Story
We got koi from a dog kennel that raised boxers. Koi was the weakest one not expected to make it and we took him in too give him a fighting chance. He is four years old and full of lots of energy. Koi is very strong willed and loyal to his people stays very close to my daughter when she's playing outside. Koi needs a home where he can run his energy off outside that has lots of land as we are running out of time to provide that for him. He's been the best companion for my daughter but changes in life aren't going to allow us to keep him. He knows basic commands such as sit shake and speak but you have to work him up to it because it's more of a whisper. He's very loving as often you will find yourself with a large lap dog asleep on you. Koi isn't too much on cold weather either he's been inside his whole life .

Story
In 2022, my husband and I found Stella on the side of a county road by herself. We rolled down the window of our car to see if she was okay. She wasted no time to jump right into the car with us. She was quite friendly and did not mind coming home with us. We searched the area for anyone missing a dog and even took her to the vet to check for a microchip. But, we only found that Stella had hookworms and scars on her legs. Ever since, we've had her as a part of our family. She is approximately 2 years old and FULL of endless energy! Not to mention, toys are a MUST for her obsession with them! An active lifestyle and plenty of room to run is a perfect home for her! Two words to describe Stella would be loving and energetic!

Story
Our dog Mitsie is approximately 15 years old and is white in color. Acquired her when she was 2 yrs. old for our youngest daughter. Very mild tempered, gets along with everyone. She is starting to not hear as well, and needs a little help with steps. Our daughter is no longer at home and being a retired couple, we are traveling a little more as time goes by. We feel she would be better off in a home that can give her more attention than we can give her.
