Story
Liberty is a very good boy! He has been great with our kids since they were little. He have a child with special needs and Liberty even helped keep him safe on a couple occasions. Our lives have become very busy due to work. Now we no longer have time to walk or care for him. And our older kids work too now so nobody has time for him. He has had all shots up until about a year and half ago. He is very calm and docile and knows several tricks. He will make a wonderful addition to your home.

Story
Belle is a 10 year old Shetland Sheepdog (Birthday 1-31-16). We are looking to rehome Belle because she is not doing well with our children. She has shown aggression towards them which has resulted in several bites (this is not the typical herding nip). She has not shown aggression towards the adults in our home or who visit. She is very energetic great at frisbee and playing fetch. She also enjoys a good snuggle and pet. She has no known health issues. She is overweight. She is anxious with change but will adjust. She does well with going potty outside but is not trained to go potty on a leash. We have not walked her to go potty but this would take effort due to her anxiety. She does not do great with other dogs and would need to be the only dog in a household. She lived with two other dogs but was dominate pup. In the past we have introduced her to other pups with a more assertive personality and we had to separate them. She has never been around cats.

Story
Bella has been a phenomenal dog for our family. She is well trained and very sweet. As bulldogs are she can be stubborn but nothing out of the ordinary. She is great with other dogs. Loves to play, sleep and eat. She’s 9 year and still doing great. We’ve never had health issues with Bella. She’s been perfect in that regard. She loves to cuddle and is friendly with everyone. She loves meeting new people asking for someone to rub her.Bella is potty trained and is very well behaved with our belonging. She have never chewed anything other than her food and her toys. She communicates really well when she needs something like more food, potty or wants to play.With our 2 toddlers and an infant we are not able to give Bella the time and attention she needs. We feel that she could be in a better situation for her with a family or individual that can focus on her more than we can. It’s a tough decision but we feel we are doing the best thing for her. A home with a yard would be ideal.

Story
He’s a really good boy—very loving, sweet, and deserving of a great family. I honestly don’t want to rehome him, but at this point I don’t have any other options.This is not an easy decision, and I just want to make sure he ends up somewhere safe, happy, and loved. If you or someone you know might be able to give him a good home, please reach out. Even sharing this post would mean a lot.Willing to supply support to a new home for him upon request up to 350 dollars for a good home

Story
Riley is a sweet girl who will cuddle with you on the couch at any time. She was a foster before us. Before that was being bred as a hunting dog. She was kept in a cage early in her life a lot, and tends to be cautious of new people when out on a walk. She is very pack oriented and loves her family and that’s all she needs. She is not aggressive towards other dogs but she does not want or need interaction with them. She likes to be by herself or with her family. She is great with kids, walks calmly on the leash with them. Her one quirk is that she really only likes to go to the bathroom at her home, so don’t expect her to poop or pee on a walk. She will pee on a long walk but keeps the other movements for at home. A fenced yard is a must for her. She loves the outside and playin but feels most comfortable with the fence as a barrier. She is a wonderful pet who deserves all the love. We are having our 4th child and know she deserves more attention than we are able to give currently.

Story
Luna is an 18-month old purebred female Great Dane. She needs to be the only dog in the house as she can be very territorial. She has never been around cats. She has never been around a child younger than 6. She needs someone who has time to dedicate to her. She is crate trained. She has a lot of puppy energy still left and does not know that she is 110lbs. She thinks she is a lap dog.
