Millie is 4 months old. She is spayed and has all her vaccines. She is smart, knows sit and down she would make a wonderful companion for a family or couple looking for an energetic bouncy puppy.

Story
Ottis is a teddy bear with beautiful markings. He loves interacting with people and other dogs. He often gets the zoomies. We are estimating Ottis to be about 10 years old. But doesn’t act his age. Unfortunately, with our lifestyles at this time, he is not getting the proper attention he needs. He needs to get into a new home with a family that can pay more attention to him and go outside and play with him. So he can play, play, play like he loves to do.

Story
It absolutely breaks our hearts to write this. Our beautiful 5-year-old female Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd is one of the sweetest dogs you could ever meet. She has the biggest, happiest smile that lights up the room and a gentle personality that melts your heart. She's the kind of dog who will softly nudge your hand when she wants love, never asking for much beyond a few head pats and the chance to be close to her people. More than anything, she simply loves spending time with those she loves. She is incredibly loyal and protective of her family, always watching over the people she cares about while still being affectionate, gentle, and eager for attention. She has brought us so much joy, laughter, and unconditional love over the years. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, she and our other female dog have developed ongoing conflict and no longer get along. We have reached the heartbreaking realization that keeping them together is no longer safe for either of them.
