Spur is about 5 yrs old and is a very affectionate dog. He is a mix Red Healer/Catahula. He has been with our family since birth, growing up with children, ages 7-12 , and one other dog. He is very protective and active, so does best in an active family environment. We are looking for a loving family, since we are relocating and cannot take him with us.

Story
Kingston is a pure bred chocolate lab. He was born 6/2024. We adopted him at 7 weeks old and brought him home to incorporate him into our existing pack. He is very loving and SUPER smart! House trained, kennel trained, walks well on a leash, basket muzzle trained. He loves to play fetch! As Kingston got older we started to notice food/resource guarding. We don't keep any food out, and he eats separately from our other pets. He has shown aggression to our other dogs (has a bite history with other dogs). He has never shown any aggression towards people, although he can be shy around new people. He has been neutered, we have done behavior consults and unfortunately for the safety of the rest of our dogs we need to find him a new home. He needs an experienced dog owner. He ABSOLUTELY needs to be the only dog in the home. He would be a risk to other pets in the household. We really want to find him a home. From our research, our other options are very bleak.

Story
Wilkerson "Wilkie" has been my best friend for the last almost 7 years (he'll be 7 in May). Unfortunately, we now have two kids under two and toddlers are a little too wild for a Chihuahua. He's such a cuddler and lovessss walks, and we just don't have the space in our home or time to give him the love and care he needs anymore. Wilkie is about 10 pounds. He gets along great with our other dog, Nymeria (Nymie). In a perfect world we would find someone who could take them both in. He can be a little timid with strangers but he's super food motivated so if you give him a few treats, he'll let you pet him and once you pet him, he'll be your best friend. He loves to cuddle up in bed, his blankets or his little kennel house. He listens pretty well to commands like "sit", "find your bed" and when you call him. I really hope I can find someone who will love him the way I was able to for those first few years we had together, and give him a great rest of his life.

Shiba Inu American Eskimo Dog

Story
I got Nymeria from a friend who's dogs had an accidental litter. From the day I brought her home, she has been so much fun. She lovessss to run (we used to take her to a local outdoor roller rink and let her chase a tennis ball around), cuddle and be outside. We have two under two now, and while she does well with kids, ours are just too little to be gentle enough with a small dog. She would do well in a home with older kids though who can be gentle! She loves some good pets! She does have a double coat, so brushing is a must! She will be 6 this July (7/7) and I just really want to find her a loving home where she can run around and be loved by someone who can give her the space/time/less stressful environment she deserves for the rest of her life. She gets along great with her brother, Wilkerson (Wilkie) and ideally we could find a home to take them both. If not, she does do well with smaller dogs once she gets to know them but doesn't care for bigger dogs!
