Story
Rhea is a sweet and loving babygirl! I have had her since she was 7 weeks old. At the time when I bought her I had a 1/2 yard however has to move to a smaller house with a smaller yard. My current neighbor has been giving me nothing but trouble, he does not like my dogs. They are good dogs. I work full time and am tired of dealing with animal control. I take good care of them, they are up to date on everything and well loved however in order to avoid dealing with my neighbor my huskies are reduced to my tiny front porch and that is no way for them to live. They deserve better and the room to run and be huskies. I have placed Rheas brother already now I need to place her. I do not want money. I just want someone to be honest and only take her on if she will have a yard and space to run and will be loved in a forever home. I work for a vet so she has been well cared for and I can provide all her records. I do not want to part with her but I know that she deserves so much better!

Story
Life circumstances led to my family moving in with me with 4 dogs and a cat. But Charlie cant be kept with the yellow lab because he doesn’t like male dogs. But he loves people and Ruby, the female he’s been bonded with for 10 years. He is a sweet dog and is a DREAM to take to vet visits. He stays outside but is trained to an indoor crate. He LOVES his chest rubs and would be a GREAT companion for an older person.

Story
We rescued Mica in 2014 when she was a puppy. She is a sweetheart, who loves attention, scratches behind the ear, and playing fetch for hours. We are expecting twins in March 2020, and we will not be able to maintain the quality of life she deserves. She is insecure and timid, and can be possessive of items and people. Therefore, an ideal situation would be for her to be part of a currently pet-free home. She has an enormous capacity for love, and her loyalty in unmatched. She loves being outdoors and hiking, but also loves to cuddle on the couch. Mica is very intelligent, is house trained, and can sit, lay down, shake, and bark on command. All of her shots are up to date, and her regular vet check ups show she's always been in good health. Rehoming Mica is one of the most difficult things we've had to do, but we know it's what's best for her and our growing family. If you are able to receive love, Mica is more than willing to give it.

Athena was dumped at the Shelter with nothing but a collar and tag that said emotional support dog. No one claimed her. Loretta her foster mom pulled her from the shelter and has had her for a few weeks now. Athena has passed all her temperament tests with flying colors. She is a very well mannered dog. She would do well in a family with children or a single person. She is very fit and would also make for a great hiking and back packing dog too. She is five years young. Athena is a total love bug, she is always up for some loving. She walks like a pro on leash. She ignores barking dogs, and stays focused on guardian. Athena is looking for her forever home that lets her inside, spends time with her, and falls thoroughly in love with her. Her adoption fee is $125, Up to date on shots and microchipped. Call or text Loretta 909.561.3399 or Lramaro@hotmail.com
