Story

Lux was born July 2017. I adopted him when he was 4 months old. He's good with kids and new people. He's such a lover and loves butt scratch's. He's house trained loves to go on car rides and does well at the dogs parks too. His one downfall is the guy loves the trash. For whatever reason anytime he gets his chance he will rummage through the trash. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Unfortunately I've had a schedule change and I am not home as often as I need to be therefore he has been acting up for attention and it's just not fair to him. He has a brother and a sisters he's more bonded to his sister, but I think would do fine if separated.

Male, Young

Brighton, CO

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Howie is 3 years old he is house trained. He does okay with other dogs if properly introduced. He has two other dogs he's lived with his entire life. Him and my other male dog have got into food altercations. But as long as he is feed separate no issues have been present. He's good with kids, tends to need extra time to warm up to males as he's only been a female.. because of the cattle dog in him when he gets excited or needs attention he nips at butts, never has harmed anyone while doing it. He loves to be outside and run often times will fight me to come inside. Rehoming due to my a new schedule change. I'm not home as often and it's not fair to my dogs to be home alone as much as they have been.

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

He's about one year old and he loves to chase his tail to impress you. He's very energetic and loves to run but as long as he doesn't have to fight for attention with other pets he's super sweet and likes to lay with you on the couch. He gets along with other dogs but can push the playing too far and then gets aggressive. He is food aggressive with other dogs as well. He's an eater and needs something to slow him down. Over all, besides barking, he's a good boy he just needs to be in his own setting with no other dogs.

Story

Sherman is a 5-year-old, 90 lb rescue we have had since he was a puppy. He was born in Sherman, TX, which is how he got his name. He is house trained, kennel trained, microchipped, current on shots, and vet records can be provided.Sherman is loved deeply by our whole family. He loves fetch, walks, back scratches, treats, and being close to his people. Despite his size, he thinks he is a lap dog. He knows basic commands like sit and down, and does fairly well on leash once he settles.We are looking for an adult-only home with an experienced dog owner. Sherman has shown unpredictable reactive/territorial behavior toward children and has nipped/bitten children in our home a handful of times, with minor skin breaks once or twice. He has never shown this pattern with adults. He lives with other dogs, though careful introductions are needed, especially with males. He needs structure, patience, and secure containment, as his recall is poor if loose.
