Story

Didi came to our family as a puppy. She is very loving to the entire family, including extended family members and friends she is familiar with. As she matured, she developed a keen sense of loyalty, territory, and protectiveness. She is faithful to a fault, funny, loyal and loving to the ultimate extreme. She loves a good soccer scrimmage and will tease you with the ball until she decides that playtime is over and will walk away. Her game, her terms. Didi is a natural hunter. No small critters, including cats, are safe around her. She is very athletic and will catch birds in the air as they fly to the bird feeder. Her sense of protectiveness has made Didi a liability around large dogs, men, and anyone she perceives to be threatening. She turns aggressive very quickly and is very purposeful in her protective stance. She has not ever bitten a human but we avoid the opportunity at all costs. Curiously, she loves her vet and veterinary team and has no problems when we board her.

Story

He’s approx 2 years old. They said he’s a lab mix but he doesn’t look anything like a lab to me. He’s good with other dogs once he knows them. He’s also good with cats and kids. He’s def a good watch dog. Protective. Will sit right at your feet and walks around with a security blanket like a toddler lol. I have a 9 year old. The issues are that I don’t have enough time to train him and he currently spends a lot of time in a cage due to urinating in the house repeatedly and my long work hours. I love him to death and this is a very difficult thing to do but it’s for the best for him.

Story

Pancake is my sister’s dog. I am unsure of where my father got Pancake but he got her right after I moved out so about November of 2018. I do think that Pancake has gotten her shots but I will not be able to acquire paperwork. Pancake is about 1 year old and is very energetic like most puppies. She is still growing so she will get a little bit bigger than what she is now. Pancake wants to be on your lap and in your face all the time. She likes to think she is a lap dog and wants to give you kisses all day long. Pancake and Marshmallow have bonded with each other so strongly that when they ran away both the first and second time under my fathers and sister’s care they stayed together and went to another house when they were ready to come home. I really hope these dogs can stay together and find someone who can take care of them the way they need.

Story

Looking to re-home our lovable Zoe ! She is about 4 years old . I am unsure if she's up to date on her shots . I have had Zoe for about a year now , she was given to me from a friend's sister . I was told that she had one litter in her lifetime & is still currently not fixed ! She is potty trained . She does amazing with children (I have three , with my youngest being 2yrs) ! . She does well with cats unfortunately she is not good with other dogs ! I'm looking for someone that is ready to have a lifelong companion . Preferably a fenced-in yard or a big running area would be amazing ! Zoey is one of the most unique dogs I've ever had . For being an adult dog when I got her I was nervous and hesitant with her being around the kids due to the" bad name " people give pitbulls ! after about a week of her getting comfortable and getting to know us she became an instant part of the family ! She is very good with the commands sit, stay, go . Another great thing about her is she is very quiet
