Story
Milo is the sweetest, most loving little shadow you could ask for. He’s goofy, affectionate, loyal, smart, and loves being around his person. He’s the kind of dog who wants to follow you around, hang out next to you, cuddle, and be part of whatever you’re doing. He’s very food motivated, loves treats, learns quickly, and does really well with structure and attention. Once he gets comfortable with you, his personality really shines through. He’s playful, loving, and has a huge heart. He can be a little nervous at first, but that’s part of what makes earning his trust so special. His biggest challenge is that he gets very anxious when left alone because he becomes extremely attached to his person. He would thrive with someone who has the time and patience to help him build confidence. Milo is genuinely a wonderful dog and an incredibly loyal companion. If you’re looking for a best friend who will love you with his whole heart and want to be by your side every day, Milo is that dog.

Story
This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to consider, and I’m still not sure I’m ready to rehome her. She is incredibly loving, intelligent, active, and extremely obedient. I’ve invested over $5,000 in professional training and she is incredibly obedient. However, she has significant food aggression toward other dogs. She has NEVER shown aggression toward a human—I can handle her food and even put my hand in her bowl without a reaction. Unfortunately, she has bit at my other dog multiple times, and despite extensive training and management, they cannot safely live together. She can play with other dogs, but food cannot be involved. She needs to be the ONLY dog in her home with someone who does not plan to add another dog and who can keep up with her active lifestyle. I love her tremendously and will only consider a permanent, loving home where she can safely thrive. I’d be happy to share more videos and pictures. Serious inquiries only.

Story
Andee was a rescue which we adopted around 10 weeks old. She has a lot of love to give. She does well with other large dogs. Does not socialize well with small dogs. She has some food protection issues. There needs to be care taken around feeding time with other pets and human household members.

Story
Winston is a bold, loyal dog who forms deep bonds with his people. Once he trusts you, he’s affectionate, engaged, and fully invested in his relationship with you. He enjoys interaction, play, and being part of his person’s world—and he thrives with someone who values connection, structure, and consistency. Winston can be cautious with unfamiliar people and needs time and space to feel comfortable. He does best with calm, respectful introductions and handlers who understand that trust is earned. When given appropriate space, he recovers well from stressful situations and is able to settle. He is best suited for an adult-only home with an adopter who is patient, confident, and dog-savvy. Winston is dog selective and does not enjoy every dog he meets. He is not a good match for homes with male dogs. With a proper meet-and-greet and slow introductions, he may be able to live with a compatible female dog, but this would need to be evaluated carefully. He does best when his social circle is small and thoughtfully managed. Winston is high-energy during play and activity but is capable of settling afterward. He is very food-motivated and already knows how to sit well, making him a great candidate for continued positive-reinforcement training. He will benefit from ongoing work on leash manners, impulse control, and confidence-building around unfamiliar handling. Winston is looking for a committed adopter who understands that strong personalities come with strong loyalty. In the right home—one that offers patience, boundaries, and clear communication—Winston will be a deeply devoted companion with a lot of heart to give. Winston is currently part of our behavior program, and adopters will not be navigating this alone. If someone chooses to welcome Winston into their home, ongoing support is available, including an at home-evaluation and multiple follow-up training sessions to help set both Winston and his adopters up for success.
