Story
🌟 Meet Buddy – Our Gentle Giant in Need of a Home 🌟 Buddy is a sweet, laid-back, 7-year-old, 70-pound bear coat Chinese Shar Pei who’s been part of our family since he was a puppy. Sadly, his dad recently passed away, and this "big ham" is now in need of a loving home. Buddy’s favorite activities include sleeping in, loafing around the house, and being close to the people he trusts. He’s quiet, protective, and housebroken, but he’s also heartbroken right now and needs someone to spoil him like his dad and uncle used to. He does have minor health needs: 💊 Skin allergies are managed with Apoquel medication. 👂 Ear care is important due to his breed. Buddy has never lived with other animals, but he’s been curious (and a bit indifferent) when he’s seen dogs and cats, so he may adjust with proper introductions. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-maintenance companion who loves to loaf and be adored, Buddy might be the perfect fit for your family! 🐾

Story
Took in from someone that needed to get rid of him but my roommates moved out and I just can't give him the time or attention he needs. He is a young dog, guessing between 1-2yrs old. He is very loving, play nibbles but has never bit anyone or any other animals. He does require a lot of attention and training as he is still young. He does have a tendency to jump but that's all. He is leash and crate trained. Not completely house trained yet though. Just looking to find him a really loving home with some space to run.

Story
She is a very sweet dog. She loves attention and being around her owner. She rarely barks. She loves giving and receiving love. She is greedy so you can’t free feed her because she will eat it all in under 5 mins. A schedule once in the morning and once at night will be okay. She also loves kids not so great with cats at all and not good with female dogs.

Our puppies had puppies...unplanned. So we have to rehome 2 female puppies. They are 9 weeks old. We have both the parents in our home. The puppies are very strong, healthy, playful and SMART! They are active and love human interaction. Looking for their new homes to have loving and attentive pet parents since we have spoiled and doted on them. They are wonderful little puppies.
