Story
Adopted at Animal Control under the name "Ice" w/ given age 5 yrs. But my veterinarian found him to be closer to 1 or 2 yrs bc of recent loss of baby teeth. Renamed Romeo for his loving personality- kisses people & dogs- he is healthy, very active, & submissive, but also an ESCAPE artist - hates a crate! He was easily house-trained, doesn't bite or bark, but vocalizes when excited & can say "I love you" & "Ro-ro run-run" to ask for dog park. Major love is running w/ dogs at dog park! He prefers nonaggressive, younger dogs, male or female; will retreat if treated roughly. He also like leash walks, car rides & water play w/senior dog sisters & his human who cant keep up w/ him bc too old & need surgeries. Strong prey drive-chases squirrels, lizards, cats, possums. Sleeps w/ his human, or on floor in cozy space. Will growl to protect food bc starved in former home. Must have another dog playmate in home. Prefer a house for ZOOMIES bc he is a big, strong boy. Stands 32" to ear tips.

Story
Meet Bula, a 7lb - 6 year old Havanese-Pomeranian mix with a big heart and gentle soul. He is affectionate, people oriented.and truly thrives when he can be someones main focus. He would do best in a single pet home, as he prefers not to share his space with other animals. In his current home, he struggles with having another dog around and would be much happier in a calm environment where he can feel secure and relaxed. Bula is sweet, attentive, and loves companionship. He is ideal for someone who wants a loyal little dog to dote on and who enjoys giving their pet plenty of attention. This rehoming decision has been extremely hard - as I have been Bulas mom since he was only 8 weeks old. the decision is being made out of love, with his best interests in mind, to give him the peaceful, happy life he deserves. Sincerely, Bulas Current Mom

Story
Bear is a 5-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd. He is crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, good with cats and other dogs (he loves dogs), went to boarding school as a puppy, and is neutered. He is extremely loyal, sweet, and very bonded to his people. He loves cuddles, being close, and thrives on attention and connection. He is also emotionally intense and does best in a home that understands herding/working breeds and can give him structure. I’ve realized I’m not the best long-term fit for Bear. I believe he needs a family, a backyard, and ideally another dog to play with. I want him to feel fulfilled, calm, and secure, not anxious or understimulated. Bear is not aggressive. He is eager to please but can get anxious without enough exercise or if there’s a lot of commotion or new people. He may be shy at first but usually warms up quickly. He will be your little shadow and an incredibly loyal best friend. I’m interested please message me with information!

Story
Ozzy is a wonderful dog. He weighs about 20 pounds. We found him outside my son’s daycare. He is NOT neutered and he is NOT chipped. He is so sweet, and great with kids and other dogs. But a bit scared/uncomfortable around cats. We are only rehoming Ozzy because my son is not gentle with him and the poor dog gets stuck in a room alone so we can protect him from our 2 year old boy. Also, we could not afford the shots and neutering, and he is NOT house trained.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,
Story
Buddy is 2 1/2 years old and has magical ears! He is about 35 pounds and is a lab/terrier/pit mix. He is active and playful, loves to eat, good with kids and housebroken. He loves to go on runs. Being rehomed due to family's allergies. Buddy is wary of strangers and will go to get his security blankie or hide under the bed if he feels insecure. Generally ignores other dogs and likes to stick by his people. Buddy would do great in a calm home, either with or without a companion dog. A fenced yard would be a big bonus! Buddy is in our direct from owner program. Chesed Rescue will process all applications for him but his adoption will come directly from his current owners. There is no adoption fee (though donations to the rescue are always appreciated). Adopter will need to have Buddy neutered and brought up to date on vaccinations.
