Story
Sweet Poppy is still very young (about two years) and full of energy! She has some basic training but definitely needs someone who has time to work more with her. She's very "paws on" which can get a bit sore. She was adopted from a local rescue and originated in Mexico. She has some trauma with tall men and men with baseball hats so I don't advise dog parks (those are bad news anyways!). She is the sweetest girl and she loves hard and can be a bit protective of her owners! She won't hurt anyone but she will stand and guard her person. She wants lots of attention and needs to be properly worn out. She LOVES toys and will play fetch and tug of war for hours. She's used to having full day in/out privileges via an open slider door. My husband and I are divorcing and he isn't home very much; he leaves her alone a LOT and it's breaking my heart. I'm not allowed to have her at my current rental and I'm also starting a job with 12+ hour shifts.

Story
Jenny is friendly, playful and energetic but is just as happy chilling on her bed by you wherever you are. She would more than love to curl up on the couch with you too, if you let her. Adventures and car rides are easy, some “head out the window” time, some snoozing time and if you go in the store for a minute, she’ll be standing up waiting for you to get back. Even when we go get groceries, she pays no mind to nice folks that load up our loot. This girl is also very smart, looks for approval, has fallen in with routines well and learned, or is relearning, obedience quickly! We’ve been working on her excitement to run through the door before you and she has learned quickly to wait and look for the ok. Her adopter or foster must be diligent to keep her safe from getting out open doors or gates and into mischief about own. She does have a ‘lil rap sheet with the county so that has to be accounted for. She is fine in the house alone, not destructive at all. She just snoozes or looks out the window when she hears noises. She loves to play and run and is super-fast in zoomie mode! She is agile as well and a great jumper! Her toy play knowledge is minimal so she can be taught lots of good play habits. She has not shown any food, toy or treat guarding towards humans but is untested with other dogs so far. She is treat motivated but once she learns the command she’s just as happy with affection reward alone. When she knows she’s a good girl she wiggles all over. Martini is housebroken. She is good during a bath and likes to be brushed too. On walks she’s fairly non-reactive to dogs, squirrels etc. but inside she is much more attentive and will give chase to small furry friends and bearded dragons for sure. No to cats. She would be fine with an older child but her wiggles and size would be too much for small kids. She is about 4.5 years old, 70 lbs., spayed, brindle with a white diamond on her back. It’s so fitting. Her physique is stunning now that she is eating well and has filled in, gorgeous girl!

Story
Boxer Mix Spayed Female 7 years 40 pounds Bunnie is a sweet and snuggly boxer mix on the hunt for her forever home. She enjoys spending her days playing, sleeping with her favorite fuzzy blanket, and getting the zoomies. A lover of all things people, she is bound to make friends wherever she goes, but she would prefer to get all of the attention to her self, and would thrive as the only pet in the home. Bunnie is potty trained and does well in apartment living, but would be happiest in a home with a yard.
