Story
Lydia is still on the hunt for a perfect home. Very high energy, needs to be an only pet, not good with other dogs or cats (which is why she is needing a new home). Sweet girl, loves people, would need a fenced in yard as she will run and run. 2 years old and spayed. I worry about a home with small children as she has a high prey drive. Asking a small rehoming/adoption fee as I want to insure she goes to a good home. She's a good girl, just not suited for our home as we already had dogs and cats, and now and infant and I dont want her set up for failure. She was bottle fed by me from a week old so she is very loved just not the right fit, she will come with her crate blanket and toys. Message me for any more info!

Story
Toga is about 4 years old, and she is the biggest baby. She listens so well. She just wants to love everyone she meets. She is also great with random dogs. She will not bark and will stop when told. She does not approach random dogs either. Very gentle with toddlers. House trained so well to the point that if she happens to go in the house, it was indeed my fault. She has never known a cage but is always trusted to mind the house wild I am gone. She deserves the world, and I can't give that to her. Times have been tough for me as well as my own errors adding on top of things. She currently has a skin infection that makes her scratch constantly. I regrettably have not had the money to take her to a vet. I simply just don't have what she needs out of an owner. I am scared to let her go as I need to know that whoever takes her, can give her the love she deserves and needs. That is the only payment I am asking for.

Olivia is one of the sweetest girls you'll ever meet.  She came to us with her baby boy and he was adopted in just a short time; now it's Mama's turn!     Olivia keeps a clean kennel, she knows sit and shake.   She has a sugar sprinkled face and is really ready for her person to come find her.  She's a snuggler and will absolutely keep you warm at night!  She's been mom for more than a couple of litters and she's sick of sharing herself with other dogs; she wants a life where she's the one and only in her person's eyes.  She's earned it!  July 27, 2025, 4:04 pm
