Story
Hudson is 3 to 4 years old and weighs 77 lbs . He is neutered and up to date on vaccines , is on a monthly heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick. Hudson has been an apartment dog since being adopted 2 years ago . He is pretty mellow as he likes to nap and lounge on the couch alot. He does get to go for some walks and loves them. They are very limited as it is risky that we run into another dog. He is reactive so he don't get much exercise . He is a big cuddle bug and wants to be with me or on me all the time. Hudson love to give kisses. He loves his treats and dinner time. He lets me bath him, trim his nails, clean his ears, brush his teeth. He does great at the vet for all his pokes. He is is a gentle giant. Hudson needs a home with a yard and no other pets. He needs to be able to run and get exercise . Hudson has had training can sit, lay down go to kennel, shake. He goes to the door and sits to let you know when he needs to go out and go potty. He is very smart!

Story
Wilford B. is a lovely, fluffy husky. He was my brother's best friend and I hate letting this dog go but I can't handle two dogs. My brother passed away in February but only had been separated from this dog for a week in the 10 years he had him. Wilford is in lovely health. He's more of a cat in dog clothing, though. He doesn't howl or make lots of noise. Just wants to watch the birds & squirrels outside or lounge on a couch. He's a good walking dog. He takes me around the block, not pulling too hard. He just wants to see what's around the corner & sniff. Anytime I eat, he wants a taste but will patiently wait for me to give him food. Just a taste is fine. He's lived with another dog for 8 years but they tolerate each other, don't cuddle. An easy going dog that just wants to chill & watch the outside. Or be outside.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Story
Kona was rescued when she was 3-4 and we’ve had her for 4 years. We have worked with a couple different trainers to help her not be dog reactive. We have had several issues lately between her and our other female pit bull, Piper, and need to rehome Kona before one of them seriously hurts the other one. Kona is very smart, well trained and knows all the usual commands. She is a great dog on her own but struggles around other dogs. This is heartbreaking for us because she’s so funny and playful and loving but we can’t risk her and Piper hurting each other anymore.

Story
Hello, my name is Kronos and I am 5 years old in March. I am 100% german shepherd dog purebred. I am the goodest boy, I am extremely well trained. I know how to sit, shake, lay down, wait, and heel (for walking on a harness). I love to run and play, however i have severe hip dysplasia that currently does not effect my walking abilities. I cannot run for very long due to this issue though. I have been with My current owner since i was 8 weeks old and she is about to have a baby and I have skin allergies that are very severe that she can no longer afford. I am extremely well with kids and will need to be exercised on a daily. I would love to have my own fenced in backyard and maybe another dog friend to play with. I am non-aggressive, but I am very protective. I will require someone who will be able to take me to the vet regularly for my severe skin allergies and require daily exercise and training for mental stimulation. I will require to be returned to my owner if this does not work.

Story
Harley is a 1 year old miniature schnauzer and weighs about 14lbs. She is very loving and energetic. Where ever you go she will want to follow and will snuggle up as soon as she see the opportunity. She’s been great with our young children. She loves to be outside but doesn’t have much experience on a leash. We are safely looking for a home for her and her sister due to our son’s major allergies.

Olive is sweet. She loves the outside and hates being cooped up in an apartment all day. Storms and loud noises make her anxious, she just needs to be with someone and she is fine. She is playful and silly. I work 10 hour days. She needs a person who is home more.
