Story
Will is the true companion - he is the one that will go on walks and hikes but will also be perfectly happy sitting and doing a puzzle with you or reading a book. He prioritizes being with his people and wrestling with his brother. He is an extremely happy guy with the most soulful eyes, who enjoys adventuring and is doing well with house training and leash walking. Will is generally mellow and enjoys taking naps outside, playing with his brother, eating, and chasing balls. He loves having something to snuggle with and plays with his people, makes them feel important, and listens. He enjoys playing with other dogs once he knows them (like our dog in his foster home), but is cautious about other dogs he does not know and very polite with them. He is a true joy and will love you unconditionally. Will is a dream guy and will make an absolutely amazing family dog! The results are in: Shepherd, Rottweiler, Lab with many others mixed in! **Will is scheduled to be neutered and microchipped in October by LSC.

Story
We have had Nala since she was 8weeks old! She is now 5 will be 6 December 22nd! She is a cuddle bug for sure and loves to play! shes very smart and learns quickly. She is kennel trained, house trained and knows basic commands. She loves her paw held. She will literally be your best friend. She needs an active loving family. I have developed an allergy to her fur and while i have been able to manage it pretty well our work situation is also changing within the next few weeks and i dont want her home alone or kenneled for the majority of the day. She deserves better than that. She is up to date on shots and goes to her annual well checks. Shes also been to doggy boarding and does great. Shes great with other dogs big or small and loves kids. she loves anyone that loves her honestly.She is not spayed but probably should be.She will come with all of her things to her new home.

Story
Bodie is a loyal, affectionate mini Aussie looking for a new family. I recently found out I'm allergic to his breed, so we're rehoming him. He listens well, learns quickly, has excellent recall, and loves to please. He's healthy, active, playful, and happiest snuggled up with his people. He lives with another dog and they get along great, and he's been wonderful with our kids. We live rurally, so he's had less socialization and will need time to adjust to new dogs and people. He's protective of our children and can be suspicious of strangers. He has strong herding instincts and will try to herd kids and dogs, but stops with redirection and consistent training. Like most Aussies, he has some separation anxiety. He whines for a while when left alone but settles down. The right home is an active family with patience for the adjustment period and ongoing training. Once he knows you, he's a devoted companion.

Story
Murphy has been such an amazing dog to our family. I got him in 2020, and finding him a wonderful home is incredibly important to me. ❤️ Murphy is genuinely a sweet, gentle dog. He is patient, affectionate, and submissive in the best way. He has been phenomenal even around family members’ dogs who can be reactive or aggressive. He is great with puppies, older dogs, and has even lived peacefully with cats. (He is not usually a fan of unneutered male dogs.) In his younger days, Murphy occasionally decided to “walk himself,” and half the neighborhood knew him. 😂 Once he got out while we were gone, went on his adventure, opened our front door himself, let himself back in, and waited for us at home. Thankfully, those naughty days are LONG behind him. 😂 Murphy is smart, loving, mellow, and a wonderful family dog. I don’t just want someone willing to take him—I want to find a family who will truly love him. ❤️

Story
Marshall is our resident social butterfly. He has never met another dog or person he has not loved. He is all about being your sidekick! Marshall is the adventurer of the group - always ready for an outing or a hike or a walk, and with his tall and lanky build, he can go for miles. He loves to play and to cuddle, and really just wants to be with his people more than anything else (except maybe playing with another dog!). He loves other dogs and people of all ages, and he is very enthusiastic about having a playmate! He is thoughtful, enjoys playing outside, and loves getting snuggles. He is the first one to meet you at the door or to run across the yard to greet you, and already seems to know what people need from him. He is amazing with all aspects of puppy-dom! He is doing really well with house training, has learned sit, and walks on a leash. He is very intelligent and seems to have an intrinsic thoughtfulness. He is simply amazing! The results are in: Shepherd, Rottweiler, Lab with other breeds mixed in for good measure! **Marshall will be neutered and microchipped by LSC in October

Story
Goose is a sweet boy and loves his people. He gets so excited when you come home that he prances around with a to and wags his happy tail! He is about two years old and weighs about 60 pounds. He enjoys people and does well meeting other adults with a little patience. Goose knows sit, down, and shake. He is a dog that will look at you for direction and will look right into your eyes. He wants to do the right thing, but boundaries need to be set up and enforced gently with Goose. He was a bit under-socialized when we got him back, so we have been working on his confidence, understanding boundaries, and socialization. He goes in to work every day with his foster. He is smart and is loving, and he is house trained and sleeps in the crate all night. He is bigger and strong, but he is not overly active. Goose would make an amazing hiking companion but also enjoys accompanying you to the bathroom and hanging with a movie. He has not really enjoyed being put in the back yard, so he has been just fine getting walked rather than zooming around a back yard. Goose can be dog selective but does listen when a dog does not want him in their space. He also is getting really good at walking on the leash with no reactivity! This is a great big step for him! We are so proud of how far he has come! Truly, he is working hard on how to socialize with other dogs. This comes from being under-socialized and not having limits at his past home. He has gotten along with a couple of dogs previously, but would be happiest as an only dog in the home. He has done very well listening to his foster and learning new limits, and he has learned things quickly. He has a prey drive out on the leash, and that has been getting better with his foster, but he also lives with a confident cat who loves dogs. He does get a bit nervous around small children, so will only go to a home with older children or no children. He needs someone who will give him lots of love and get him outside and adventuring. He is a good boy, and we are working on the dog socialization every day. His confidence is much better right now, and we are working on helping him view the world as a safe place where he can just keep smiling!
