Story
Freeze is a young border collie mix around 2 years old and 35lbs. She is happy to coexist with other dogs and seems to be best suited for a laid back dog that’s larger than she is. She would also thrive in a home as a solo companion with her person. Freeze is potty trained, crate trained, and overall a well mannered girl. Shes shy with new people, but does warm up pretty easily once in a comfortable space. She enjoys walks and playing fetch with her person.Freeze is fully vetted and ready to find her new home!

Story
Gus is 11 years old. He has quite a bit of energy for an 11 year old. He is fully house trained and can sit, shake, and lay down on command. Falling on hard times, we had to move to an apartment complex. This complex does not allow German shepherds in any sort. They will not let us keep him. I have asked family and friends but no one can afford a pet right now. This is my second to last option before I send him to a shelter. Gus loves to be outside and run around. He loves to play with other dogs and gets along great with just about anyone. He has a protective side as well. He has been very loyal to our family.

Story
I am looking to re-home our 4-year-old Border Collie/German Shepherd mix, Mack. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention (all completed 8/26). We are making the very difficult decision to find him a loving family where he can be the only dog or with other dogs that don't mind his herding instinct. Our special needs daughter has had worsening behaviors over the past year and qualifies for a service dog, but Mack has a strong herding instinct and keeps trying to boss everyone, lol. We have spent six months working on this, including training and daycare, but have decided this transition is best for everyone.Mack is:• Neutered/ microchipped• Up to date on all vaccinations• House trained• Great with young and older children• Very patient, loving, kindMack is absolutely wonderful with people! He is a patient and loving companion who does great with children of all ages. However, he does not do well with cats.💰 Rehoming fee: $25

Story
Meet Sweet Dolly! Dolly's story didn't start the way every puppy's should. She came from an Amish puppy mill, where her interactions with people were very limited. But now, in her loving foster home, Dolly is discovering just how wonderful the world-and people-can be. Dolly is looking for a patient and understanding family who will give her the time she needs to continue learning and gaining confidence. In return, she has SO much love to give! Once Dolly gets to know you, there is nothing she loves more than settling in for a good belly rub. She absolutely loves other dogs! Playing outside is her favorite thing ever! She is working hard on her potty training and doing well. Her crate is her safe space when she feels unsure or overwhelmed. She sleeps comfortably in her crate at night, although I have a feeling that with time, she may decide sleeping next to her favorite human is even better! Dolly may need a little extra patience, but watching her blossom is incredibly rewarding. She is learning that hands can be gentle, people can be trusted, and life can be filled with love, belly rubs, playtime, and a family of her very own. If you have room in your heart for a sweet girl who just needs someone to believe in her, Dolly might be your perfect match.

I adopted Titus from a family friend when he was about 3 months old. He is now about nine months old. He is a hyper boy and loves to play around. Unfortunately, I do not have the time or space to keep up with his energy currently. He loves going outside for walks, will play around with any animals. He loves to jump on people. He also loves ice cubes, lol.

Story
Hudson came to us last October after an adopter failed to show at the end of a transport. After living for years in a home with domestic abuse, he needed time to decompress and rebuild trust. With patience and structure, Hudson has made wonderful progress and continues to gain confidence. Hudson is very dog friendly and lives comfortably with our pack. A home with another stable dog would be ideal for him. He has not been tested with cats. Hudson will do best in a quiet adult home with no children and a predictable routine. Because he is a Blue Heeler, experience with heelers or other herding breeds is required. He is a loyal, intelligent dog who will thrive with the right person and environment. • 8 yr old male Blue Heeler • Dog friendly • No kids • Not cat tested • Herding breed experience required
