Story
This pup is 8.5 years old and has a lot of love to give. We wouldn't say he's not good with kids because that would be super unfair to Plagueis, but his patience with our growing family has run thin, and he, fairly, becomes agitated when inside with our toddlers. Plagueis expresses his disdain for lack of attention and sharing his space with a mountain of paw patrol toys by being a bit of a recluse, which isn't his typical personality. We're looking for a happy home for Plagueis- this decision doesn't come lightly, but we don't think it's fair to continue to present him with a situation that he is uncomfortable in and that we surely can't resolve. An ideal family for Plagueis would not have small children in the house (Plaguies loves visitors!), and have no other cats or dogs. Plagueis has happily shared our yard with friends' dogs and peacefully co-exists with our six chickens, but it does take him time to warm up--- he's not a dog park guy.

Story
Meet Kutty and Bluey, two adorable brothers who are inseparable and ready to bring joy and love to the perfect home. These two have grown up together and share an incredibly strong bond, making them a dynamic duo who enjoy each other’s company more than anything. Kutty, the playful and affectionate black-and-white pup, loves to be around people and is always excited to meet new friends. He’s active and full of energy, often seen playing with squeaky toys or running around in the backyard. He’s a gentle spirit who thrives on attention and affection from his human family, and he’s always ready to cuddle after a fun play session. Bluey, with his sweet gray-and-white coat, is equally affectionate but has a calm, laid-back side. He enjoys playing gently and learning new tricks with treats. Bluey is a quiet companion who, like his brother, loves cuddling up on the couch and being near the people he adores. He is calm and relaxed, often curling up next to Kutty during nap time, but don’t let that fool you—he has bursts of energy when it’s time for outdoor fun! Both of these charming boys adore children and love to run around, play, and be part of the family. They’re affectionate, friendly, and eager to please. Whether it's playing with kids, lounging around with the family, or simply enjoying time together, they offer unconditional love and companionship. Kutty and Bluey are looking for a loving home with a family that has plenty of space for them to run and play, preferably with a fenced-in backyard. They’re used to a routine that includes daily walks, playtime, and naps, and they would thrive in a home where they can be cherished and cared for as much as they care for you. These two brothers are a bonded pair, and it would be wonderful for them to find a home together, though they might adjust well if separated. If you're ready to open your heart and home to these sweet boys, you’ll be rewarded with their endless affection and loyalty. They promise to bring joy, laughter, and a lot of love into your life!

Story
Age:   approx 7 years old  (both) Weight: 12 lbs (Prince)  10 lbs (Princess) My adoption fee is $ 995  which includes transportation charges to the Northeast. Prince and Princess are a bonded pair and will be adopted together.   Both are very affectionate and very sweet. They play outside with the others, and love running in the yard. Potty and crate trained. They are always together, share a kennel, and have their own bowls, but eat each other's bowls. Very adorable pair. Now that their hair is grown, they look a lot like it but she’s a smaller size. She’s a sweetheart. She gives kisses and wants to be held. He also does a lot of kisses and affectionate.
