Story
Hank is a sweet young boy with a lot of love to give. He would be best suited in a home with someone who does not work long hours to avoid long kenneling periods which can spark up some anxiety for him. He has a lot of energy and needs a good yard to run it off in. He hardly ever barks and is not reactive to other dogs but he seems to prefer female dogs. When other dogs are around him, he does become food aggressive though and would need to be separated from other dogs at feeding time. He is a sweet cuddly lover boy but sadly he needs more attention and space to run that I have to offer and unfortunately as a result, my home is not a good permanent match for him. Please consider this sweet baby boy to land his forever home with you.

Story
This breaks my heart, but I have to rehome my sweet girl… she’s a little over a year old and was adopted in November. I don’t know anything about her past, but she suffers from severe separation anxiety which has shown in forms of crying, howling, and barking while I am gone. She is also scared of the car and very hesitant of men so please be patient with her as this will be a huge adjustment. Once she’s comfortable, she will be like your shadow who loves to cuddle and play all day long.

Story
I adopted Max from shelter, he’s a sweet and affectionate boy. I call him a “velcro dog”. I would love for Max to be with someone who can give him the love he deserves, I work alot and in the process of moving and they don’t allow pets. By him being adopted, I have to treat him like a puppy when it comes to house training, we’re still working on that, but he will potty in his crate.

Story
Obi is a 5 year old mixed breed who I believe he is around 40 lbs. He is an incredibly sweet dog who loves his people. He is a very lazy guy who loves to snuggle up on the couch with you. When he has access to a yard he does love to run and play but he is perfectly content to lay around and be lazy. He has been around other dogs but he does tend to be particular about the dogs he likes. He has a tendency to resource guard which can cause issues. He also does not do well around cats. I have multiple cats in my home and he does not care for them. He has bitten one of my cats in the leg before. I would be most comfortable sending him to a home with no other animals. He also does not like children. He has only been around them a few times but each time he has growled and nipped at them. He absolutely cannot go to a home with any young kids. Although Obi does have some quirks, he is an incredibly sweeet and loyal boy who would make an incredible family member!
