Story
My girlfriend acquired Koda in Florida 2 years ago, due to circumstances she had to move back to Venezuela and ever since I’ve been taking care of him. I work 13 hour days from Monday to Saturday, and I’m not able to give him the attention and time he deserves. He’s a fun and very loving little guy, it hurts just thinking about giving him away, but it’s not fair to him that he spends majority of the day alone. I would like for him to go to a home that has a backyard (he loves playing fetch and just being goofy) and a family that has the time to give him love and attention.

Story
He is a great companion who is very loyal which comes with his breed. I am looking for a home so he will have the time to be cared for and the resources to give him a happy life. He would thrive best in a yard or big open space to run. He is house broken and does not use a crate but had been crate trained. He has been around cats and co-existed with them. He is an energy level dog and has anxiety at times but is a great companion. He needs to a home that will give him the time and love he deserves.

Anna is a sweet 8 year old pomeranian. She is very energetic and would be best with someone who has a yard she can play in. Unfortunately Anna has Cushings disease and needs to be on a special diet and goes to the bathroom alot and does well if she has a doggy door and can go in/ out when she needs to, orgerwise, vshe is not housebroken and will need to be walked often. She loves attention and is very affectionate!

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Koda is a fun loving Akita. He enjoys cuddles, treats, and running at the dog park. He is a big goofball ball. He knows some basic commands, is house-trained, kennel-trained, and is a quick learner, although he does get excited for his treats. He can be a talker. Lol He is a bit timid when meeting new people but warms up to you quickly. He hasn't been around a lot of other dogs. Sadly, I have to rehome him due to loss of income and moving out of state. Just want him to go to a good home that can give him lots of cuddles, affection, and become his best friend!

Story
Meet Cap, a goofy lovable couch potato who always has a smile on her face! Cap is a retriever mix who is between 10-12 years old but still loves to play! We adopted Cap from a shelter in January of 2016, and they estimated that she was between 2-4 at that time. She has jealousy issues with our toddler so we are having to keep them separated full time, and she deserves so much more than that. For that reason, we would not recommend she go to a home with young children. She does great with cats and is good with most other dogs. She loves to snuggle or lay out in the sun, but is also always up for a good walk or game of tug of war. She is very loyal and loves to spend time with family.
