Story
It is with a really heavy heart that we have to rehome our husky mix Walker. I posted this a few weeks ago, and still haven’t been able to find him a home. We tried to make it work with our new living situation, but unfortunately, he is a danger to our livestock. We spoke with a trainer, and due to the Husky side of him being more dominant, there isn’t a way to train it out of him. We want to keep him, but it is unfair to keep him kenneled constantly. He is not typically aggressive with his humans, and he uses a pillow like a human. He is sweet and loves to be loved on, and he is an excellent cuddle bug. He is approximately two years old, he does well with other dogs his size (at least he got along with our other dog Western). He cannot be in a home with cats or other types of animals, he needs an owner who will be able to not only train him more but also just take him on walks and love him unconditionally. He is good with kids, just is hyperactive.

Story
Altas is nearly a year old, born December 7th, 2024. I got him on Facebook as well as another dog. I got him because I was in a relationship at the time that didnt work out and even though they claimed to love him and take him, instead abandoned him and me leaving me to care for him on my own. Not an ideal situation but Atlas is a wonderful dog and deserves better love then that. He's friendly and loyal, knows how to fetch, sit, shake, and cutely puts his head on your lap if your sad and need comfort 🥹 Though I want to keep him, I cant afford to care for him. Need someone to love him just like I do and will give him a good home. Would be a great first dog too since hes still so young. Please help 🙏

Bane was brought to me by my cousin asking if i could watch him for a few days, i did, and when it came time for her to pick him back up she said she couldn’t and left back to her home state. i love bane, but my current dog does not. she does not vibe with him at all and with me being 8 months pregnant and my husband about to go on deployment, i cannot keep trying to make it work. a little about bane: Bane is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet, he loves people, dogs, children, great with cats and overall just wants to make you happy. he loves attention and being around you at all times. he LOVES squeaker toys and anything that makes a noise. he's a spunky boy who loves to hang with you wherever you are.

Story
We rescued Ollie from a shelter. We fell in love with him right away as a puppy at 4 months old. Due to my husband being allergic and having us having a baby we arent quite able to give him the attention he needs. He is a good, fun loving, friendly dog. He is still young about 1 and a half and good with other animals and people. Loves to play and loves attention. He needs a good home with lots of love and fun. He is Microchipped and well potty trained and cage trained.

Story
Meet Socks! This playful pup is ready to settle down with a family that can give him the love and attention he needs. At just 12 months old he is very energetic and will need a home that can accommodate. Socks has had minimal training, but seems to do well with older kids and has gotten along with other dogs (unsure how he responds to cats or other pets). He enjoys being outside and playing in water. With my husband deploying we are no longer able to support this growing Ausky's needs and are in search for a loving family that can house his big personality.

Story
Meet Thor! Thor is a sweet and playful dog who gets along wonderfully with kids, cats, and most other dogs. He especially enjoys playing with dogs his own size. While he generally does well in social settings, he can sometimes get a bit too excited when interacting with smaller male dogs. With the right introductions and supervision, he thrives in a loving home.
