Story
Brady is between 10-12 years old. He has been an amazing companion for his aging owner, and even cuddled with her through her last few days. He loves to sit on laps, and would be a great companion for a quiet person who just need someone to sit with them. He is very sociable and friendly. He's taken good care of his mom for years, now he needs someone who will give him lots of love.

Story
I have had Lola for 10 years. She’s the best dog! Lazy but also loves to go for walks and play tug of war. I’m a single mom with two babies and just moved into an apartment from a house. I have health issues and keep having surgery. It’s gasses for me to take her potty let alone a walk. She needs a good loving home that can give her C the attention she deserves. It breaks my heart but she deserves more than I can give her right now

Story
Ella was adopted as a rescue from a local shelter in 2016. At the time it was evident that Ella had already carried puppies. We were unsure of her age, but assume approximately 2 years. That makes her now roughly 10-12 years old. We have done DNA testing and Ella has a little bit of everything as a part of her make up! Ella does not have any health issues & does not have any history of health concerns. Her DNA test came back negative for any degenerative concerns. Ella is a very sweet dog and has a caring temperament. Ella is full of energy all the time and maintains a pretty steady level of anxiety. She has been trained & exercised consistently. Ella sleeps in her kennel ~10 hours/night. We are only interested in adopting Ella to someone who has time to give her exercise and loving care. We love Ella a lot, but her needs exceed what we are able to provide as we have other pets and young children. Ella is comfortable staying at a boarding facility when we travel & enjoys other dogs.

Story
I call him D. He is a wonderful, friendly dog. I believe he is 12 years old. I adopted him when he was approximately one year-old from the SPCA. He does have a growth right next to his penis, but when the vet saw him recently, he did not seem concerned. He did have diarrhea about two months ago, so we took him to the vet and ran all kinds of blood tests to the tune of about $450. The vet said everything came back negative. He was perfectly healthy. He has always had very long nails that are hard to keep up with. I have to surrender him because of health reasons. I cannot take him out anymore, and I can’t afford to pay someone to do it. It breaks my heart. Because he is a wonderful dog.!
