Story
Meet Goose!A sweet loving dog who loves to run around the park, play fetch, and enjoys the company. He loves playing with other dogs who can keep up with him!The reason for this rehoming is to have Goose be in a better environment to be the goodest boy he can be. Currently, Goose had been shuffled from my parents home, to a friend, then to my home within a day. Unfortunately our current home is also home to another larger dog, plus other small animals. Due to the stress and not having our house suitable for the well being of Goose, along with another conflicting working dog in the house, it was best decided for the Welfare of Goose and our current pets, that Goose would flourish at a different home, with hopefully an owner that has experience training and working with his specific breed. He is incredibly smart, and loving, he is also a protector, and loves to work, we have come to learn it takes a special kind of home to best suit this Malinois shepherd breed.

Story
Meet Alpine, an 18mo old AKC registered purebred white GSD. He has been with our family since he was 12wks old and loves running and playing with our young kids. He loves playing fetch, swimming, playing tug of war with a rope, being taught new commands, and patrolling our property. He would be perfect for someone with a place that needs to be protected and has plenty of space to run. He is good with other dogs and has not experienced cats that we know of. He is healthy and weighs 80 lbs, gaining a few pounds each month as he continues to grow. He has a lot of anxiety and requires a lot of patience and understanding. We are not in a rush to find another home for him and instead we want to have time to make sure he finds a family that will be the best fit for him. He would do well with a family who is able to be fully present with him. We are a military family and it's difficult to travel with his needs.

Story
Dash is a 5 year old Saint Bernard/Bernese and has such a cuddly personality! He is protective and loves his people and is very patient with kids (we have 5 ages 5-15). He is a big boy - 140lbs - with a gorgeous coat and the sweetest eyes. Dash can be anxious and overwhelmed with lots of activity around him so would do best in a relatively quiet and calm living environment - preferably with someone who is experienced with Saints/large dogs. He doesn’t have any destructive behaviors (chewing, digging, etc) and is house trained and easy to teach where to go potty outside etc. Please let me know if your home might be a good fit for this pup!

Story
Tr trixie is only 10 years old but unfortunately she became diabetic a year and a half ago. She has been doing well with four units of insulin twice a day. But she has recently developed intestinal issues and vet is working on finding and hopefully fixing the issue. She needs a diet low in carbohydrates. I make her food with chicken breast and vegetables. Plus, I add a kibble, low fat. Unfortunately, my husband died about two years ago, and my income has dropped dramatically. I can’t afford the insulin, the vet check ups, the needles, special food etc. that goes with a diabetic dog. She is a sweet dog that everybody loves. And she is still very active.But she now has cataracts and can’t see well so she tends to bark at anything that moves when she’s out walking. I’m moving so I need to rehome my sweet little girl, she is housebroken, but I do have a dog door so she goes in and out at will. trixie is a Chorkie -Chihuahua and Yorkshire terrier
