Story
Ragnar is a great dog. He’s fantastic with our 3 young kids. We stop it whenever we see it, but we’ve caught them climbing on him, pulling his ears and tail, sticking their hands in his mouth — Ragnar is incredibly patient with them. I’ve never heard him so much as growl. He rarely barks and only briefly if somebody knocks. When it comes to the kids, the only thing he really needs to work on is his awareness — he’s a bit clumsy. He’ll grow out of it but he doesn’t always know what his tail is doing, for example. Ragnar knows his basic commands well. He understands and listens the majority of the time, but he’s still quite young and a bit rebellious. He has fun bouts of playful energy, but is a very chill dog for most of the day. Ragnar is free to a loving family. We took him in as a puppy with the hope of keeping him forever but knowing that idea was unlikely. However, he is officially house-trained, has been extremely loved, and is looking forward to his forever home.

Story
Lilly is a very sweet and playful dog who has been a beloved companion since the pandemic. She has always been accustomed to having company, as I was home all the time during those early days. Lilly thrives on attention and loves to play, making her a joy to be around. She can play a bit rough at times, but she’ll settle down with positive redirection However, due to a change in living situations and a demanding work schedule, I’m now unable to provide the care and companionship Lilly needs. Lilly struggles with potty issues. She requires a home where she can get the attention and support she deserves. Unfortunately, my new place doesn’t allow dogs, and my former boyfriend is also unable to take her in. Lilly is in need of a loving home where she can get the constant attention she’s used to and where she can continue to thrive.
