Story
I’ve had AK since he was 6 weeks old. I got him while living in TN. He came along with his littermate/brother. I’ve always called him my shadow puppy. He’s subtle and reserved. A little anxious but all the way cuddly. He’s beautiful and gets compliments every time he goes out. He’s good on leash (will stubbornly linger to sniff stuff). He likes to have his paw held - it puts him right to sleep. And when he decides to be playful, he’s tons of fun! He’s big and built like a brick house so in his excitement he might accidentally knock you over but he’ll always check on you and give you kisses to make sure you’re ok. I’m giving him away because a few weeks ago he had an aggressive incident. I was hoping it would was isolated (because it was very random) but a pattern of behavior has emerged. I know he can be trained out of this but I simply can’t make it work while another dog is in the home. He needs a low stimuli environment with lots of attention and care. Someone experienced.

Story
His name is mojo he is 6 years old and is fixed. He does need to get all his shots again I will make sure everything is up to date. I’m looking for a loving home for him someone that can give him all the time in the world. He needs to be retrained with going on walks. He loves to be outside so a fenced in yard is a plus . Not sure how he is with other animals or kids. He gets a little scared around people he doesn’t know so he tends to bark but once he gets to know your okay he will be so loving and playful with you. He just needs one on one with someone to relearn everything

Story
Bianca is a loyal, lovable, energetic, playful and all around great companion. She needs to find a home where she is the only dog and will be loved by her humans both young and adult. She plays well with other dogs in a neutral area, but gets protective of her people and toys in her own home. She would live her best life with a large fenced yard or 2 long walks per day. She loves to lap snuggle and burry her nose under a blanket.

Story
Eli is 3 years old, his birthday is October 26. He is a loving and caring dog! He isn’t fixed so he is hyper but not always. (I Will have him fixed before he gets adopted) Gets super excited when he meets new people ! I brought him with me from Arizona, I’ve had him ever since he was 4 weeks old ! I house trained him, he does not have accidents, does not bite or chew on things, he is crate trained. He knows all of his commands, such as Sit, lay down, bark, stay, roll over, go , wait. From a bad experience with my sister he does not like cats, maybe that can change I haven’t tried? For the most part he gets along with other dogs, he was attacked by two dogs last summer and still has trauma from then but manages fine with my sisters dogs. The only problem with him is that he gets overly excited seeing people he tends to jump, not knowing his own strength! I am full time student and worker and I don’t have time to train him any more he is need of a good home! He is great with kids !
