Story
Joey is a fun, lovable 5yr old. He is crate trained and enjoys his crate. Hes a very clingy guy. He loves to be by your side and loves attention. Hes good with cats and dogs. Hes excellent with children. He needs to be walked or have a fenced yard. He probably could really use another dog companion. He is super food motivated. He comes with food, toys, all supplies, two crates and dog seat. Due to my move and work hours, and living situation I cannot give him the attention he deserves or keep him.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Meet a dog who wakes up ready to go and never really hits pause. This pup is bursting with energy, thrives on activity, and is always on the hunt for the next game, toy, or adventure. He is incredibly playful, driven, and engaged with his environment. Think: the kind of dog who would happily turn anything into a game (yes, even your sock;especially your sock). That said, this isnt a “fit for everyone” personality. This dog does best as the only pet in the home. They prefer having their people all to themselves and can become overstimulated or reactive around other dogs. Maui is a 9 month old beagle/hound mix. He was adopted into our family about 6 months after the passing of our Doberman. We have another dog, a mini Aussie, that was incredibly hurt by the death of her older brother. We adopted Maui in hopes to ease her sorrows and give her a new companion. Maui has proven to be much more of an irritant to her than a friend.

Story
Oreo was found as a puppy in Miami under an abandoned trailer. He was an unknown breed at the time, now at 1 year old has become too large for the house with elderly. He is strong and has caused accidental falls during times of excitement/playtime. He does not have good brakes during zoomies and can tumble people. He is house and crate trained. But does not walk well on a leash. He has lived with two other dogs (chihuahua and shepherd) and got along very well. Just needs some obedience and consistency in his life. Fully vaccinated and current on prevention.

Story
Copper is 13-years old and a great dog. We rescued Copper as a puppy from a shelter. He loves routine. We need to sell our home and cannot take him where we are going. He deserves a good home that he can live his remaining years. He is somewhat a food hound. He will not turn any food down. When Copper is ready to go to bed at night, he can get a little cranky if you disturb him. He has always been that way even as a puppy. Copper is loving and very sweet. He loves affection and will expect lots of petting from his new owner.
