Story
We made Juice part of our family when he was four weeks old. We got him off a friend. He will be 2 years old this September 2024. Juice is super energetic, but also lazy. He likes other dogs. He does well with my 14 and 11 year old. He seems to do well with my 8 month old, but I always supervise closely as a precaution. He does get occasional zoomies. He’s crate trained and will only go potty outside. He tends to be a quiet dog unless someone he doesn’t know is at the door. He is a bit vocal at times if he needs to go potty or if he’s hungry. He’s a big, strong dog. He likes being petted and will push his paws against ur hand if he wants you to continue petting him. We now live in an apartment and have really busy schedules due to some changes that doesn’t allow us to give him the attention he deserves. I hope to help find Juice a family that will love, cherish him, and give him the attention he deserves. I just want Juice to be happy.

This lovely girl is searching for a special person, someone with patience and understanding to help boost her confidence. Although Addie can be timid at first, we've seen her warm up to her caregivers, enjoy gentle petting, and gives kisses!

We also have learned that she can get anxious when alone and would thrive in a home where people are home often to dote on her and give her attention! She has a mixed history with other dogs, so if you have another dog at home, please bring them along for a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility. A serene and peaceful setting would be the perfect backdrop for her to grow and flourish! Addie is ready to capture your heart, so don't miss the chance to meet this charming beauty queen.

hi! This is our beautiful girl, Ellie. Ellie is so sweet, she is currently 6 months old. She is adventurous, she is a fast learner, gentle, cuddly, loves attention and loves to go on walks. She loves toys, treats and loves to play. We are unable to keep her, and we are sad to see her go, we would love for her to go to a loving family, someone who can give her the same love and attention we provide her. She is the last pup of an accidental litter. Ms. Ellie is scheduled to be spayed soon and we will continue to work on socializing her and we are currently house training, but she does know basic commands.
