Story
Layla is 4 years old and is a very sweet girl. She has undergone training and knows how to sit, lay down, give her paw, go to your bed/crate, and is leashed trained. Layla is very energetic and though she is friendly and good with kids would do best in a home where she is the only dog and no kids due to her being too energetic. She loves cuddles, playing fetch, and loves Stuffed toys and blankets she can nibble on. She also has 10 free group training classes available. We are saddened to have to rehome her but we are downsizing and she won’t have the space she needs and requires.

Story
Hello, this is Ellie a 6 month old American Bully XL. We had her since she was 2 months old, she gets along with kids great. She is a good girl but due to having a busy schedule and not having the space wide enough for her since she is growing and we cant make the fence higher due to the trailer park rules we have to rehome her. Somewhere where she can have the space and the time they can give her. She is well behaved and still have time to train her. Shes potty trained to go outside the house to do her business. She loves to give kisses,cuddles and belly rubs. She is crate trained, will go inside her crate if you are around. She is very playful and loves to play tug of war. She goes with her crate, her orthopedic xl bed, and everything we have bought for her.

Story
Found this sweet girl abandoned in my neighborhood. She’s about 9/10 months old and weighs 38lbs. Super friendly and energetic. Very smart and catches on quick. She is spayed and shots are up to date. No health issues. As far as behavior goes, she is cautious when meeting new people and pets. Takes her a while to warm up to people unless you have a treat in your hand. Hasn’t shown any aggression towards either humans or dogs. I don’t think she’ll do great with cats or small pets (has a prey drive). She will do good with someone who is patient and likes to test her intelligence. Is currently living with older dogs and does well with them. She will need some basic training and leash etiquete.

We have children under 2 and he does really good around them. We will hand over his belongings if you’d like, bed, water bowls and toys. Willing to dog sit for free if new owner goes on vacations or something like that.

Story
Hello friends! I'm Star, a 6-year-old looking for my forever family. I prefer dogs my size and adore my foster sisters, but no small dogs, cats, or children under 12, please. While my crate is not my best friend, I am learning to love it because it means food, which I adore. I bond quickly and would thrive in a home where we can be together most of the time. I am highly intelligent and learn quickly, so I need a savvy adopter who understands me. I do best with a routine, which helps me feel safe and happy. My foster family says I am the best snuggler, and I dream of cuddling and never feeling lonely again. Could you be my forever home?
