Story
My sisters dog, she fell to the streets and i cant keep him but I do what I can for now and feel really bad for having him like this. Looking for a new nice home, he isnt trained. He mainly stays outside. He knows some commands like sit and paw but he has so much energy he gets out of control and runs and jumps. He about 3-4 years old, so a baby still. I would describe him as very energetic. Hes for free, he even has a big cage and house im willing to give for free. And I can take him to you as well.

Story
Very sweet girl. Had been dumped. Found by a guy who didn't have the time for her. I brought her in to balance out the pack. She loves playing with the big dog but didn't behave well around my senior little dogs (6 and 10lbs). I would keep her if not for that. She fit in well in every other way. Despite being less than 2 years old, she understood the need to not jump around by my elderly mother who is a fall risk. She loves toys and snuggling. Feet are her favorite pillows when napping. Rarely barks but will rumble talk when happy.

Story
A schnoodle that I adopted from a shelter in Dec 2017, according to the vet he was about 2 years old (at least). He was a great dog for a while but over the last few years has developed severe anxiety. Nothing is working and I dont know what to do with him anymore. Certain noises, or being confined, or too many people will send him into severe anxiety. Sometimes I dont even know the reason and he tries to dig through the floor, shake uncontrollably, etc. He even tries to run away, twice was successful but I got him back. I need to find a calm loving home for him. We live in Phelan - please let me know who can help, I dont want to turn him into a shelter but I cannot handle him any longer and unfortunately my schedule has changed and Im not at home as much as I once was, that also seems to add to his behavior. He does not potty in the house thankfully. My granddaughter will be sad as she loves him so much but I work and he is miserable most times now, not just once in a while
