Story
Please HELP, I need to rehome ASAP, Belle has been my baby for 15 years and has been an absolute joy I got her at about 6weeks of age and is now 15 years young, she is incredibly protective and full of spunk and energy on walks to the beach, she also loves a nice lap to call her own, she is very curious but never caused issues inside or out of the home, not a digger nor destructive in anyway, she prefers quiet spaces and calm environments loves her cathouse bed and enjoys long naps in the sun, all shots and licensing are current and an older couple would be ideal, I have NEVER left her over night alone she is house trained, puppy pad trained and uses her doggie door regularly to do her thing! And has eaten the same food for about 13 years consecutively a good water drinker and likes her treats. I only want her to spend her remaining years as the princess that she is, thank you for considering this jewel and for reading my post.

Story
Ollie is a 2 year old golden retriever. He is house trained and potty trained. He needs someone with experience with high energy levels, preferrably a big yard or open space for him to run. He is sweet and loving, but his high energy is tough to keep up with as he always needs to keep his mind stimulated. He is sometimes reactive towards dogs on walks but most times that’s due to him wanting to play. He is a young pup so constant training is paramount—He is very food motivated.

Story
Looking for a new home for my sweet 6 year old pitbull Bella as I don’t think I can take care of her anymore. She absolutely loves people and just wants to hang out and get attention and affection. She is half def and blind. This is a result of poor breeding practices and she is known as a Double Merle. The condition also leaves her with almost no pigment and she appears almost albino. Most of this doesn’t affect her too much, she might just bonk into something once in awhile as her vision isn’t great. She does not do well around other animals, so ideally she would be the only dog in the home. She doesn’t bark unless other dogs get her going. She just wants love and affection like most dogs. If you have any additional questions please let me know.

Story
Keara is a retired police service dog that has a couple good years left. I can no longer give her the life she deserves. She is very friendly and good with kids and other dogs. She is elderly and moves slow. Her eyesight is getting worse and has difficulty seeing at night, but can still see during the day. Hoping to find her forever home.

Koda

American Eskimo Dog Pomeranian

Male, Young

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story
Koda is a 2 year old Pomimo (American Eskimo & Pomeranian). He is energetic when it comes to going on walks and he likes to play tug with rope toys. After he plays, he will gladly cuddle and chill. He loves to sleep and hangout. He is very smart and knows several commands (sit, paw/shake, down, rollover, and stay). He is also learning others such as spin and heel. He loves to sniff and when out on walks or at the dog park, he will spend much of his time sniffing. Koda came from a shelter, and we think he has separation anxiety. He is very uneasy when he is alone. Lately he has started to exhibit signs of reactivity on his leash, and this might be due to his stress from being alone longer than he prefers. I think Koda would thrive in an environment with another dog or a person who is home more often. To be honest, I am germaphobic, and was naive about what life with a dog would be like. I'm hoping Koda can find a new home where he can be a dog and feel safe and secure.
