Story

My daughter got this dog as a puppy so he was raised thus far with 3 kids ages 4-6-10 and a Senior Dog. No exposure to cats. He is almost 2 yrs old. She was too nice to handle him and had no idea about Husky behaviors. He does not like to be alone and will escape from the house if left alone too long. He catches squirrels and chip monks on a regular basis. He is gorgeous. He has a lot of energy. I took him in in hopes of keeping him but he truly cannot be left alone without breaking out and my works hours leave me no choice but to rehome him. I cannot afford day care every day. I have been running with him so he definitely an active home and I think he would benefit from not being the only dog. He is loving and calm and loves tummy rubs. He has had behavior training and is doing very well with commands and does great leash walking too.

Story

Potato’s ready to find his forever people!   Potato is a 4 year old Great Dane. He weighs about 120 pounds! Potato is good with other dogs. Potato would do best with kids 12+ as he is a big guy that could potentially knock younger kiddos over. We are not sure how potato is with cats so we feel it would be best if he went to a feline free home. Potato is house broken and crate trained, but he is not destructive at all! Potato is a pretty active guy that loves to run around the yard and go for walks, so he would love a home that will give him plenty of playtime and exercise. Potato is a big goofy guy with so much personality. He loves getting lots of attention and snuggling up on the couch with you. Potato needs a family that is familiar with providing structure and boundaries.  We will not be considering first time dog owners for potato! We would prefer his adopter owns their home and would love previous extra large breed experience.  If you would like to welcome Potato home, please visit our website and fill out an application.  Astdogrescue.com ##1731934##

Story

We would like you to meet Reign!  Reign is a stunning 3 year old English Bulldog that is looking for her forever home! Reign is a silly girl with a lot of personality once she trusts you, but she needs forever people that are willing to take it slow and let that trust build! Reign could live with another dog as long as her forever people take it slow and are willing to monitor closely for a bit. Reign will need to be fed separately from any dogs in the house. She would also be happy to be your one and only. Reign is good with kids but would do best with kids that are 10+ in the home. We are not sure how she is with cats, so a feline free home would be best. Reign is house broken and crate trained. Reign loves a good evening stroll and a stuffie to play with. She is happy to hang out and chill and be the best companion once she trusts you! Structure is important for all dogs, but Reign is very much the kind of bully girl that will think she runs the house if she is not kept in line with rules and boundaries. For this reason, we are looking for experienced owners for her and won’t be considering first time dog owners. Reign would love ongoing training as a way to form a bond with her humans. Previous experience with  brachycephalic dog breeds and their physical needs and limitations is also preferred.  Reign is a gem of a pup that is just looking for her people!  If you have room in your home and heart for Reign, please visit our website and fill out an application!
