Story
Hi everyone. I am beginning the process to rehome our dog. Duglass is a great dog. He just needs a home where the person has more time to be with him and can provide more exercise. Duglass is a German Shepherd and Australian cattle dog so he really needs at least two walks/runs a day. Dug is extremely sweet and is a rescue. He does have separation anxiety. The ideal person for him wants to take him everywhere or is home a lot. I would even dare to say that it would be amazing to find someone who has an acreage and where he could be indoor/outdoor. He’s up-to-date on his vaccines. He is neutered He’s good with other dogs and he is currently living with two cats as well and he is very kind. It’s the cat that could do better. He is also good with children though they aren’t his favorite. He currently does OK with my 3 1/2 year-old but he’s not super cautious with him nor does he care about him too much. He’s great with older kids as of course, my 14-year-old and him are best buddies.

Story
Digby’s a 15 year old puppy. He’s got a massive heart in a small package. Despite his advanced age and occasional dexterous challenges, Digby can walk for hours and handles hikes with ease. He’s an absolute cuddle bug and massive sweetheart.He does struggle with separation anxiety, but this only manifests problematically on extended absences. If you do leave him for extended trips he will need to be boarded or sat since he’s used to spending his nights with people.

Story
My schedule has become very busy and I don’t have the time to take her out and give her the attention she needs I feel so bad to have to let her go but she deserves so much more attention. I would just like her to go to a good family home with someone who has enough time to take her on long walks and hikes.

Story
My Dad had surgery a little over 6 months ago and was unable to care for her since then. I’ve been housing her until we’re able to find a new proper home. My landlord doesn’t allow dogs but knows that it’s temporary. She’s house trained and uses the potty in my backyard. We also have a cat whom she gets along just fine with. I also have kids, my youngest being 7. She’s not aggressive at all and loves to play with her rubber ball and rope toy. She also loves belly rubs!

Story
Young puppy that needs a gentle and experienced handler. Low drive Malinois- prey drive is high but low toy and food drive. Best for a female owner as appears to be fearful of males inside a home. Gets along well with other dog (smaller breed) after a slow introduction. Has done well with an older child but would probably be fearful of younger children and she is scared of loud noises and quick movements.Submit application to be contacted. No contract necessary as listed in the steps (automatically listed by the website).
