Story
We were trying to help a friend by keeping her until the friend got situated but it’s been almost a year and the friend went ghost. She loves to snuggle and play. Bella is potty trained and plays well with children but we no longer have the time that Bella has gotten accustomed too. We now have grandbabies that need our attention and work schedules are crazy. Her food and toys will be provided for her. Bella has her shots.

Story
WARNING AGGRESSIVE DOG!!Mako is a 6 year old pure breed Australian Cattle dog. I love Mako with all of my heart but I am moving and no longer have the time or resources to take care of him. 99% of the time Mako is a very loving, loyal, and playful dog. However, I need to make it very clear that the other 1% of the time he can be unpredictable, aggressive, and a danger to others. He has bitten multiple people including me and he not safe around children or other animals. That being said, once he builds trust with someone, he is fiercely loyal and loving but he can be hostile to new visitors and cannot be allowed near children or other animals. He is a herding dog so he needs lots of attention and exercise daily and he LOVES the water. Ideally, I am looking for a person without young children or other pets who can adopt Mako. Please let me know if you're interested.

Story
Dinkers is an energetic 8 year old border collie mix. She needs an experienced owner who can give her the right training. She is house trained, kennel trained, and knows basic commands like sit and lay down. She needs to be in a kennel when left unattended because she will chew things. We plan to get her up to date on shots and spay her before adopting. She doesn't like other dogs or strangers but is affectionate to owners and loves belly scratches. Please consider this sweet girl, she just needs training and she could be a great companion. She is so sensitive to emotions and will comfort you when you are sad. She needs the right loving home.

Story
Bear is a loving and playful little man who just wants attention and his toys. He is a wonderful dog that enjoys running around with my grandson and chasing after the squirrels and rabbits. He is fascinated by the geckos and will watch them and try to get them for hours.I love this dog so much, but since Shibas are very high strung, he would not make the trip all the way to the northeast where I am relocating to retire.I want to find a loving home that truly cares for him by taking him on walks and playing with him. Are you that family?
