Story
Hello! Agnes is the most loyal, loving dog you will find. Once she gets to know you she will love you for life. She is about 8 yrs old. She hates squirrels, bikes, and Amazon trucks. She has quite a bit of energy and needs all the attention. While she is full of energy she also loves her long naps. Ive only had her for year and due to moving I need to re-home her. It breaks my heart but she deserves a wonderful home.

Story
Riff is a special dog who has some special. We adopted him some a shelter last Aug, he was 3 months old. I had some health issues crop up 3 later in was rather worthless for a couple of months. Later potty training became an issue and still is. During potty training we notice Riff is very anxious and skittish when outside, easily distracted and nervous. We live in a loud part of town. But!!! Riff really likes to be outside, he loves daycare and he walks weekly with a walker and several other dogs. And he loves it!! He is very sweet and loving. He is also quite rambunctious and social. We dearly love him but we’re old, 66 and 75. Riff needs to work a lot every day and we are not able to meet his needs. Thank you for reading this. Contact me for more info. PS: Riff uses a potty pad in one small area by the patio glass door (Just in case!). He never leaves surprises elsewhere.

Story
We found Brutus in a trailer park after he was abandoned by his original owner. He's a young dog, but he hates being left alone and he has some behavioral issues. (gets excited and will jump on you without any warning which can be a little scary to some people) He loves chewing things. He's a great walking dog, always on high alert. He's a sweet boy, but a little slow. All he needs is someone who has enough time on their hands to train him. His groin area may need surgery that we cannot afford. He has a permanent "lipstick" and he pees in a different direction. He cannot sit properly and will lay on his butt rather than a normal sit pose like a regular dog. He cannot tolerate any wet food. Ultimately, we are already breaking the bank with our elderly dog Oakley that is nearing the end stages of her life and we would like to focus on her health during this difficult time as we are also moving in a week.

Story
We found Oliver while on vacation, he had been abandoned in the summer so it was hot he was starving covered in ticks and he was hungry and we wanted to try and help him. He's a great loving dog, he's filled with energy and wants to play, he's house broken and is okay to stay alone for an extended period of time, he does well in the cage we have for him. He loves to snuggle, again he loves to play so any kid who has alot of energy he would love, unfortunately I am pregnant and we have an infant and as much as we know he wouldn't harm him he doesn't realize the baby is to little to run and play with him and we feel like we aren't doing him any favors by trying to keep him when we know there is a family that can love him and he would be a perfect fit with.
