Story
Oscar is a 4-year-old sweetheart with a big heart and even bigger energy. He was originally rescued from an abusive situation by my roommate, who found him through Facebook. Unfortunately, despite the best intentions, he hasn’t received the consistent care and attention he truly deserves. Oscar has had a tough start—he suffers from anxiety due to being confined in a cage for extended periods. Because of this, he needs a compassionate and patient person who can provide him with the love, structure, and outdoor time he craves. He thrives on movement and would do best in a home where he can play, explore, and bond closely with his new owner. If you’re someone with time, energy, and a caring heart, Oscar could be the perfect match for you. With the right environment, he has so much potential to heal and flourish. Adjectives to describe Oscar: Energetic, loyal, sweet, anxious, curious, and affectionate.

Story
Fiona is 2 years old. She has been spayed, up to date on vaccinations and pro-heart. She is very energetic. She is crate trained and has never had free range of my home. She has a fenced area and goes from crate to yard. She is not good with smaller dogs or children. Again, she is very high energy and doesn't realize her own size or strength! She does know a few commands. She is very loyal and loves attention. A family with small children have recently moved in next to us. They are outside a lot. This drives Fiona crazy, she just wants to go play with them, and I'm afraid that eventually this could cause a problem. She will stand on the fence and bark at them. I'm trying to avoid any future incidents. I'm afraid that she will get out and accidentally hurt them.
