Story
Whiskey is a 3 year old Lab, German Shepherd mix dog. He's a big boy at about 110 lbs, so he needs some good space to run and play. He is a great dog, house trained, crate trained, and walks great on a leash despite his size. Unfortunately I am moving and can't take him with me (due to space), and I want him to have a home with enough space and with someone who has more time to dedicate to him than I currently do.

Story
A happy energetic dog. Loves to play and enjoys long walks. Very smart. Not food motivated. Love’s playing with other dogs. We’re unable to provide the life that Dex deserves. My roommate and I are moving soon and can’t bring him along. I just hope someone needs a furbaby and has lots of time to spend with him, reaches out. He deserves the world!

Story
Peace was given to our family, not having anywhere else to go. He is full of energy and an overall good dog. I believe he deserves more attention than our family is able to provide for him. He is a sweetheart, but still young and curious. He is able to let you know when he has to use the bathroom, but if not taken out in time he has had accidents. I am able to provide his most recent vaccines and medical history. Looking for a good, loving home for him.

Story
This is Penelope. We mostly call her Nelly. We adopted her from an animal shelter about a year and a half ago. She is the SWEETEST dog ever. I honestly dont think she has a mean bone in her body. Shes very timid but has NEVER shown any signs of aggression to any of us, including our 5 kids (Ages 3-10). She did show food aggression one time with a new dog and never again so Id recommend feeding separate from another dog until theyre more acclimated to each other. She LOVES playing with other dogs. Isnt huge into playing fetch or anything involving bringing the toys back, but loves to run. Shes pretty mellow and loves to snuggle and sleep while you do. She sleeps through the night and only barks when someone comes to the door. She will have an accident if left inside too long. Our schedule with 5 kids is just way too busy and itunfair for her to be locked up all day while wealways gone at work or sports. Would love her to find a wonderful home with more time to dedicate to her.
