After the passing of my mother, Rocker was more than a pet; he was an emotional support & a friend. He loves to cuddle, play tug, and chase his tail. He will protect you from birds and squirrels on walks haha & he loves to sit in the car. He isn’t a fan of the rain or the cold but he loves the outdoors.

Story
Louie is a high energy, sweet, four-year-old female dog. We recently had a baby and are finding it extremely difficult to give her the time and level of attention she needs to truly thrive. While we don't know Louie's mix, we suspect she has some Black Mouth Cur in her. Everyone who meets her on the street says she looks like Scooby Doo! We've had her since she was 7 weeks old. Louie loves long walks in the park and to chase the ball or frisbee and is happiest destroying toys. Her exposure to children has been minimal and she would be best suited to remain in an adults-only living situation. Since she was about 13 weeks old, Louie has been trained and continues to spend time with her trainer. While she has a strong personality, she knows all the basic obedience commands and is especially good at the "climb" command. She does well with a confident, calm handler and would love someone who can commit to long walks and vigorous play sessions.

Oscar is housebroken, crate trained, and has had basic manners and in-home aggression training. Prefers a home without young children. Please reach out with any questions about Oscar!!

Story
Magoo was a stray in my neighborhood a month ago. According to the vet he is roughly 2 years old. He is quick to learn and eager to please. Along with come, sit and stay, Magoo has been learning to play fetch. He gets along with our dogs and barely barks. Magoo is great on walks and good off leash. Water is his favorite thing. He can often be found playing in his pool or laying in the sun.
