Story
Zosia is a sweet, playful, high-energy 8-month old puppy who loves fetch and toys and is affectionate with her people.However, she is fearful of strangers and has shown fear-based reactivity, including a minor bite incident (no broken skin) when a child rapidly approached her while she was overwhelmed.Because of this, she will need:✔️ Adult-only home ✔️ Experienced handler (herding breed/reactive dog experience preferred) ✔️ Commitment to training and structureAlthough Zosia has been gentle and sweet with our three-year old daughter, we have a baby on the way and for safety reasons, we’ve sadly decided we cannot keep her. The shelter we adopted her from stated she would face behavioral euthanasia if returned, so we are doing everything we can to find her a chance.Zosia has a lot of potential in the right forever home. We will send her with a crate, collar, leash, toys, and food. We are committed to full transparency and helping with her transition.

Story
Harley is a 4 yr old female GSP mixed. She is very energetic and loves attention. We moved from a home with land into an apartment & she needs more room to run and play. She is a bit aggressive with certain types of dogs but she loves to run and hunt. Hoping she can be rehoused to someone who has land and can be active with her.

Story
Bleu is a sweet girl that loves to cuddle, get scratches, play with other dogs/owners, and LOVES to chew, so she needs a lot of toys and bones (which we will give what we have). She is food motivated and has the kindest heart. She has true shepherd traits with the energy, agility, and play bites/nibbles. She has never bitten anyone, just loves to mouth as she shows affection by grabbing your hand for pets or to play. My wife and I both made major career changes and want Bleu to go to a loving home with experienced dog owners. She turned a year old in April and is still growing! We have an elevated bed, blanket, toys, leash, and bowls to go with her, everything included with her!

Story
Aki is an almost 8-year-old Spitz mix looking for her perfect retirement home! I originally took Aki in as a temporary foster when her owner experienced a major life change and was no longer able to take her back. He has since asked me to help find Aki (and her friends) loving forever homes where they can spend their golden years surrounded by love.Aki has a history of doing well with children, other dogs, and strangers. She has not been tested with cats. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and settles well into home life.What truly makes Aki special is her affectionate personality. She absolutely adores people and is happiest when she’s close to her humans, whether that’s cuddling on the couch, following you around the house, or simply soaking up attention. If you’re looking for a dog that loves to love, Aki is your girl!She also enjoys spending time outdoors and would thrive in a home that can give her both companionship and opportunities to enjoy the fresh air.

Story
Atom is a very sweet, very chill dog. He’s great with young kids and other dogs although we don’t know how he does living with another dog, cats are unknown. He’s incredibly gentle and friendly and loves to be around everyone. He doesn’t know how to play with toys but loves to chew on bones. He has a little bit of anxiety but does well if you’re patient with him. He is not crate trained and has a lot of separation anxiety. We’re welcoming our 4th baby and unfortunately has just become too much to care for a dog in the mix.

Story
I originally adopted Murphy from a rescue, he had an unknown background with signs of neglect. He was anxious and unsure of people, especially men. I've had him for two years, he has grown so much with our other dog who has taught him to trust people more. Murphy is terrific with other dogs and adults. He loves going to dog parks, swimming in lakes, and going on adventures. He is a perfect dog for a home without children. He has never attacked anyone but will not do well in a home with young children. He is goofy, silly, handsome, adventurous and playful. He is an absolute joy to have around!
