Story
Early 2021, we found a posting about the most adorable fluffy puppies for sale. Oakley was the only one left and we took him home with us. He is a very spirited companion that loves playing fetch and running his little heart out. We had no intentions of ever rehoming one of our dogs, but our situation changed. Our schedules changed, but Oakley has always had anxiety around children and now we have a new growing infant. Oakley needs a home with no small children. Oakley is generally a sweetheart. He loves playing outside, chewing on toys, and receiving some of the attention. He is kennel and house trained. He runs the other direction when a vacuum, broom, or potential car ride is involved.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bailey came into our lives in 2020. She is a sweetheart that loves giving all the kisses and receiving belly rubs and cuddles. She is great with kids but doesn’t realize how big she is sometimes. She loves playing fetch/keep away. Bailey needs a home that can give her the attention she deserves. We’re away from the house nearly 12hrs of the day and have family outings on the weekend. She has our other dog to keep her company but we’re rehoming him for other unrelated reasons. She is kennel and house trained. Despises anything that cleans and car rides!

Story
Cassie has been in the family for 12 years. She was purchased for my husband as a companion dog. With our declining health, we are no longer to take care of her. Our children have pets of their own and are not in a position to take her on to their home. She is a sweet lady and still spry! Anyone would be blessed to have her part of their family. We pray she goes to a loving home that will care for her in her golden years and live on her. Please adopt our sweet lady Cassie!

Beautiful sweet lady. She was purchased as a companion dog for my husband but our health has been declining, so we are no longer able to take care of her. My husband has been transferred to a nursing home and I have moved in with my children. Cassie is still spry and would make a wonderful addition to a lovely family!
