Story
George is a sweet and playful Golden Mountain doodle who has been a beloved part of our family for the past 11 months. At just under 2 years old, he’s full of life and loves going on walks, playing fetch, chasing ducks, and snuggling up after a fun day. While George has many wonderful qualities, he does get anxious around strangers and children he doesn’t know. He currently lives in a busy household with 6 people (2 adults and 4 kids) and often sees neighborhood children coming and going, which can make him stressed and protective. We believe George would thrive in a calm, child-free home with experienced dog owners who can provide the structure and reassurance he needs. With the right environment and continued training, George will make a loyal and loving companion. George’s Ideal Home: • No children • Low-traffic household • A calm, quiet environment • Fenced yard preferred • Patient owner willing to work with his anxiety around new people George has so much love to give 🤍🖤

Story
This is Famoso or Fam as we call him. He is a big lover boy obsessed with the people he loves. I “adopted” him when he was almost 4 years old now 5 from a woman who had just lost her husband and fam was his dog. The woman did have a very young daughter he grew up with. I do not have kids but have very young siblings that he is perfectly fine around. He is good with female dogs not really sure about other males. Never been around cats at least while he has been with me. I am struggling health wise and money wise and do not give him the attention or things he needs. He is a very good boy just needs a little obedience training. Can have a few accidents in the house overnight but other than that he we bark or cry in front of you if he needs to go out! He has never been a chewer and is pretty good about being left out. Fenced in yard is a plus but he’s more of a couch potato. Adopter MUST get him fixed. He was used for breeding by previous owner. If you are interested please reach out!

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Story
Roscoe is a 5 year old Doberman/Rottweiler mix. We rescued him at 4 months old and later learned that he had been abused for his first 4 months of life. We never saw any signs of aggression until a couple years ago when he bit someone at a coffee shop who had stuck their hand in my car window to pet him. Since then, he’s bit 2 more people, & just recently got aggressive with my two year old. With all that being said, he really is the sweetest boy in the world and loves his people so hard. He just has a lot of triggers and anxiousness due to being previously abused and would thrive with someone who has no small children and is willing to put in all the time and training it takes to create a safe and happy life for him.
