Story
Zoe is around 1 to 1½ years old. She was recently spayed and is an incredibly sweet, affectionate girl with people and SOME other dogs. Zoe loves attention and bonds closely with her people.Zoe is a high-energy dog and will need an active home that can provide regular exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. She would thrive with someone who understands working breeds and can keep her engaged through walks, play, training, and daily activity.Because of ongoing conflict with our Mastiff, who was once her ride or die🥺, Zoe would probably do best in an environment as the only dog, even though she is not the cause of the conflict. Our dogs got along wonderfully when they first got together, but something shifted and they no longer get along.Zoe is currently being boarded and improving on crate training. She does have some separation anxiety, but she is making progress and responds well to structure!Fenced in yard preferred...

Story
He barks w other dogs but not aggressive just playful He's friendly with pol tho Huey, an Aussie Jack, is a loving, energetic, and protective dog who would make a wonderful companion for the right home. He is great with children and does well with larger dogs, he has not lived with a cat since he was a baby but is not aggressive toward them. Huey is house-trained, although he may be nervous or take some time to adjust when entering a new home. Because of a past experience where he was almost attacked, he can become vocal when he sees dogs passing by, so patience and reassurance will be important while he settles in. Huey absolutely loves cuddling, going for walks, running, and playing catch. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Huey is in need of a family who can provide him with a safe, loving, and patient environment while he transitions into his next chapter. Yes he also has his shots !
