Story

Meet Nala! 💜 Nala is a delightful, 25-pound heeler mix, just over a year old, looking for her forever family! Professionally trained by Puppy Powers Dog Care & Training in both on- and off-leash obedience, she's housebroken, crate trained, and an incredibly easy companion. Nala is exceptionally playful & social! She currently lives in a professional dog daycare environment, where she meets new male and female dogs daily and gets along beautifully with everyone. She's also lived with cats and has some exposure to horses. She's wonderful in the car, low maintenance, and absolutely LOVES to cuddle! Nala offers a fantastic combination of intelligence, affection, and personality in a compact package. As a young heeler, Nala has natural herding instincts and can get a little too enthusiastic around toddlers. She'd be happiest in a home with children ages 5 and older or an adult household. We're seeking a loving, permanent home where this special girl can thrive. 💜

Pepper

Australian Cattle Dog Australian Shepherd

Female, Young

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Pepper came from a shelter in Louisiana so we don’t know a lot about her past. She is a lovely and lively girl! She is very smart and is eager to train and please. She comes when called and knows basic commands. Her favorite outside game is “the name game” and her favorite indoor game is tug. She loves other dogs but isn’t so keen on cats, which unfortunately, is the reason we’re seeking to rehome her. She would do well in a home with experience with shelter dogs and/or herding breeds ad well as a large yard. As a herding breed, she thrives with outdoor activities and enrichment games. She can become nippy when excited, but she’s learning boundaries. The nipping comes from excitement and frustration, not aggression. She is very snuggly and a great night time cuddle companion. With clear boundaries, communication, and plenty of exercise, she will be the perfect bestie.

Story

Emmett is 5 and a half years old. He has been with us since he was 6 months old. He is a high energy dog who enjoys playing outside. For the last 2 years he has enjoyed his fenced in back yard. Emmett gets along with our other dog dexter just fine. Him and Dexter have been roommates since we brought Emmett home. I tried socialize Emmett with other dogs at the dog park when he was younger. He did not get along well with other territorial dogs. Emmett can be territorial himself. He would defend the water bowl at the dog park. After a couple of close calls with other dogs, I decided to stop bringing him to the dog park. We have a 9 year old niece who visits from time to time. He seems to become overstimulated by her very easily. He does not like her approaching him and has growled at her more than once. We have a 18 month old daughter. As she’s started to walk, Emmett is uncomfortable with her approaching him. We have to keep him separated from her while she’s awake.

Story

Bonnie will be 3 in September and is currently weighing in at 105 lbs. Bonnie is a big girl that loves to cuddle once she knows her people. She loves to play with toys and chase a ball outside. Once she knows you, she will be the biggest lap dog for cuddles. She is very protective and does not react well to new people. She needs a slow introduction with any new people. She goes for the hands of people she doesn’t know very well if they move too fast. While we love Bonnie and her goofy and playful personality we are rehoming because she needs someone that can maybe work with her and her aggressive tendencies towards people and other dogs. We are around too many people and animals for her to work with our family anymore. She currently gets along well with our other dog and her sister that came from the same litter as her but has attacked another dog that was also acting like a “top dog”.
