Story

SPIN received a call for help with three Standard Poodles whose owner had fallen on hard times and could no longer care for them. We were happy to bring them in, and that's how we met Jersey. From the moment she arrived, we noticed her red, irritated, and flaky skin, along with some hair loss and uneven regrowth. But none of that mattered—we loved her at first sight!

Story

Harley is a 5 year old black female half Mastiff and half American Staffordshire Terrier born in October 2018. She’ll jump on you and kiss you to death. Most affectionate dog ever. She’s fixed. And very happy. Very good with kids as well. She’s very playful and energetic. Needs a place with land and a family with an active lifestyle. Unsure about her being reactive to other dogs as she has lived with her pack for awhile. In the past, she got along with the house cat, but haven’t been around a cat for awhile. This is a courtesy listing. If you are interested in providing a forever home for one, or both of the dogs, please contact Andrew directly at bugnetandrew@gmail.com

Jet is a 3 yr old Red Labrador. She loves people, once she gets to know and trusts them. Great in the home, can be left up to 3 hours. (No Crate). She’s very athletic, loves to swim, soccer, dock diving. She is very bright, shows much initiative and learns quickly. She responds well to positive, holistic handling, vocal praise, touch and treat rewards. She has excellent recall and obedience. Dog reactive, dependant on the other dog’s body language. (white dogs especially). No Small animals. No children. High drive, from a working line. Jet will thrive in a rural environment as the only dog, no other pets. An active lifestyle from walking around the property to swimming, dock diving, water sports, soccer, and Frisbee. Jet is a lovely genuine girl with lots of character. She loves cuddles on the couch and bedtime cuddles. She loves to travel in the car and be your sidekick. Jet needs to do things during the day, from sitting in the sunshine, helping in the garden or doing things with you. Jet is obedient and knows her commands. She comes from a working line so has high drive. She will need consistency, patience and reassurance to help her adapt to changes and for her to have a thriving life. This is a courtesy listing.

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I adopted Luna from a shelter. It is my very first dog. She looks very sad and I think it is because I live in a condo so she may not get enough exercise even though I walk her for 1h30+ everyday. I think she would be much more happy in a larger house with a backyard and another dog to keep her company. It stresses me to know she may be sad and I just want the best for her and I dont think her place is in my household. She i very mellow, calm and sweet. She never barks and is passive. very active. high prey drive. not fully obidient but understand a few command. Cannot recall yet. Never barks very active not agressive follow there human everywhere
