Story
These two sweet wonderful sisters were born May 28, 2017 and we have had them since 7/2017. We love them dearly. They are happy, friendly, and absolutely inseparable. We are relocating out of the country and have thought of every possible way to take them with us but just can't. We have cats that they sleep with, other dogs that visit, and a Chihuahua who they get along with amazingly. We have 9 and 17 year old boys who play with them. They LOVE kids. They're housebroken, good on a leash, and the best friends a human could ever want.

Story
Dyn is a 3 year old pure breed Icelandic Sheepdog. His name is Dyn, short for Dynjandi, which means thunderous in Icelandic. He is a big personality in a small package. He is very intelligent and loves to herd and loves to bark. I can't stress this point enough. He is also very loyal and his favorite trick is to roll over on his back for pets. He is a great hiker and loves being outdoors. The reason we are looking for a good home is that Dyn needs a job. My husband and I and our two kids are very busy and don't have enough time during the day to give him the job he needs. He gets bored and consequently barks a lot. Ideally if he has a job he can do with his new owners to release his energy that will be very beneficial for him. He is fine with older kids but with younger kids the movement of young kids drives him to try and heard them. Due to his energy level we feel we can't give him the life he deserves and hoping to find a home that will better suit him.

Sam was handed down to me by someone who could not care for him. I agreed to care for him until we found a home. He is all puppy! Very busy and inquisitive. Extremely intelligent and affectionate. He sleeps in his crate through the night and loves playing with dogs of all sizes. He is very food motivated.

Story
Lundy is an amazing 8 year old girl. Very well trained, sweet, and calm. She walks well on a leash and is fully house-trained. No issues with other cats, dogs, or kids - apart from if a dog barks aggressively at her on a walk, she will bark back (but she is not aggressive). She's never bitten any person (or even come close to it) or dog. We cannot keep her any longer as we have a new baby and it has become very challenging. We love her and we are sad to let her go, but we simply cannot give her the love and care she deserves. We adopted her at age 3. Her previous owner was very caring, but had Alzheimer's and had to give her up. It is important to us we find the right home. We do not recommend a home with young children simply due to the barking when a person comes to the door or a package is delivered. It is a a lot with small kids who need to nap.

Story
We recently went through some major life changes. He lost a major care giver in his life and since then he has developed some aggression towards strangers specifically at night. He has bitten two adult men minority, really nipped. Once he has met a person he is the most well behaved dog in the world, but especially men he is very fearful of. He needs a home that can accommodate his needs and provide him a lot of exercise.
