Story
Teeter is from Rio's first and only litter of pups. She was born in February 2022 and is a great dog. She is laid back, sweet, gentle, loving, basically the opposite of Rio. Our only complaint about Teeter is that she likes to dig holes in the yard. We would love to see them adopted together! They get along great and would probably do best if they were the only dogs. We hate to keep both dogs in their kennels all day while we are at work, but we live in town and cannot keep them outside all day. We would love to see them go to a farm where they can run free or go to a home where they can be inside dogs. Our lifestyles have just become too busy to give them the proper attention and love they deserve.

Story
We purchased Rio through a local breeder in October 2019. She is Teeter's mom and we would love to see them get adopted together. Rio is very high strung / high energy and is a good dog, but we do not feel right about having to keep them both in their kennels all day long while we are at work. We live in town and cannot keep them outside all day. Rio can be very territorial and hates rain and storms and is a big baby when it comes to thunder. She loves to bark at the wind as well! Ideally, we would love to see them both get adopted by someone with a farm where they can run and be free or even someone who would want to keep them indoors. I feel they would thrive in either environment. We are also not able to exercise either of them like we should, so that would be a plus to find someone who can provide regular exercise. We want them to find a home where someone has the time to devote to them because they deserve a better home than what we are able to provide.

Story
Easter is bringing a whole basket full of personality… and she’s just getting started. 🐣This little red heeler mix is as cute as they come, but don’t let that sweet face fool you—Easter is packed with the brains, drive, and energy that working breeds are known for. With a full-blooded red heeler mom and a dad believed to be a heeler/lab or aussie/lab mix, she’s got a whole lot of “let’s go do something!” in her future.At just 6 weeks old (as of 3/25), Easter is still a tiny nugget, but she’ll be ready to hop into her forever home after 4/8 when she turns 8 weeks old.Because of her breed mix, Easter will need a home that understands what makes dogs like her tick. She is **not** a good fit for first-time or beginner dog owners. Easter is looking for a family with heeler or working dog experience—someone ready to commit to training, structure, and plenty of physical and mental exercise. These dogs don’t just want a backyard… they want a *job*, a purpose, and a partner.With the right guidance, Easter has all the potential in the world to grow into an incredibly loyal, intelligent, and fun companion. She’s the kind of dog who will keep you on your toes, make you laugh daily, and form a deep, lasting bond with her people.Easter isn’t just a puppy—she’s a project, a partner, and a whole lot of promise wrapped up in one adorable package.
