Story
I adopted bingo a few weeks ago. She’s a good dog but I not able to give her the proper stimulation she needs. She loves to play with toys and she likes to lay and chew on them to relax herself. She especially loves big toys that crinkle and squeak. She is the perfect dog for someone that is active or anyone that’s an outdoor lover. She loves to play outside and go on walks. She is food motivated which helps a lot with training. She does good in public and with other dogs. She is crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night and is in there while I am at work. She is 49lbs, which I would consider a medium sized dog, and about 2 years old. She is on an anxiety medication called Prozac which she takes everyday but it has helped her a lot and she eats the pill pretty easily if you just put it in any food she likes. My goal is for her to be adopted into a loving home🤍🤍

Story
This is Lola in first pic. Lola is up for adoption to good home only! Her sister is on right in second pic. Dad in 3rd pic. Mom in 4th pic. She just turned 3 years old. We have had them since they were puppies. Lola is spayed and chipped. She is very loving, entergetic and fun to be around. She is my best friend but she gets into lil squabbles with her sister and my daughter is more attached to the other dog. She is an inside dog and potty trained. She is very loyal and the best dog ive ever had. She listens very well. Her food and water dispenser will go with her along with her harness. Great dog just dont have time to train them to be around each other. Will need to be in a fence if left outside unless u have a big piece of property with no neighbors for her to roam. She would prefer to be inside though being a guard dog and warning you when someone is near by when she is not keeping you company and hanging out.

Story
Sharing my life with a pet is more time consuming than I realized. Oakley is a good dog. He is 3 years old. He was found wandering with his brother and taken to the shelter. He has made great progress from the frightened timid dog he was when he came home with me 10 months ago. He learns quickly and is motivated by praise and affection, not treats. He is 100% house and crate trained. Oakley warms up to other dogs and people with a little time. Good alarm bark but shys away from contact. Not aggressive at all. He likes to by under cover; his crate, a table, or a corner to feel safe. He likes to be left alone when he eats. I believe Oakley will do best with a single adult or couple. I have not seen him around young kids. Oakley enjoys daily play with me, walks in the woods, riding in the car, laying in the sunshine, and playing with doggie friends. He comes with 2XLRG crates, 1 folding travel crate, 1 mesh platform, 1XLRG pillow bed for winter, dishes/leashes/brushes. DNA test on hand.

Story
Apollo is 9 years old and loves to be outside as much as possible. I have a wireless fence I will give to you he is a very sweet dog but he is hyper at times and sometimes anxious. We would let him stay outside during the day but let him sleep in the house at night.
