Story
Bruno is the sweetest dog you could ever ask for, full of personality, always ready for an adventure, and loves to cuddle. You will never meet another dog like him. Bruno is a true companion and has shown me what it means to have a best friend. Bruno has no experience with kids, but I can confidently say that he absolutely loves to learn. He has completed two training classes good dog 101, and good dog 201. He is a high maintenance dog with behavioral training. He loves other dogs, cats and can’t get enough of people. Bruno will steal your heart with his puppy dog eyes. He has a vary quirky personality. He is kennel trained, house trained, and loves loose leash walking. His absolute favorite is frisbee fetch, and his favorite treats are blueberries!

Story
Meeko is a very loving dog! He is will be 8 this year. He seeks attention and does wonderful with kids. He allows you to pet and hug him even while he eats. Never shown aggression towards a person. The reason we are trying to find him a home is because we have another large dog in the house and it has been a struggle to keep them both. They don’t get along and Meeko is more dominate. Meeko needs more attention than we can give him. We believe Meeko would do great in a one pet home, I’m sure if you have a cat it would be fine. It’s more other dogs living in his home. He is very protective to his humans and has never shown aggression when out on a walk. We just want him to go to a loving home.

Story
We received Copper from a friend after he had to move, and we just don’t have the time or money he deserves. He is 12 years old, very energetic (almost too energetic), potty trained, loves kids, playing, and treats. He would come with everything needed to care for him (a bed, food, toys, leash/collar, and shampoo/conditioner).

Story
Rufus is an amazing and friendly pure bred rough collie. He was born in Arkansas on 11 Nov 2014 and has made moves with us to Texas, Alabama, and Alaska. Rufus loves Alaska but we currently have military orders to move to Okinawa, Japan. We do not want to put him through the long travel, quarantine, heat, and small living conditions. We also have three little kids now and he deserves more attention. Rufus is sweet, loves people, loves to play, and is very obedient. He is a great family dog and was professionally trained at a retriever complex as a puppy. He responds to verbal commands and hand signs. He lives indoors with us and stands at the back door when he needs to use the bathroom. We will miss Rufus but think it is best for him to have a family that can give him the attention he deserves.

Story
Sadie is a 2 1/2 year old hound mix. She is a very sweet and affectionate lady. She listens very well and knows basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, shake and leave it. She is amazing on leash and would be an awesome hiking partner. She is kennel trained but needs a strong kennel she is not a big fan of them but will kennel when asked. She is also not destructive if left out. She loves her people of all sizes great with kids and babies. She is also good with friendly dogs. She does need a home without cats and other small animals. Because of her breed she naturally has a high prey drive. Don’t miss out on meeting this sweet girl she is an amazing family dog but would also be a great adventure companion.
