Story
Camas is around 7 years old, exact birthdate unknown as she was adopted. Our family has grown, and with new jobs as well, we simply don’t have adequate time to give to Camas. Camas thrives going on hikes and runs/mtn bike rides. She is affectionate and loves to cuddle after a hard day of activity. Camas is a good guard dog and will bark at strangers approaching the house. She is otherwise friendly to people and other dogs. Camas would thrive in a home where she will gets lots of attention and enjoy the outdoors.

Story
I have had Bear since he was about 3 months old. I got him from a friend off of Facebook. He was very scared when I met with the lady I was buying him from and I should have clued into that. I have tried to socialize him since he was a puppy with little success. He has improved a great deal but needs to be with someone that understands reactivity issues towards other dogs as well as resource guarding toys. He is very loving and sweet. He does get along with other dogs he has known since he was a puppy but dogs that we pass on our walks are too much for him. I have spent the last 5 months working with an experienced trainer in the area and have had some success but the reactivity is too much for me. He is very strong and very determined to get to the other dogs. We have to cross the street or turn down a street in order to maintain threshold. I can give you the number of the trainer, he comes to you and is on the cheaper end! Bear walks well on leash and has basic obedience.

Stori has been with me for about 4 years. She is always up for an adventure or for just relaxing. Super mild temperament amazing with people and kids and can acclimate to dogs easily. When she initially came into my home she was fairly reactive but was a quick learner and eager to please she has made amazing progress with medium and large dogs but has not had much experience with cats or small dogs. She is an amazing loving companion.

Story
Elvis is an approximately 4 year old Shepherd. He is fairly active, loves kids, other dogs and chasing squirrels. He is vaccinated, microchipped, neutered and good with basic obedience commands. Unfortunately, his prey drive is high with small animals and needs a home without cats (or plans to ever get a cat). This is the reason we are looking to rehome.

Sherman

American Pit Bull Terrier

Boise, ID

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sherman is a very sweet, loving and loyal dog. He is great with kids. He is not and never has been aggressive towards humans or kids at all. He would be good as an only dog or in a house with another female dog. The only time he has been aggressive towards other dogs is if the dog is male, not neutered and introduced on leash. He would be fine with a male dog as long as it's a small breed. We have had him since he was 12 weeks old. He will be 3 on June 5th. We are devastated to have to rehome him but we don't have a choice, we have to downsize d/t health issues and don't have room for him. Sherman is total goofball with quite the personality. He thinks he is a lap dog. He would be a wonderful companion for anyone seeking emotional support. Serious inquiries only!

Nemo

German Shorthaired Pointer Border Collie

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
He is an outgoing, incredibly smart boy with so much love to give. He has a big personality and an even bigger heart, and he truly thrives on being part of the family. He’s wonderful with kids, cats, and other dogs, and just wants to be included in whatever you’re doing. He has plenty of energy and would do best in an active home that can give him the time, structure, and attention he deserves. He loves the toughest toys you can buy, is always ready for hikes or long walks, and never turns down an adventure. At night, he’s happiest curled up under the covers, sleeping right next to his people. We’re making the difficult decision to rehome him as our growing family can no longer prioritize his needs. He would flourish in a home where he’s deeply loved and truly prioritized —a farm or active household would be a dream for him.
