Story
DOB: 10/16/2021He needs a home that is very active and can give him a job. He is very high energy and I don’t have the time he needs. He loves ball and would do amazing in agility. Would probably be better if he was in a single dog household, got in a fight with another one of our dogs. Unsure how he would be with cats. The required vaccines are up to date (rabies and DHPP). He has been on heartworm preventative.

Story
With heavy consideration we need to rehome Scout. We do not make this decision lightly and we have poured a lot of time and training into her. However she is a danger to our almost 2 year old son. Scout is a 8yr old heeler. She has lots of training (40 different commands), does great out in public, loves to snuggle, can run around all day with you or be a couch potato. However she doesn't like young kids, and is wary of strangers but once she gets to know you she will never forget you. She would be perfect out on a peice of land, living the van life, or just at an active home. If you know of anyone who would love to take home this sweet girl please reach out.

Story
She was a rescue; we believed she was used for breeding. She is currently 3yrs old. We tried giving her a good home, but she cannot succeed without yard access 24/7. We tried doing some training with her, but most we no longer have the time that she needs due to work changes. She enjoys the dog parks and fishing. She doesn't bark. She lounges around all day, but will sometimes play with her toys and enjoys short walks. Her past likely caused the behavioral issues we are experiencing, but we believe a yard should help with these issues because she was behaving well when she used to have a yard as a puppy. She gets along with other dogs and people; she's never bitten anyone or other dogs. We are looking to rehome her within the month. We will provide her stuff when you take her (this would include dog food, bowls, toys, bed, harness, leash, and anything else of her that remains).

Story
HI HELLO YES I AM ALIVE AND IT IS AMAZING.I’m a cattle dog mix, which means I am very smart, very enthusiastic, and sometimes so excited about existing that I forget what you just asked me to do. Sit? I know it. Down? Also know it. Remembering to do it when there are leaves or sounds or life happening? We’re working on that.The good news: I want to be a Very Good Boy. I just need someone who understands that my brain moves fast, my body moves faster, and I come with unlimited enthusiasm!I am not a casual, “a couple walks a day” kind of dog. I need real exercise, training, and mental work daily. If I don’t get that, I will absolutely create my own activities, and you may find them… less charming than I do.The payoff? With patience, structure, and yes, a generous amount of treats, I will turn into an incredibly fun, loyal, and impressive partner!

Story
The names Hestia! After taking care of a litter of puppies, I am now in search of my perfect home!I am a bundle of energy and have a goofy personality, sure to fill your days with lots of entertainment and laughter! I will absolutely thrive in an active home, as I will play fetch for hours and am more than willing to tag along for any adventure!I`m not really sure how I feel about cats so I might do best in a home without them! I can also be pretty picky about my canine companions so I would prefer to meet any potential new siblings before going home with them. I would love to fill any home with lots of love and laughter if you are willing to give me the chance, so please come on by to meet me and hopefully we can make a perfect match!

Story
Airel is a 5 year old Red nose pit Bull. She was rescued when she was 1 at an adoption fair. We do not know her history prior to adoption. She does not do well with kids or other dogs. Cats unknown. She is high energy. She is very timid at first but once she gets to know you she is a big love bug. She does not like water , so baths can be a challenge. Also does not like to be outside In Rain or snow as she gets cold. She loves to pile under blankets. She is kennel trained and not destructive other than her own toys. She needs a home where she can get lots of attention. We have another dog in the home so she is secluded to her room and her side of the yard.
