Story

Mooki is a sweet loving 3 year old mix. She lives with 2 other small dogs, my wife and I. She knows basic commands. Very healthy. Excellent at fetch. Likes running and playing. She is timid around big dogs and other people. Not aggressive. Since we moved into RV she is having trouble with her potty training. We got her when she was 8 weeks old. She is a daddy’s girl. If she had her way she would sit on my lap all the time with me scratching her head and chest. Do not want to give her up. She is such a sweetheart. But health issues, financial struggles and moving into a RV she does not get the attention she deserves. Please consider Mooki for your new pet.

Luna was rescued by the Sonoma County Animal Services from an abusive owner. She is 1 year 10 months. Her bday is October 25th. She has a skin allergy and requires daily itch medication. She's is a ver loving dog but she is also extremely energetic. She has developed fear aggression if she feels threatened. She will require training to reverse it. She loves wearing t-shirts, which help her allergies. She loves playing with everything and everyone. She likes to be called Lulu, peanut and Lulu bella. She loves snuggling and taking LOTS of naps. We love her so much but just can't afford her anymore. We hope to find an older couple with love and time for a troubled dog who just need love and understanding.
