Story
Very lovable dog but she has eye sight issues, and somtimes gets nervous. She currently lives with a lab Shepherd mix and they absolutely love playing together but we are currently expecting a new baby in a month and have 2 young children, so I'd rather let her go to a family that doesn't have so much going on that can tend to her needs. She will play, or she is fine with just lap laying. Would make a very lovable lap companion. Gets along just fine with kids like I said she likes to play, as well.

Story
Very lovable dog. Very smart, and absolutely loves to play. He's a big baby honestly. Loves kids and knows his limits. He will play a little rougher with the older ones and knows to be gentle with the little ones. Would make a very good family dog for a largerbreed. We are expecting a new baby in a month and have a 3 yr old and 6 yr old and just have alot going on and not enough time to spend with him. He knows sit, lay and does great on walks.

Lola is a wonderful dog and is very sweet. She craves attention and is wonderful with kids. she is 4 years old and has lots of energy but enjoys laying right beside you. she loves to run and play. She knows how to shake paws and is constantly learning new tricks. we are moving out of the area and are unable to take her with us.

Story
Unika or Uni for short, is a 5 year old pit boxer mix. She is the biggest couch potato but still has some pep in her step. She was adopted by us in Colorado a few years back but we’re not sure of her full adoption history before us. She is dog and cat selective. She does have some anxiety but she truly is the sweetest lovebug. She is an escape artist and it’s really hard for just me to handle her with a baby at home.
