Story
Lovely dog she loves her person and will do anything for a ball. Loves to play fetch and will play all day if she could. I would need to take her on a walk at least once a day to get her energy out but due to work I travel 3 weeks at a time. Not fair for her.

Story
Remi was adopted by a family when he was just a few months old. The couple had a baby and Remi developed an issue with Resource Guarding and the couple returned him to the breeder. We heard about Remi from a friend of the breeder and brought him home. He was said to be house broken, and for the most part does pretty well, sometimes I think we miss his signals.The bigger issue is the resource guarding. He is aggressive and snaps when you try to remove his food dish, take something away from him, if he is sleeping and you pet him without announcing yourself first, or if he is guarding the chair or area he is lying on. He has snapped at both my wife and I, and unfortunately, drew blood when he snapped at my wife. We have young grandchildren and the resource guarding is a serious concern for us. The breeder stated that both parents are very good natured and she has not seen this behavior from any of the siblings. Remi is playful and energetic; likes to run; get along with our other dog.

Looking for a Loving Home for a Sweet Senior Poodle Mix Hi everyone, helping rehome my moms black poodle mix. Due to physical and financial challenges, she can no longer care for him, and we’re hoping to find him a wonderful forever home. Here is a little about him: Male, senior dog, rescued. Quirky and sweet with lots of personality. House-trained and only eats FreshPet food. Great with other dogs but especially loyal and protective of his chosen person. Currently losing his eyesight and hearing. Has a cough (not kennel cough) and will need to see a vet for evaluation. He has been in my home for almost three months, and gotten to see just how loving and unique he is. We want to ensure he goes to the best home possible, so interested parties will be screened. If you or someone you know is interested in providing him with the care and love he deserves, please PM me for more details. Thank you for helping us find this sweet boy a safe and loving

Story
Hello, meet dash! He’s a young (2yrs) spunky, quirky English Bulldog! He’s a good family dog that gets along with kids and other dogs. We had an older female boxer and they got along good. I do not know how he’d do with another male. We adapted him about 5 months ago and unfortunately things have changed and my new position at work has me traveling often and I don’t want to continue to board him in a dirty boarding kennel. He’s a unique color and was very expensive hence high adoption fee but that is completely negligible as him home life is most important. He’s not for breeding and won’t come with papers. He’s not neutered. Please contact for more info. I have business trips in the immediate future and looking to rehome asap. Thank you!

Story
This is my boy blue. He originally was rescued by me a little over 5 years ago when his previous owner lost her home to unfortunate circumstances. Blue came from a household full of kids and other animals. I learned alot while fostering him, and while he may be okay with other dogs/cats, he has a very playful side to him that some animals might not like so much (including cats), so preferably he is probably best to be placed in a home where he is the center of all the attention. He is a very thick dog, very powerful, but will also give you all the lovings and attention you could ever ask for. He is fixed, and roughly around 7 years old. He loves a good snowball fight, or even a summer time swim or playing in the sprinkler. (it's honestly so cute). He has always been a good boy and he is very protective of his family, but likes to show you how big of a bark he has when other animals or people pass by. Blue has been looking for a forever home and we're hoping to find the perfect fit!

Story
His name is Cooper, he is about 4 years old. He is a pure breed American Bully. He is a wonderful dog and is amazing with kids and people. He is a very loving and playful boy. He is approximately 110lbs and sometimes he doesnt realize it lol. We got him from my cousin as a temporary measure until he could get his housing figured out after a move for work. We were keeping him until he was able to take him back. Unfortunately it has gotten bad between Cooper and one of my other dogs. He has been great with my female doberman, but is battling my male shepard mix. We originally thought it was a food aggression, however they have had another incident so it may not be. I do feel he would need a home with no other pets, but is fine with little kids, teenagers and adults. He does have allergies to some foods like peanut butter, salmon, beef liver and chicken. But does well with boue buffalo lamb kibble! Any questions just ask!
