Story
Coco is a 6 year old dachshund mix, who we rescued in May 2021. Coco is spayed and up to date on all vaccines and has no known medical conditions. Coco is a very kind and gentle dog, who loves cuddling and spending time outside. Coco is house and crate trained and does well in cars. She enjoys fetch with her toys and being around us and would be a great companion in the perfect home. Coco gets anxious around other dogs, and has shown signs of aggression towards dogs that are her size or smaller, but has been OK with larger adult dogs. She will bark and pull on walks when she sees other dogs, so a fenced in yard is a plus. Coco does not do well with young children, which is why we are rehoming her. We have a 2 year old child, and Coco became very anxious and uncomfortable when she began to walk. We had an incident where Coco knocked our daughter down unprovoked, resulting in her being hurt. Coco has been OK with older kids but needs a home with no young children or small dogs

Story
Coco is a beautiful mixed breed puppy. We got her when she was 10 weeks, and she’s loving and playful. Unfortunately my wife travels for work and my kids are in high school, leaving the brunt of her care to me. I cannot handle the care and training of a puppy at this time as I’m looking for full time work. As much as we love Coco, none of my family can devote care to her full time.

Story
Scout is a super handsome, energetic 18 month old Australian Sheppard mix from a rescue, smart as a whip and can figure out any puzzle. He does great with long walks and really enjoys the outdoors. Scout will be successful with a large fenced yard or ranch, no children and possibly a second dog to keep his mind ever active. Scout's new owner must be experienced as he has an inclination to show reactivity and resource guarding his owner. He has anxiety that is at the root of this behavior and takes medication to help with this. His breed is mostly Australian Sheppard, with DNA also showing American Pit Bull and Chow Chow and will be an excellent herding dog. He has anxiety that is at the root of this behavior and takes medication to help with this.

Story
Meet Howie, your soon-to-be professional cuddle consultant! This adorable pit mix has earned his PhD in Human Affection Studies, with a minor in Couch Potato Arts. His research focuses primarily on optimal snuggle techniques and the perfect head-tilt-to-treat ratio.While Howie excels at human interaction, he`s discovered that he prefers to be the star of the show in his forever home. Like that friend who thrives in one-on-one conversations rather than big group settings, Howie would do best as the only dog in the household where he can lavish all his attention on his human family.When he`s not practicing his award-winning puppy eyes or perfecting his lap-dog techniques (despite not exactly being lap-sized), Howie`s dreaming of finding his forever family where he can be the one and only furry companion. Could you be the one to help this sweet boy write his next chapter?Howie weighs 52lbs
