Story
Ember is roughly 9-10 years old, we rescued her from our local vet shelter when she was estimated to be between 4-5 years old. Loves to bask in the sun and loves the wind on windy days. Unfortunately we no longer have the time to take care of her the way she deserves, we have a 15 month old and a new baby on the way. She deserves a family that will spoil her with love better than we can. Loves walks, is leash trained. Loves bell pepper scraps when I cook.

Story
Kona showed up at our house on a hot August day. We took her in with hopes of finding her owner as we did with previous found dogs. We took her in to see if she was microchipped but unfortunately she was not. She’s a sweet girl with lots of love to give, she does well with kids, other dogs and cats. I wish I could keep her but with our existing dog and our children it makes it impossible to keep her or I would. Please consider adopting her, she deserves a home with someone that can give her the attention she deserves. ‼️‼️‼️Please note I’m unsure if Kona is spayed, since I’m not her original owner. ‼️‼️‼️ Adoption fee will be donated to animal shelter or animal charity of your choice.
