Story
Luna is almost 1 year old. She loves the attention and being outside. She gets along with every type of dog, if she sees someone who she doesn't recognize she will bark a bit. She is very alarmed. My husband and I, can no longer have her due to having 2 jobs. She is always at home and we really want for her to have someone who can take care of her and put her as their priority.

Story
Paco is currently 10 months old. My husband and I adopted him when he was only a few weeks. He has always been a very playful and loving puppy. Paco eventually moved outside to the backyard with our other Pitbull. Shes an 8 year old female, extremely sweet and obedient. They were doing great, playing together all the time, hanging out and doing what most dogs do. Until about a month ago we started seeing changes in Mr Paco. He got extremely dominant and territorial with food and with human interaction. He started attacking our female dog, Luna. we are sad and cant find a reason as to why hes been behaving this way. We have tried many things, feeding them apart, giving them their own individual attention but he still acts this way. We hate to get rid of him but my husband is currently working long hours and i am pregnant. We hope to find him a forever home who gives him solely the attention he needs and wants. Paco has never attempted to bite or attack humans.

Story
We went to a local pound to find a puppy and I instantly fell in love with Ruth. She was very sweet and very thin and very timid. She had very sweet eyes and even though she was not a puppy I wanted to bring her home. She came home with us on December 3rd, 2018. she was able to gain a healthy amount of weight and became a very happy dog. We have children and another dog and she gets along with everybody. We travel a lot and it's very hard to find a good pet sitter so we are trying to re-home both dogs

Story
Ninja is about 3 years old. He is from a shelter since he is 5 month old. He is housebroken and follows well. Unfortunately he does not seem to cope well with a busy household and is very stressed. I hope for him to find a home that is calm. He is a cattle breed with high energy, very protective and good hunting instinct.

Story
This puppers is so sweet and loving. She just needs more ways to burn her energy off than I can provide due to hectic work schedules. She is smart. Able to be trained. Potty trained and crate trained. She loves walks or runs and anything outside. Does well on leash or harness. Also does well in a comfy bed with a human!!!! I’m not sure but I think she will do exceptionally well with another dog. She is submissive as far as I can see!!! Love her so much!!! Anyone would be blessed to have Corvina join their family!! She is a people dog and will follow you throughout the entire house like a shadow. She loves getting chased and will grab her toys or bones and run like lightning in hopes that you chase her. While watching movies in the living room she crawls on my lap and lays there the whole movie. Completely kennel trained and goes in kennel every night to sleep and goes in kennel while we are at work for up to 8 hours and doesn’t potty. Is up to date on heartworm medicine and frontlin
