Story
Our little beautiful Roxy is something else! She is so intelligent and happy, and wants to be with a family. She adores children, and the seven year old in the house has taught her to fetch and lots of other things. She is gentle and precious, only about 30 pounds at a year, so is smaller, and loves getting attention. She is crate trained and house trained, enjoys other dogs, loves being outside, and walks well on a leash. She is ready for her forever best friend. She enjoys water, tummy rubs, and showing off how smart she can be. She is a bit frightened of cars rushing by and can be a little shy when she first meets you, but when she comes in for scratches, it is such an amazing feeling. Roxy enjoys everything about having a family, and cannot wait to find her forever!

Story
Our petite Coney is a special soul, who just wants to be loved by her people. Left abandoned after her family moved, she is ready to find a life partner in adventure, relaxation, and love. She is only 28 pounds and is fully grown, so we put her as a small dog simply so she would not get overlooked. She fits right in between your legs and will snuggle there. She would love to be a lap dog and walks well on a leash. She enjoys playing with other dogs, and is polite about that, though being with people is what she would always prefer, and she would like to be an only dog with doggie friends. She is medium energy, and loves to lie under a desk while you are working or by your feet in the kitchen. She lives with a dog-savvy cat in the foster home and does just fine. She is quite well-behaved and loves her crate as her safe space. Coney has a smile on her face most of the time, and is a gentle soul ready for her forever!

Story
Reggie is an active excited dog that deserves to live in the country. He grew up on a big plot of land as a foster and did not transition well to suburbia. I would love to find him a home where he can have ample room to run, a friend or two, and not a lot of commotion. He is friendly but leash reactive and fence reactive to dogs and small animals. However he has shown he can be trained to monitor himself so I would say he needs someone who has owned a high energy dog before! He needs someone to give him a lot of time and attention, as he deserves to be someone’s true lifer but he is too skiddish around young kids. I’m sad I have to give him up but I don’t believe I am giving him the life he deserves.

Story
Spotakus (Spot) for short is a sweet, gentle, and friendly Livestock Gaurdian. He is about 2 years old and has been exposed to livestocksince birth. He's naturally shy with new people but has never shown an ounce of aggression; he's never even growled. He is the most gentle giant. True to his guardian instincts, he keeps predators away and thrives in a working environment with livestock. He has worked with sheep, a small group of cows, goats, and poultry. Spot needs a property where he can do the job he was born for and a person who will give him time, patience, and consistency. His parents are purebred, and he’s healthy, well-mannered with a ton of potential.

Story
Meet Nelson (7yo), a loving, loyal, well trained dog who has been our companion since rescued at one year old. He’s incredibly affectionate with family and great with kids, but has strong protective instincts around strangers, especially near the front door. With our growing family and more frequent visitors, it;s become harder to manage his guarding behavior. Nelson would thrive in a quiet home with a large yard or farm, big bed, and home willing to give him snuggles. He needs space out side of the city to run. He is well trained, will bike 10+ miles with you, and be the best companion for long hikes or camping trips (his favorite). We love him deeply, and this decision comes from a place of wanting what’s best for him. We simply don’t need his protection and know someone needs his love. Nelson will come with beds, kennel, food, and a donation to the right home and family to ensuring he continues to live a great life. If you think you might be the right fit, please reach out us.
