Story
Dory, a 6 year old chocolate lab, came to me from Maine last year--unfortunately to my surprise, she was ill with a malignant tumor. Due to financial and logistical circumstances, I am needing to rehome her. Her new owner should be adequately financially prepared to handle potential unexpected veterinary costs. We can discuss that more if you are potentially interested. No other pets in home (doesn't do well with other dogs, other pets unknown), kids unknown. She is anxious, but a good girl in general. Here are some basics about Dory, including some information to give an idea on general expenses: -Diet: Hill's Science Diet Sensitive Skin wet & dry -Current medications/supplements: welactin, simparica trio -Pre-existing and/or current conditions: malignant tumor, new lump (unknown status), pruritus, overweight **There is a chance Dory might have hypothyroidism and may need lifelong medication pending vet observation *The adoption fee is just to cover the listing fee

Kate is a wonderfully sweet pup that needs more space than what I can give her. She is so good with all other animals and is great with kids. She would thrive with someone who is home most of the day and has a lot of land and other dogs for her to play with.

Story
Nash is a 5 year old black lab. He is crate trained. He knows basic commands- sit, stay, lay down, kennel, walk, gentle. He does have a bite history. We kennel trained him and that’s where he stayed while we worked, he did so well that we decided to let him roam the house while we worked. When my 14 got home with an hood on his head and dressed in black, Nash tried to protect the home. In result he did bite my son’s hand. He was quarantined for the recommended 10 days and there have not been any issues since. He’s great with my 5 year old. We are rehoming because we are moving to Florida, who we are moving with already has a dog and 2 is too many. Would love for him to go to a good home. Please don’t let his history affect anything he’s honestly the sweetest dog, just wants all the attention he can get.

At 5½ years old, Atom is the perfect blend of fun and mellow. A Beagle mix with a heart of gold and a nose that never quits! This handsome boy is beyond sweet, always ready to share love and companionship with everyone he meets. Atom’s favorite things?

He’s a natural explorer who delights in following scents and discovering new adventures, but he also knows how to relax and enjoy the quiet moments. Like most Beagles, Atom is friendly, loyal, and endlessly curious. He loves people and would make a wonderful companion for anyone looking for a steady, affectionate friend. Whether you’re out enjoying the fresh air or hanging out at home, Atom will be right there with you with his tail wagging and heart full. Atom is easygoing and ready to find his forever family. If you’re looking for a loving, gentle dog who brings joy and calm wherever he goes, Atom might just be your perfect match. Fill out an application today to meet Atom!
