pepcid about 30 min prior to any meals. But, when on a good routine with a predictable day and food he does really well! He also stresses when he sees people ‘leave’. He struggled the first few days he was with us with loud howling and barking, but now he is fine when we are at work (we have cameras so we check in on him)… but we never let him see us leave, have the TV on, and we never leave him more than 6 hours! Wickett has a little hitch in his get along so stairs can be a challenge and he needs a little assist to get on furniture for snuggle time. He definitely takes a little TLC with meal prep and when leaving, but other than that he is just an adorable, loving, sweet dog and is ready for his furever family:)
