Story
Joe is a Chocolate Lab mix with what I expect is Pitbull. I purchased him from a family on Craigslist when he was around 6 weeks old. He is both one of the most loving dogs I have ever met and also one of the most energetic. He follows you around the house all day and will rarely leave your side. Given the opportunity, will always snuggle in bed or on the couch. His energy levels, even at 4 and 1/2 years old, are still rather high. He is extremely rambunctious when seeing people come home or visitors arrive until he has had some time to be let out side to work through his excitement. This excitement translates to other dogs and is extremely excited to make new friends. However, he can be quite overwhelming for other dogs, since he was never taught he to play while respecting boundaries. While I love Joe endlessly, I am looking to move across the country to explore a new career in the following years. I also know he is much better suited for someone who can provide the love he deserves

His name is Ace. He is a playful, sweet dog who loves to be rubbed and cuddled. He is excellent with children. He loves to play with toys and gets excited when he gets a new toy and loves to show everybody his toy. He just want a home that would love him, play with him and gives him lots of rubs and that’s all. It really doesn’t take much to make Ace happy.

Story
We got Jasper when he was 6 weeks old from Roanoke Spca. He has always been an inside dog but loves to play outside. Hes very sweet. He is good with older kids. He sounds ferocious but is a big teddy bear! Hes very afraid of thunder. He is crate trained. He is pad trained. He knows sit, paw, high five and lay down (sometimes). We love him very much. I recently had a knee injury and can no longer take him for walks. He needs someone who is able to take him for walks and out for runs. Oh, he also loves going for car rides! Ideally, we are looking for someone who has a yard he can play in.

Story
Bella is originally a stray, literally walked up to my parents house right off the street. When she came to us she seemed to be about 2-4 years old. Currently we are assuming she is at least 8 years old. I do not know her background but she has always had a very good temper. She is incredibly food driven, but not territorial about her food. I’ve had her around small children and other dogs and she does great. She does have cushings, so she will drink water all day long if you let her. I really hate to rehome her in her senior years, but unfortunately I am not able to let her outside multiple times a day due to my job. She is potty trained, but with her age and Cushings, she often needs to go outside. Bella does sometimes have accidents in her sleep if she did drink too much water.
