Story
Sweetie was born on January 21, 2025, in Kingman, Kansas, alongside her sister. She came to me after a family member was no longer able to keep her. She is very energetic, affectionate, and loves to cuddle. She gets along great with other dogs, both big and small, and spent her first seven months living with a three-year-old child, so she is comfortable around young kids. She is loyal, playful, and loves being around people. She can be a little nervous around things that move unexpectedly, like tree branches blowing in the wind, but her sweet personality shines through. She would do well in a home that can give her plenty of love, attention, and playtime.

Story
He was abandoned in our area and chose to stay at our house for awhile before we decided to take him in. He loves to play fetch and loves his toys but can be possessive, acting almost baby-like. We are not too sure of his age but estimated that he is anywhere from 2-5 years old. All and all he's been a great protector for our home and is best friends with our cats. We ultimately would love a home for him in which can provide a better life and is able to give the care we sadly cannot.

Story
He is about 4 to 5years old. I got him from the pound he gets finicky he doesn’t really like crates. He is a good guard dog very loyal, but I don’t think he’s a good for owner with kids so maybe if you like one person or a couple with no children looking for a loyal and caring, loving pet. He is the one for you. I want him to go somewhere where he can be himself and not get anxiety from children he did have a bit of a food aggression, but we kind of got past that. I don’t know how that work now. I do think he resource guard so if you have any experience or you don’t mind this, please let me know.
