Story
Judah has always been a great addition to our family, recently he has developed multiple behavior issues which we think have to do with my recent pregnancy. He was fully potty trained but recently he has had problems with that. He does however know sit, stay, shake with both paws, high five, lay down, and how to hug. He generally sleeps in the bed with me and my boyfriend but will occasionally run off to the living room. Whenever we are home he has no behavioral issues at all but once we leave he sometimes breaks out of the kennel and makes messes.

Story
We took groots mom in not knowing she was pregnant. We where able to home all of the puppies except for groot and his sister oreo. They have always been together and need each other. Oreo looks after and takes care of her brother. Groot is not the smartest dog but he is a big baby to us. He does not realize how big he is. He does not like other dogs or people he does not know. He is easily spooked and pees when he is scared or thinks he is getting in trouble. We are not able to afford him and his sister and to give them the proper care that they deserve. They are very loving dogs to people they know and love.

Story
Beau is a rescue. A girl found him walking in a parking lot dragging a heavy chain still attached to his neck. He was clearly malnourished. She took him home. My wife and I saw her post online and quickly agreed to foster him and get him healthy again. We believe that Beau is a Labrador/Great Dane mix and is about a year old. He is just a big loveable guy. He is great with kids, cats and other dogs, including small dogs. We are hoping to help him find a forever family with people that love him as much as we do.

Story
Bella is a 2 1/2 year old sweet Boston Terrier mix. I found her in California when I lived there. I found her owner 2 weeks later but she ran away again to come back to my home. Owner was having mental issues and could not train her. So decided to keep her. I have had her now for 6 months and I have not been successful in training her to fit my family. She is a very happy, over excited dog that loves kids..and deals with my 4 cats non violently( ignores them). She rarely barks and is house trained. She is not destructive...but is very hyper and needs more one on one time than I can offer. She loves men due to the previous owner was a young male. We love her but I can see and feel that she wants more attention than we can give her due to working and busy with my toddlers. She gets lots of attention due to her beauty and loves anyone and everyone.

Story
We took in Oreos mom not knowing she was pregnant. We where able to find homes for all of the puppies except for oreo and her brother groot. Oreo and her brother have always been together and must remain together. She looks after and takes care of her brother. She is a very smart dog. I wish we had the time to trainer her.she does like to bark and talk back to you. She likes to have her tummy rubbed and she will let you know when she wants it done and she will let you know if you are not doing it right. She does not like people or dogs she does not know and is very protective of her family and house. But she is a big baby to us. I love them and do not one to see them go but we can not afford them and give them the care that they deserve. I just want to know that her and her brother will stay together and go to a good loving home that will give the patience and love they deserve
