Story
Asher is a beautiful boy. He is protective in personality and would do well with some one familiar with guard breeds. We are having a baby and cannot keep him. He is a deaf dog but understands sign language. He can run off leash and will return to your side. He would be a great police or search dog as his nose is impeccable. Please adopt Asher. He is a good dog just has a high prey drive and further training.

Story
I adopted Noah almost 3 month ago from Dakin, Noah is 1 year old. Noah needs a family who would have the time to play and take good care of him. Noah is very sweet, loving, well behaved dog. When I first received Noah he had a peeing problem which I have been controlling by placing pee pads ang guiding him to use them. He has been loving with all my family, adults and kids. Kids should be patience with him because it would take a little time. He loves going to the dog park and making new dog friends.

Story
Brady was Rescued from the Virgin Islands, when he was about year old. He is not big but he is stocky. He loves being the center of attention. He has a huge personality! His favorite game is tug. He loves to run and thinks he part reindeer and jumps high. He is very curious and likes to explore his environment. He and his little bestie grew a bit older, two unexpected factors arose. Sadly, his little human developed an allergy that she is struggling with. The second factor arose when Brady was determined to protect his family and didn’t hesitate to tell strangers and other dogs to stay away from his home. Brady went to a behavioral trainer and received a behavior evaluation by a trusted trainer who stated Brady seemed very well adjusted with good recall and manners, He just needs to be introduced to people slowly after a few minutes he is doing much better now with treats. The ideal home would be someone with time & patience to retrain him. Older children and no other pets.

Story
My dog tootsie is the sweetest Doberman you can meet . She’s energetic and loves the outdoors . A perfect home for her would be one with a big yard , preferably another dog that is friendly , and a family . She loves attention she can sit and be pet all day long . She really smart . She’s a great listener . She will come soon as you say her name . It’s really hard for me to get rid of her but my living situation has changed and I went from a 1.5 acre house to an apartment . I no longer can provide the life she deserves. She’s a life long best friend for somebody out there . She’s great with kids . Small kids . She’s very gentle. Never bit anyone . She’s a big gentle giant . Super cool to watch she’s really athletic .

Story
Layla is about a 1 year old lab mix full of energy and love. She still has the typical puppy energy and behaviors, she is crate trained but can still bark a bit when left alone. She can be a pretty rough player with other dogs hasn’t quite learned manners even though we have tried to train her. so if you have another dog in your home they need to be okay with rough play or know how to correct other dogs. She can not be around cats as she chases mine and tries to bite at them I believe trying to play but its to much for the little cats as she could hurt them I’ve tried correcting this but she’s just to playful. Our work schedule have changed and we Are not able to give her the training or exercise she needs she needs a home that can give her attention time and patients with her. She would make a great dog for an active house who has the time to help her get all this puppy energy out she’s a great dog and a great cuddle buddy!

Story
Pixel is a very friendly dog. The epitome of a velcro dog, she loves to snug and follow you where ever you go, often bringing her pizza stuffy. She loves to run and play outside and would love an owner who loves to be out and about. One of her favorite things is car rides! She loves to sit in the front seat and watch the world go by while your out for a nice trip. She is also amazing with people and kids!
