Story
I adopted Maddie from a shelter approximately 3 years ago. Maddie came to me when she was 1 and the shelter told me her and her sister were locked in a bedroom for the first year of their lives. Maddie is the sweetest girl ever. She loves to lay in bed all day. The only issue that I have yet to break from her is going potty in my house. There is no rhythm or reason to it. She can literally go outside and use the bathroom then come back in and potty. She has no medical issues but appears to be behavioral. If she is in my bedroom with the doors closed with me in bed, she will not potty inside. She has been through a lot in her life but is the perfect pet! She needs someone that can work with her behavioral issues.

Story
Indiana (Indy, Dr. Jones, Indiana Jones, Phd) is about a 9 month old puppy that was dumped on our road in June and showed up at our house covered in wounds and fly bites. We took her to the vet and had her cleaned/stitched up, and was found to not have a chip. After her stray hold we had her spayed and vaccinated. Unfortunately, our old queen bee of a dog does not like other dogs which has caused some problems. Indy is VERY food motivated and has been very quick to learn commands. We have taught her place, crate, stay, sit, down, and she does very well on walks and sits when you stop walking. She absolutely loves to be near people, and sleeps in our 9 year old son's bed. She would do best in a home without other dogs or maybe a male dog. She showed no reaction to the cats in our vet's office other than mild interest in sniffing them. She does try to chase cars a bit on walks still. We have also trained her on our wireless proximity fence. She's a great puppy who deserves a great home.

Story
Price negotiable** want a good home for him!!! Duke is a handsome boy full of energy who needs a yard to run in , he loves being outdoors and playing catch. He will be 2 on Dec 26, 2024, I have some health issues that are making it difficult to care for him. We live in a tiny home with no yard. It's not fair to him to have to be caged while I am at work or not feeling well.

Story
Hi! I'm Bruno, I think I'm a lap dog even tho I'm about 100lbs. I tend to be lovable and cuddly but sometimes I don't know my own size. I'm very energetic and hyper but that's just cause I'm excited all the time. I am protective of my owners that's why my bark is so scary but I don't bite unless it's my squeaky toy. I love being outside and enjoying the fresh air but I really don't like the rain. I get along great with kids and other animals. Ido enjoy a good walk or hike. I love a good car ride, especially if you let me hang my head out the window.

Story
I'm La-La, I'm almost 3 years old! I am very lovable once I get to know you, I'm a little anxious around new people. I love cuddling that's my favorite thing. I also enjoy sun bathing. I tend to be a shy and not really want to play with others, I would do best in a home by myself or with a few people. Too much noise and excitement makes me anxious. I was abused when I was a puppy and left in a kennel so I do have some odd behaviors but I'm a good girl.
