Story
Aurora is about 10 years old. She is a gentle giant but stubborn. She is very loving and has never had any behavioral issues. That being said she very much fits her breed with independence and stubbornness. She has no known health issues and would likely do best in a home without other dogs. she currently is bonded well with another dog but has not been tested much in the presence of other dogs.

Story
Have had Khaleesi since she was a small puppy. She’s had a wonderful 10 years with us. After having our first child, Khaleesi unfortunately became less and less the number one priority. Our son has terrible allergies and skin issues, which we have dealt with for the past 4 years. At this point it’s becoming too much for our son. This is the reason for our rehoming. We love her to death but our son’s health needs to come first.

Story
🐾 Meet Dakota! 🐾 Dakota is a stunning all-black beauty who will stop you in your tracks with her sleek coat and soulful eyes. Born in early July 2025, she’s still just a puppy, which means she’s full of curiosity, playfulness, and a little mischief. Dakota has recently been returned to our rescue in April of 2026. Her surrendering family says: Kona is a sweet and affectionate dog who loves attention and being around people. She has a lot of energy and would do best in a home where she can get plenty of exercise, structure, and consistent training. She may do best with someone experienced with dogs or in a home that can give her the time and space she needs to thrive. Kona would make a great companion in the right environment where her needs can be fully met. She was surrendered back to us for being "destructive in the home" and causing damage to the home that they no longer can afford to keep fixing. She does well with: Children, Men, Women, Dogs This pet is: Potty Trained, Crate Trained, Knows Basic Commands She’s good with kids, cats, and dogs, making her the perfect addition to just about any family.
