Labradoodle and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Zuma & Bella 🐾

Zuma is 4 years old and Bella is 3 years old. Their story is one that truly pulls at our heartstrings.

First and foremost — please, no negative comments. Their mom loves them deeply. She was faced with working 16-hour days to support her children, and she made the incredibly difficult decision to find them a home where they could receive the time and attention they deserve.

These two were cherished. Every night, they had chicken and vegetables added to their kibble. They’re used to treats, affection, and being part of a family. This was not a decision made lightly — it was made out of love.

Zuma and Bella:
✔️ Get along great with other dogs
✔️ Do well with kids
✔️ Are good with cats
✔️ Are potty trained
✔️ Love their treats
✔️ Give the BEST hugs
✔️ Have been well socialized

Right now, we are still determining whether they are bonded or would be okay placed separately. We will be testing for that.

What we do know is this: they deserve a special family who will continue the love and care they’ve always known.

If you can offer that, please apply at:
