Story
Loki is very high energy. He is 12 years old but has no health issues. He can still run and jump with no signs of pain. We adopted Loki from an animal shelter. Our main reason for rehoming is he is aggressive towards our child. And as he gets older it is getting worse. He nips at our son, follows him around and barks non stop at him. When our son is at school Loki is chill and sleeps. The doctor did tell us he has anxiety. He does not do well in a crate. Loki needs a home that can give him walks, and exercise. He loves to catch balls or frisbees. He does okay at doggie day care but does not do well with dogs in his territory. He barks a lot at people he sees outside but with adults he is loving and just wants attention.

Story
We need to re-home our family dog due to a change in household dynamics. Patch is a very loving dog, who is playful but also calm in response to his owner’s emotions. Over the last few months, his environment has changed from a home with a few older kids, to a home with several small kids. Unfortunately, he is having a difficult time coping in the new environment. Patch has been our family’s dog for 9 years, and will make an excellent addition to your home if you have older kids and adults. All vaccines and wellness checks are current. Name: Apache (Patch) Dog Breed: Lab, black Gender: Male, neutered Age: 9 yrs Health Condition: Excellent Temperament: Playful and calm If you are interested in adopting Patch or know someone who might be, please let me know!

Story
We are looking for a new forever home for our sweet girl Hazel. She is the sweetest girl, but unfortunately, she and our other female dog are no longer getting along to the point that they can not physically be around each other in anyway. Hazel is approximately two years old, spayed, microchipped and up-to-date on vaccinations, 59% English Shepard + a mix of Rottweiler/Pit She is good with cats, never been around young kids, and needs to be an only dog. She loves to run around a fenced yard, go on walks, loves car rides, Housetrained but does not care for the kennel Very scared of thunderstorms and has anxiety at times (has a script for Trazadone to help with anxiety) Needs an adopter that is patient with her while she warms up to you, she will growl at first b/c of nerves. She may get along with other male dogs but would be best as an only dog. She sleeps in bed with us or her bed and loves cuddles. Screening through Found A Hound Rescue (no fee if approved) She needs a hero!
