Story
Keeley was rescued at 5 weeks old off the side of the road in Wyoming! From day one she was the sweetest most expressive pup! Her nickname is Dobby for this Harry Potter loving friends. She is loyal and aware of emotions! I have always thought she would be an amazing service dog because she senses emotions. She needs to be in a home with older kids or no kids and not other pets to compete with! We have tried but unfortunately she is too stressed in our home and she would be so much happier in a home where she is the only little love!

Story
She was our first pup and is a rescue weve had her for 4 years now, she is great with our 3 yo and our cat and our other dog. She does not get along with other dogs outside the house therefore she is always on a leash we think she would benefit from a home where she has a yard and can run around(we live in a duplex) and she has been with us in different apartment ills over the years she responds to basic commands, we rescued another dog after 2 years w Becca and now 2 is just too many we want her to go to a good home because she really is a good dog she’s never growled, bit or been otherwise aggressive to any person or any of our other pets and shes been safe around our toddler since his birth, she barks loud in a protective fashion when people knock but all she does is lick and sniff. She has high energy like a puppy still she has anxiety and she would benefit from a lot of attention she loves to cuddle and snuggle

Size

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Freya is 4 years old and very energetic. She was a rescue dog and can be very protective and high alert. She tends to be more trusting and affectionate towards men. She needs someone who can take her on long walks or has a nice large yard for her to run and play. She tends to be apprehensive of strangers and takes some time to warm up to new people. Would be most suited with someone without kids or other dogs in the home.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Reba is a wonderful dog! We originally acquired her from my mom’s neighbor who was not able to keep her. We took her on intending to find her a forever home. That was nearly 4 years ago! We did not ever see us having animals due to allergies within the family, and our busy schedules but she unexpectedly grew on us! She is comfortable in her kennel, but doesnt like to be in there all day while we are at work. She is amazing around kids, (even littles!) other dogs and cats! She is house trained and kennel trained. Loves to be active, but tires out easily. She ideally needs someone who can give her tons of attention, and lots of cuddles for when she tires herself out. She has a lot of personality, and is an extremely loyal dog.
