Balls and rolling toys are her favorite!! A home with another dog is preferred. **We are unable to respond to inquiries on Adopt-A-Pet.

Story
Paulo is a nervous dog at first, but once he warms up to you, he becomes a very goofy and silly dog he was raised in the pandemic so he has a little experience with outside people. He’s a good dog, but really anxious. It breaks my heart to get rid of him, but I am moving away and I can’t take them with me. I’m hoping someone would give them a chance for a new home.

Story
Zeus is 6 years old. His owner had passed away and I inherited him. I was able to keep him until I had medical issues and several surgeries. I found what I thought was a loving home. Zeus has grain allergies. He was not fed grain free food nor bathed regularly which is what he needs for his allergies. The owner stopped being home and Zeus is house trained will not go inside and would have to hold his needs for many hours. I recently found all this out, unfortunately I travel for my job now and cannot take him. The current owner stated if a home cannot be found ASAP he will have him put down. Zeus is in desperate need of an immediate LOVING home. He will require frequent baths and grain free food to recover his skin issues. He loves sleeping with blankets, he is not a floor dog. He has been treated like a child until recently and he does not deserve to be put down. He is not crate trained. He know some commands, paw is his best one. He sits but not for long. Very sweet.
