Story
This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make, but I’m looking for a loving home for my 10-year-old Collie/Lab mix. She is a sweet, loyal girl who deserves more time and attention than I’m able to give her right now.She has a tumor on the left side of her neck and is beginning to lose some of her vision, so she would do best with someone who can give her the patience, love, and care she deserves during her senior years. Despite these challenges, she still enjoys companionship and has so much love to give.I am not asking for any money—I just want to find the right home where she’ll be safe, loved, and cared for. If you or someone you know might be interested in giving this sweet girl a comfortable retirement, please send me a message. I would love to answer any questions and make sure she goes to the best possible home.Please be kind. This is an incredibly difficult decision, and I’m only doing it because I want what’s best for her.

Story
Dolly Mae is a very curious young dog, she is still learning and progressing with her skills. So far Dolly Mae is crate trained and leash trained, she gets a little nervous with the leash so she is still being trained with a harness and leash till she is completely comfortable. Dolly Mae is very active and needs constant movement or activities or even jobs for that matter so that she doesn’t get bored. Dolly Mae enjoys playing in the water so she has a pool outside that she is frequently in on warm sunny days, she has even tried swimming in her water dish on occasion.

Story
Taz is an older boy who enjoys the slow life curled up on the couch or outside sunbathing, he enjoys riding in the car. He is bonded with his brother Zeke. I would prefer that they go together if possible. He is a very strong dog and pulls on the leash so he might do best with a prong collar or someone experienced with his breed. He is crate, and leash trained and has never had an accident in the house. He is very treat motivated.

Story
Izzy is a very loving dog, she plays well with others and enjoys playing tug of war outside with them, or swimming in the pool with them. With my dad’s health rapidly declining and changing day by day I am not able to give her the love and attention she deserves. She does well in a crate but is on a strict bathroom schedule to prevent accidents both in crate and in house, responds great to treats

Story
Meatball (f.k.a LC) is a great dog he gets along very well with other dogs, he gets extremely excited when meeting news dogs and hasn’t shown any aggression. He walks very well on a leash may pull occasionally if she’s something that excites him( birds, squirrels, etc). With my work schedule changing it’s not fair to him to cooped up in a kennel as well as my fathers health has changed is rapidly changing.

Story
Zeke is a giant ball of energy who enjoys running around outside rolling in the dirt and sand, and sunbathing. He enjoys riding in the car and being with his brother Taz. With my every changing work schedule it’s not fair to them to not be able to roam around and run and play. My dad’s health is also declining rapidly and it’s extremely hard for him to care for them while I’m at work. I would like for Taz and Zeke to go together if possible cause they are brothers and have never been ssperated?
