Story
Zeke is a very happy dog. He's very active and seems to love people. He is a rescue dog, so I don't know much about him. He will sit on command. Comes when called and will get in his outdoor pen when you ask him to kennel. I would say he's getting close to 2 years of age. He will walk on a leash and stays with you when off the leash. He really wants to please you. Zeke is a good watch dog; he keeps an eye out and barks when someone new is in the area. He loves attention and wants to be with you.

Story
She is a really hyperactive dog. She is almost 4 years old, she is really good around cats and she sometimes tries to assert dominance with smaller dogs. She has never been around children so not sure how she would do around them. She really likes to play and she really loves belly rubs. She also comes with a big cage, lots of toys, harness, leash, tether, and a big tub of food. She is 3 part Lab/Husky/Pit. She is fixed, she won't let us cut her nails so she has sharp claws. She would need a decent amount of running space, preferably blocked in because she doesn't like to stay close when outside. She has separation anxiety with us, so she will prolly have a hard time getting used to her new environment.

Marley is a very loving gentle dog. We rescued him from a bad situation 2 years ago. He has never looked back. He loves kids and his little sister dog Missy, he is her guardian in all situations. We are only rehoming due to my health and needing to move cross country to a home that doesn’t have room for a big dog.

Story
Hello! We adopted Diablo when he was only a couple months old, and now he is almost 3. He is a very good boy and is house trained. Sadly our schedule has changed too much to the point that it is unfair for him :(. We are looking for a loving home that will have time to play with him, take him on walks, and give him all the snuggles. He loves playing with other dogs, but we are not sure how he gets along with cats. He is also great with kids as he is gentle and patient with them. He is a very goofy boy and is guaranteed to make you smile and laugh. While he loves to play and run around, he also loves to snuggle and chill out.

Story
Kilo is an amazing companion and it saddens our family so much to have to rehome her. We have a 8 month old son and Kilo has shown us very clear signs that she is uncomfortable living with young children. I would love to explain more about Kilo and the wonderful furry friend she is to anyone interested. :)
