Story
Meet "Meli Lani" a super smart, loyal, devoted, loving, energetic, obedient, well-behaved happy girl. She especially loves to bond with that one special person, and is very sensitive to your feelings.  If you're looking for that special companion to spend time with, she's especially loyal and devoted, to that one person, but has plenty of fun with the rest of the family and friends. She loves to travel, ride in the car, and has plenty of energy for adventures, such as hiking, camping, etc. She is house-trained, quiet with good manners.  She's part of a special rescue program from Hawaii. There were many loving pets either lost or left behind, during the recent Kilauea Volcano eruption, which added to the huge problem Hawaii has with uncared for and mistreated pets. We were lucky enough to be a part of helping Meli-Lani have a 2nd chance to give a family all her love and devotion.  She is 3 1/2 yrs. old, 50 lbs., has all shots, spayed, microchipped.

Story
Persephone is a very loving and gentle dog in need of a loving furever home. My husband and I have helped several abandoned dogs and 1 cat find new homes but due to our new very busy schedules we don't have the time anymore. Persephone also had 10 pups in need of new homes we don't want to take them to the pound but will be forced to if we can't find them homes 😞 she is great with children and people of all ages as we do have 2 toddlers who she is great with. She is good with other dogs but not cats.

Story
Otto is 5.5 year old male pit bull. He is my sons dog but has been living at my house for about 5 months now. My son relocated for work and can’t have a dog at his apt. While my son was in the army he and his wife moved quite often and joseph was also on deployment for months at a time. My sons wife fostered dogs as well so there were dogs constantly coming and going. Not an overly stable life for Otto. Otto is a shy dog when you first meet him. It takes him a while to warm up to you. He enjoys his walks and hiking as well as cuddling with you on the couch. He’d love to sleep on the bed with you if allowed to. He chases the ball or just carries it with him when out and about. He loves attention! He knows all his commands and listens very well. When walking he stays right next to your side. Otto gets along great with big dogs but not small dogs or cats. Otto would do best in a home with no small animals or children. He’s a very loyal dog and would be your best friend!
