Story
Hello! Riker is a delightful guy who is incredibly playful and loves to get treats. He loves cuddles and attention and likes to believe he is a lap dog when in fact he is pushing 60 lbs at barely one year old. He knows all his basic commands like sit and stay, he also knows the commands for going to his dog bed and his crate, and he is also working on getting better at walking and he is doing a really good job. I will give whom ever adopts Riker all his favorite toys, his dog bed, his leash and harness, and his crate. My requirements for adoption are that you: have a back yard and do not live alone since he is a dog that requires a lot of love and attention.

Story
Tula is a 25lb mix, about 7.5yrs. Ive had her since she was about 8mos and LOVE her. But I moved (for my health) and she keeps getting out of my not well fenced yard and I cant afford new fence. For her safety Im looking for a new home. She's NEVER been an escape artist before, doesnt go far. She loves people, is dog selective but loves to play with doggie friends. My other two, both Collies, wont play with her and she is bored, so she gets out for fun. She needs a fenced yard to sniff & lie in the sun, and love! She lived with a cat before and did well. VERY smart and loves training. Knows some tricks. Positive reinforcement ONLY. NO SHOCK, PRONG, CHOKE COLLARS, NO CESAR MILLAN FANS. Pros: cuddly, smart, friendly, low shed, good with dogs when properly introduced, healthy. If you have a yard, she only needs one walk per day. Comes with supplies, coats, up to date on shots. Cons: Can be nervous around new dogs but easy to work with. She is an absolute doll and you will love her!

Story
I welcomed Hiro into my life from a family who, sadly, had to move overseas and couldn’t take him along. Hiro is a spirited 6-year-old German Shepherd with boundless energy, a wonderful personality, and a truly kind heart. He thrives in an environment where he has plenty of space to explore and play. Ideally, Hiro’s new home would include a large, enclosed yard where he can run to his heart’s content. He’ll do best with an active and energetic companion who can match his zest for life and provide him with the love and attention he deserves.
