Story
Lucy is an amazing Dalmatian/Blue Heeler mix. She is a very calm, gentle, and loving dog who gets along with every dog and person she has ever met. She likes to cuddle, run, hike, swim, and above all else loves to play fetch. She has no problem lounging around until she gets a chance to go run and play and is happy to do so at any time. We just want her to go to a home where she will be loved and get to play and exercise with a family that cherishes her. Lucy loves other dogs, cats, and kids and will be happy in any home.

Story
Coop and Olly are purebred mini Aussies. I got Olly first 3 years ago and got Coop a year later so Olly had company. Coop is a very high energy dog who needs more room to run around all day. He has herding instincts, but makes a great companion at the same time. He is a cuddle bug and is so kind. He would never hurt another dog, but he does like to bark at them and provoke them if there is a fence in between them lol. He loves to chase other dogs at the dog park and prove he’s faster than them and nip the other dog in the butt. Again, he doesn’t hurt them he just gets over excited, but he is really a softy. He’s never shown aggression. Great with other kids, strangers approaching him, you name it. Olly on the other hand is very particular about who she trusts. She can be aggressive if she doesn’t know you, and trust you. Once you have her trust though, she is an angel. But she is more of a mid energy dog. Olly has some other anger situations. I can explain these in more detail.

Story
Lulu is a big, sweet, livestock guardian dog. She knows commands, is leash and house trained. She was born in November 2022 so she is about 2.5 yrs old. She loves to run and play and protect chickens and other small animals. She gets along with other dogs, both large and small but will chase cats. She would be happiest in a large yard - preferably a ranch or family farm where she can guard other animals. Currently, she spends all day outside in the yard but sleeps inside most nights. We will be including her oversized dog house (if needed) that includes a bluetooth heater and a large dog crate. We are retiring our chickens and not getting new ones so she will be bored and sad with nothing to do. She does great with other dogs and would welcome friends. She weighs about 95lbs.

Huck

Corgi Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Adult
Boise, ID

Story
Meet Huck, a 5-year-old male Corgi x Heeler mix seeking his true forever home. Weighing ~35 pounds, Huck is energetic and loves car rides, walks, playing tug, and snuggling with his humans. He’s been through extensive training and is well-behaved on leash, knows commands like sit, down, place, heel, and is kennel-trained. Huck can be vocal, is eager to please, and is food-motivated, making him a quick learner. He is being rehomed because he and the other (larger) dog are not getting along despite extensive efforts. He needs a home where he’s the only dog and he will thrive as the center of attention. He's not suited for homes with cats, chickens, or young kids. Huck is UTD on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, and healthy, with minor seasonal allergies. He’ll thrive in a home with a big fenced yard or space to explore. If you want a loyal, active companion, he's your Huckleberry! An application and home check are required to ensure the best fit. Thanks for considering this sweet boy!

Story
We adopted Charlie Bear from the pound. We don't know what his history is, but we do know that he is a great dog. Because of his size (125 lbs), he seems intimidating. But he's a big softie. He loves to play, is very food motivated, and great with dogs, cats, and kids. Ideally he would need a big yard, where he can explore and play. He needs leash training, due to his size, we were unsuccessful in that area. But with patience and more knowledge, he would do great. He's very loving, and has a huge personality. He loves stuffed animals, but will destroy them quickly lol. Keep-away is his favorite game. We are moving to an apartment 2500 miles away, and he would not do well being so contained, without a yard to play in. He deserves a loving home with someone who would be able to devote time and energy to match his.
