Story
I got my dog in Ohio, and he was born on June 22, 2022. He is very energetic, loves being outside, and enjoys playing and staying active. He is extremely friendly and loves people, often jumping up to greet them out of excitement. Because of my busy schedule, I’m looking for a home where he can get more time, attention, and exercise. He would do best with an active person or family who can play with him and continue his training. He is a loving, playful, and happy dog.

Story
Junior is almost 6 years old and is crate trained. He isn't neutered so not good with other dogs . Doesn't potty in the house but isn't left out of crate too long either so some extra work may be needed. I am now a single person that works 40 to 60 hours a week and can no longer give him the time he deserves. I feel with the right type of home and person he would be an excellent addition to a family or person. He is so lovable and just needs a chance to live a normal dog life. Instead of constantly being in a crate/ dog pin . I believe he would be good with kids although mine are grown he is so friendly and lovable ❤️. I believe he would make a good family dog. Please if interested 🙏 let me know . # Junior needs a forever home.

Story
We adopted Mance, then a young puppy, in 2019 from a shelter--he is now seven, well into his middle-age. Mance has been a wonderful pet--he is watchful, goofy, playful, and very loyal to his people. He is also quite afraid of the unfamiliar, which can translate into territoriality and protectiveness. For most of his life, he lived in a quiet setting with a set routine in which he flourished. When we moved to live with family in a much larger space with much more change, he became quite territorial, which translated into unexpected behavioral problems. We believe that a quiet, stable, and routine-driven household would be ideal for him. He gets along great with other dogs, both male and female, and he has been habituated to cats before. He is generally wary around children, particularly those who are loud and unpredictable. In the right setting Mance is perfect for someone who wants an affectionate, medium active, and larger companion, and who has experience owning a higher needs dog.

Story
A VERY loving pup. She LOVES to cuddle, play, and chew her toys. She LOVES kids and other animals. Hazel is crate trained if she has a bark collar on, but without it, she will bark. She is potty trained and close to being “free” in the house without the crate - being only 10 months old, she still chews occasionally. The largest issue is she is codependent. Hazel struggles to “go outside” without someone with her. She will jump a fence to get to her “owner”. If she is not going outside with a leash, you would have to have a 6’ privacy fence or else she will jump it and chance running away, until trained. Hazel is truly a gem and our family loves her. Due to work schedules and proper fencing, she is not best suited for our family at this time. We know she will love a home with another dog that she can play with, and even children, as we have both. Hazel does get car sick, due to the motion, but she’s only in a car to go to the vet, so that was not an issue for us.
