Story
Mr. Wilson is 6 years old, he was adopted from a shelter in Washington State when he was 8 months old. He loves to play with toys, he loves treats. He does have anxiety/separation anxiety so he is not able to board at any facility. When we adopted him it was during covid so he was always home with someone. Our household consisted of me and my husband no children or other pets. As time went by his anxiety increased so he does take medication to help with that, he is leash reactive so it can make a walk a challenge, he would do well with a yard to run around in to burn off his energy. In March of this year my husband passed away and that really affected him, Mr. Wilson and I moved to Hawaii in July and the move was very hard with his anxiety. He is a friendly dog he has never bitten or attacked another animal he just gets over excited when seeing them and the introduction is a little challenging but once they touch noses he wants to run and play.

Story
He is my first dogs son, born by an accident during covid and we’ve loved him for this last four years but as of late, we just can’t continue to take care of him! He’s legs don’t work super great, a trait from his mutt dad, but he can still walk and all that! He is a nervous dog but also is very protective of the house, which comes in handy most of the time! He’s friendly with new people, very vocal on their arrival but only wants to be pet! He’s also never bitten anyone. He is honestly a really good dog! Great with kids, pretty chill and loves being outside!

Story
Adopt Me: Energetic 6-Year-Old Female Blue Heeler. This sweet and lively 6-year-old Blue Heeler is looking for a loving home! She is chipped, vaccinated, and spayed. Great with people, dogs, and other pets, but would thrive as the only pet due to her jealous nature. She has lick granulomas on her paws (likely behavioral) that may improve with plenty of activity and attention. She’s friendly, loyal companion who just needs the right home. If you’re ready for an active and loving best friend, reach out to meet her!
