We also adopted Blue from a previous owner, but there has been a drastic change in our schedule, so we no longer have time for him. Blue loves being with his owner all the time.

Story
Lola enjoys meeting new people and is generous with her affection. She is a Bulldog mix and is approximately 7 years old. She needs lifelong medication for her chronic dry eye and environmental allergies, both of which are under good control with her current regimen. She recently had to have her right eye removed but has healed well from the surgery. She is current on all vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. She is house-trained and crate-trained. She would love a new home where she can get the attention and affection she so enjoys. She should be placed as an only dog, as she does not get along with other dogs.

Story
Keone (key-oh-knee) his DOB is 12/12/2011, he will be 13 years old this December. I adopted him from a friend when he was 8 weeks old. His mom was a pure bred Yorkie and his dad was a little black Chihuahua. Keone loves going on walks, but does not require them. He is house trained and has never ran away. He is obedient, will come to you and can be silenced when you say his name to correct him. He is very low maintenance, he just needs a haircut a few times a year. He loves playing catch and tug of war, but might not give you back the toy once he has it. He is very healthy for a senior dog, he can still jump high and run fast with no issues. He is hypoallergenic due to his Yorkie hair so he does not shed. He loves going on hikes off leash. I’ve had many great adventures with Keone, he’s been a great friend to me. He loves to cuddle and take showers. He gets excited and barks when visitors come but might get anxious when big dogs are around. He gets a long with small dogs, however.
