Story
Teddy is 2 years old and very well behaved. He loves playing fetch, going on walks/runs, playing chase, and chewing on his toys. Teddy does like jumping on people he has never met. He does well with other dogs, but I am not sure about cats and other animals (he hates squirrels). He barks when he is in a playful mood and loves playing with his rope. He is crate trained but never really needed to be in it, as he does not chew on anything other than his toys. Teddy does well by himself, but he loves playing with people or other dogs; he would need attention to not get bored. We are looking for a home that will embrace who he is. He is a high-energy dog, so we want someone who matches his energy and can give him all the attention he needs to be happy. Someone who has a fenced-in backyard and spends lots of time outside (going on walks, hikes, etc). Preferably someone who does not have very young kids, as he can be a handful by himself.

Hi, his name is Nugget he came from a local shelter. He is a well mannered dog. Nugget is house trained and he picks up commands well. He is good with other animals I have a cat who he gets along well with Nugget also plays with children. He has a lot of energy and loves playing tug of war and fetch. He has not learned to give the toy back while playing fetch. He has never bit anyone to my knowledge.

Story
I got Ruby from a guy who was giving pitbull terriers from his litter, she's 2 and her birthday is in december. she is the sweetest thing, i just haven't had time with work and school to train her correctly. she will shower someone with love once she gets comfortable with them, sometimes it's just a struggle because of her protective behavior from fear. i just want her to be able to have a home who can take care of her and give her all the training and love she deserves. she gets along with some dogs but is very fearful when it comes to dominance. i just hope im able to find a home she will be happy and have someone who can put more time into her because she deserves it.

Story
Luca loves people. After my husband's passing last year, he has been having extreme behavioral issues with alpha checking my other dog and trying to assert dominance over the house. I don't have the time or energy to give him the training and patience he needs. He's loving, so cuddly, loves carrying around toys, and being a goofy goober. I just want the best for him. I can't provide it. He is crate trained, can sit, and give paw. He really is a loving boy. Due to his breed mix, he is very stubborn, dramatic, and silly. He loves dressing up in costumes, running around, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, and having his paw held. I hope that someone can give him the structure and consistency that I can't give him. He deserves a better chance at being trained properly by someone with a lot more experience. It breaks my heart that he lost his person (my late husband). This was not an easy decision for me. I love him and want what is best for him.
