Story
Buddy was found as a stray with scars throughout his body they believe he was used as a fighting dog. He is the sweetest boy with energy like a puppy. He is food protective around other animals. He is picky with other dogs some he likes and some he doesn’t. He does better with female dogs compared to other males. He takes some time getting used to cats and still needs to be separated when feeding or at-least supervised. He loves all types of toys and does not have any destructive behavior. He does not like motorcycles and does have some anxiety with storms and fireworks. He takes time getting used to young kids because he only just recently with me been around young kids. He has had a hard life before I got him he was abused so some people make him scared. He loves adventures and sight seeing even if it’s a campfire or a simple walk in the park. He does have some food allergies. He just needs a loving home where he can go on walks or runs and loves to do tasks.

Coco was found and rescued from a construction dumpster when she was approx. 8 weeks old. She is almost 6 months old now. She is sweet and loves her belly rubs . She is very playful, active and has a lot of energy and needs proper training that unfortunately we could not provide. Coco is with my elderly parents most of the day and they just cant physically keep up with an active puppy. We are looking for a loving home that can give her the attention and training that she needs and deserves.

Story
Luna is a (almost) 4 year old Lab mix and is the sweetest loving baby once she gets warmed up to you. She needs someone that is willing to put the effort and patience into understanding her. She gets very anxious and protective around strangers and other animals but warms up to whomever after some time spent together. She tends to be a tough player when it comes to smaller dogs so i do not suggest she be homed with them. Unfortunately, i am needing to rehome her due to some unexpected events. I am looking for someone to give her the fulfilling life that she so very much deserves.
