Story
Our beloved Pepper was purchased at Shake-a-Paw. She is 4 years old. All members of our household love pepper. Pepper has never been crate-trained. She is not destructive when left home alone. She is extremely intelligent. She knows various commands, sit, stay, wait, no, come, etc. She loves lots of attention. She is very protective and loyal and tends to be territorial. We desire to have her adopted by someone who does not have children - since we never evaluated her with children. She enjoys the outdoors and would require a backyard. She has a lot of energy. She is a herding dog and tends to nip when triggered by strange people entering her environment. She requires time to get used to new people. However, if she is in an environment other than her home she is shy and nervous but doesn't nip or bark aggressively. All we want is for Pepper to be happy. We are putting her up for adoption due to my elderly father coming to live with us and he is highly allergic to animals.

Story
Tiki comes to us from the island of Saint Martin, where she was surrendered, along with her brothers and sisters in a bucket! She is what is commonly and affectionately called a Coconut retriever. Which is a nice way of saying a mixed breed.Believe it or not, her DNA says she’s pitbull and GSD along with other misc breeds!! She is about seven months old and will soon be spayed. She’s a friendly girl, active and playful. She would do well with an active family. Another dog would be icing on the cake. Tiki, as with all puppies, would benefit from some positive training. She gets along very well with the two resident dogs. She seems to like children, but until properly trained would be better with older children rather than toddlers. If you’re looking for a fun loving furry family member, tiki may be your girl!

Story
Misa is a very loving 2 year old dog. One of the most friendliest dogs you will come across. She loves other dogs and is well with kids. She's trained to use the bathroom outside and knows basic commands, sit, down, paw etc. She's a great house dog not destructive by any means, if her new home would have a yard she would be in paradise as she loves running around and being outside. I love this dog so much and so my kids but my wife's and daughters allergies are getting worse and that's why we are looking to re home her. Misa is a amazing companion and so loyal as much as I don’t want to let her go I don’t have much of a choice. Ps she rarely barks but when something catches her eye she’s a Yeller lol

Cali is a 7 year old husky mix. Wonderful dog, great with children. Love people but selective with other animals. Not super high energy but still loves to play. Would do best in a home with no other pets. House trained. Walks great on a leash and follows most commands. Looking for a home with lots of love to give.

Story
Luna is an energetic, loving 2-3 year old American Staffy Mix. Originally, my cousin found her tied to a fence in a park and rescued her. Due to breed discrimination by the landlord she had to find her a new home. We have housed her for six months while she looks for a new place and saves but a member of my immediate family has had a stroke and it is no longer possible to care for three dogs, especially with her energy level and need for space. She is kennel trained, leash trained and house trained but gets bored easily and might get into things if left unsupervised outside of kennel. She gets along with dogs outside the home but should be the only dog in the home as she can be a little bit of a diva and can get jealous of food and her caregiver in the home setting. She used to live with older kids from age 10-16. She loves pets and kisses and chewing on tennis balls. She is overall super sweet and would be great for young adults or a family.
