Story
Onyx is 6 years old. She extremely mild mannered and laid back. She is 100% a house dog. Onyx is house trained and would be the perfect companion for someone that's homebound because she's not a big fan of being outside or even going for walks. She will alert when someone approaches the home. Her growl and bark are very intimidating yet misleading. She's an extremely sweet dog and deserves a loving and caring home.

Story
Nemo is a purebred shih tzu that is AKC registered with champion bloodlines. He’s is super friendly and loves to go for walks! He loves children and is just happy to play. He will lay down with you after a long day and give you lots of kisses. He’s a very sweet puppy, unfortunately, my son developed a really bad allergy to dogs that we did not know about and so we have to rehome him. He is 100% up to date in shots, comes with his kennel, play pin, all toys, his food, and potty pads for when you leave him at home while you’re at work.

Story
He will be seven years old on December 3rd, 2024. He is very high energy, and house-broken. Good with people and kids, but jealous when it comes to other animals. He does live with other dogs and gets along well with them, but he prefers all the attention. Best if he is the only pet in home. Doesn’t bite and not aggressive, but does jump, a lot. He is a very sweet boy and loves to cuddle. When you receive him, you will get his collar, vest, and leash along with him. Needs a bigger house and a place to run and release his energy.

Prancer

Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I rescued Prancer and her seven siblings/ mother from euthanasia when she was just 2 weeks old. I fostered them until 10 weeks where they received loving homes! Or so I thought. Prancer unfortunately did not go to a well placed home. She has been neglected (left in a closet in a kennel for days to sit in urine and feces). I was able to get her back under my care two months ago, however, I am a college student and I know she deserves more time than I can give her. She has no history of aggression of ANY kind. She is a very sweet girl and although she was neglected, she does not show it. She is not aggressive towards people (she will be protective walking outside when with her people. She’s is all bark no bite), plays tremendously well with dogs at daycare, and gets along perfectly with my cat. She is one years old and due to her history she is re-learning potty training. High energy puppy!!! I am in NO RUSH to rehome her, message if interested. Thanks!
