Story

Nala has come to be with us by way of my sister. Nala was 8 weeks when she was left to my sister from her friend. Unfortunately my sister is disabled with the use of only one leg and cannot care for Nala the way she needs. Our home has multiple small dogs that are not compatible with Nala's breed. In the few days I have come to know Nala she has been such a good dog.There is nothing more I would like than for her to find a loving and caring home. Nala is 1yr and 6 months, very gentle and just longs to be loved.

Story

Over all Ralfie is a good dog, unfortunately at this point in our lives it is harder to have the time to take care of and give him the best possible life he deserves. Ralfie is 5 years old and a loving and loyal companion with a timid yet protective nature. He is a vigilant guardian of the house, always alert to the sound of the doorbell or a knock. Despite his cautious demeanor, he is friendly with people and most dogs. Potty-trained and obedient, he listens to commands well, though he has a hint of anxiety and some suspected allergies. He shines on walks and bike rides, enjoying the activity while keeping to himself. A wonderful mix of affection and independence and lots of energy, he is the perfect balance of love and loyalty.

Story

This guy snores, cuddles in bed and is just chill. Sleeps during the day and plays at night... that's because I work so much. He is resource aggressive with bones ONLY. Good with food and water. He is good with baths. Love his babies and soft ball. Loves squishy toys and tug of war. He's solid. 66 lbs. Went to vet to get the rest of his shots because I'm supposed to travel for work. I would rather find him a home where his parent(s) can be home with him. He doesn't like to walk a lot. He is just a potty and go home. He does have a doggy stroller. That's for me so i can go on a longer walk. He is super friendly. Gets along with other dogs. He gives me attitude. We can talk about that. Tell me about yourself. Looking for the perfect parent.

Story

Meet Biggie ❤️Biggie is a 6-year-old English Bulldog looking for his forever home. This has been an incredibly difficult decision, so I’m not looking for just any home—I want the right one. Biggie is great with people and kids. He may bark when meeting new dogs, but with proper introductions he’s friendly and does well with them. He recently had tail surgery and is recovering well. He has allergies and a few manageable health needs, so he would thrive with someone who understands the breed and can give him the time, attention, and care he deserves. He will remain with me until the perfect home is found, so there is no rush. If you have English Bulldog experience or are committed to providing a loving, permanent home, please reach out. Serious inquiries only—his well-being is my top priority.
