Story
My family and I have had Xena since she was about 9months old. She is now about to be 7 years old. She is very sweet and excellent with all 3 of my boys and protective. However we just moved from or home to our RV and it has been an adjustment for her. She struggles with all the unknown faces and especially all of the other dogs. Now when walking the dogs she tries to bite my husband service dog when she becomes overwhelmed with all the other people and dogs. Watching her struggle with the adjustment has been hard on us all. We have had friends bring dogs over in the past and no issues, I have taken her to my brother's house in the past he has 4 dogs and horses and she interacted just fine, but now she is started to struggle and she needs a new home asap to.provide her with lots of love and less stress. She loves to cuddle up at your feet, and watch TV. She is crate trained and house trained.

Story
My family and I rescued Bear from the Copperas Cove Animal Control Center. Bear is about 3 years old and in good health. We want to rehome him in a much more active environment because he deserves more than we can give him now. My husband and I work too much to keep up with him and our three children. Bear is such a loving boy; he loves to play, walk, and run. Bear has had some training but still needs work; he is very motivated. He will need an extra-large yard or land to explore. Bear is great around kids and very loving! We are very sad to see him go, but we know he needs more from this life than we can give him right now. (We use Taste of the Wild dog food) / (Stella & Chewy's, Honest Kitchen dog treats) We are asking $200 OBO because he is a high-maintenance breed, and we really want him to go to a good home.

Story
My family and I found Peaches abandoned on the street; she was starving, so we took her in. She is about 1 year old and just the sweetest girl. When we first rescued her, she was a bit skittish and nervous, and I'm not sure of her past. She's been more of a lap dog than a playful one; she's chill and loveable. We are very sad to see her go, but we know she deserves more. My husband and I 's work schedule is hectic, and on top of three children, we cannot give her what she needs. We do not want to keep her in a kennel because we are working or at school most of the day. It's not fair to her. Peaches needs more exercise. The food we get her is Taste of the Wild / treats are made from Honest Kitchen and Stella & Chewy's. We are asking $200 OBO because she is a high-maintenance breed, and we want her to go to a suitable home.

Story
We adopted this dog earlier this with the hope of having a family dog. Unfortunately he doesn't get what he needs from us with a lack of a back yard and us moving soon we cannot take him where we're going. Pluto is a high energy dog who loves to be outside. Pluto is a very timid dog and doesn't like being in a kennel. He is very affectionate and loves pets and treats. He is easily excitable and pees when over excited. He is partially potty trained. Needs to be taken out every 1-2 hours to avoid accidents and won't potty overnight if sleeping in the same room as you. He requires alot of time and attention. Please help us find a good home for him and God bless.
