Story
Luna's Story Luna came into rescue at only five weeks old — far too young to already be afraid of the world. We may never know exactly what happened in those first few weeks, but whatever it was left her cautious and unsure. Luna is the kind of pup many might pass by — quiet, shy, waiting for someone patient enough to see the sweetness behind her wary eyes. What she wants most is a gentle hand and a kind heart. Once she feels safe and you softly call her name, her whole face lights up, and her little tail begins to wag. Luna adopter must have a yard. Underneath her shyness is a tender soul just waiting for the right person to show her that the world can be kind.

Story
I adopted him at the humane society. Bubbles is 8 years old. I am looking for him to have a yard that he can run around and to have a few doggy friends. He is very patient and sweet, loves people and attention. He does need a pee pad to go in the home. He used to mark everywhere but he now knows after being trained to do on a pee pad. I can't provide him the life he needs, he deserves everything after his previous owners who did not take care of him well. He requires grooming just a simple bath and a de-shed every 4-6 weeks. I am a dog groomer and I would groom him myself and if possible I'd like to keep being his groomer. He has a condition named collapsed trachea. He will cough when he pulls too much on his harness. It's important that he does not use a collar which can cause his trachea to get worse.
