Story

We have had Ace for 4 years. He was 11 months when we adopted him. The dog is a good dog. But he was attack several times at our appointment complex by other dogs. Now he doesn’t do well with other dogs he sees. He tolerates our other dog Dexter but he gets dominant. He also resource guards his food and toys and sometimes his humans. We love Ace. Doing this is breaking my heart. But he deserves better than us. We have given him all that we could. But he needs a person that will take the time to train him better. We have several people sick in the home. And at the same time, we have to work to afford life. So Ace doesn’t get the training he deserves. He has behavior problems. He has bitten us before while guarding his food. He doesn’t like strangers. We do not know what to do. We just want what is best for him. He deserves better.

Story

I acquired Klaus from a family friend who was moving to Japan. We are unsure of his exact age but think it is around 12/13. He loves to go outside and still has lots of energy. He does have some trouble hearing at times but does listen to some commands. I am hoping his new home will offer a loving environment where he can play and take all the sunbathing naps he wants. Overall Klaus is a very happy dog.

Story

Meet Little Bear! This gorgeous German Shepherd is is growing incredibly fast. She is expected to be a large dog (maybe XL!) but is incredibly loving and loves to play with toys. She does a cute little spin when she is excited. In her foster home Little Bear is eager to learn and is working diligently on her potty training. She would love nothing more than to find a family to call her own. LB loves all people and gets along well with her foster siblings too. She will be a large dog so it is recommended that the adopter have experience with the German Shepherd breed. She will need space to run and play so apartment living isn't for her. Little Bear 's Adoption fee is $450 and includes spay, microchip and current vaccinations.

Story

How this pet arrived: Avalanche was brought in by a community member on January 23, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Avalanche-the canine equivalent of a confetti cannon! This happy-go-lucky pup comes with an unstoppable tail wag, a megawatt grin, and a love for attention that rivals a reality TV star. He's all about pets, praise, and possibly trying to climb into your lap (whether he fits or not). His excitement levels sometimes override his manners-think over-caffeinated intern on their first day-so he's still perfecting the art of not jumping for joy. If you're in need of a four-legged mood booster who thinks every day is the best day ever, Avalanche is your guy. Don't forget to bring a leash and collar-this party pup is ready to roll!
