Story
We adopted Elvis from a shelter in 2019 (he was 3 or 4). Elvis is a very good boy and a major couch potato but still loves to go on walks and run around in the yard. Elvis spends most of his day lying by his food bowl and is very food-motivated. While he loves being around our other dog, he does need to be separated during feeding. Elvis is a typical hound dog and shares what is on his mind. He will always make sure that you are giving him plenty of love, as he will howl and cry for more attention. Elvis also loves carrying around pairs of socks from those he loves. He is very cuddly and spends every night sleeping next to my teenage son and our other dog. Elvis does fine with other dogs and kids if there is no food involved. Because of his food motivation and territorial personality, it is not recommended he spend a lot of time with little children who tend to have snacks at hand, which is why we are rehoming him. Young grandkids do not understand Elvis and his love for food.

Story
Tiana is a good dog and is great with people. She is aggressive towards other dogs and we have no idea why. She has bitten other dogs and already has 2 strikes. We hate to get rid of her, but she's a risk to take care of. We've had her for nearly 5 years and in the past 2 years, the aggression has got worse. She's a sweet girl, but we don't know what to do with her. We're looking for someone who has experience with aggressive dogs and could give her another chance. It breaks our hearts because we have two other dogs she gets along with great! We found her at the animal shelter in Indianapolis and she was a stray.

Story
Griffin is a 1.5 year old, neutered male. He is 40 lbs and up to date on all shots. He has a lot of energy. He loves to play fetch and swim! He would swim all day if we let him! We have another dog, a great dane that he has gotten along great with, he does try to be the "alpha" but with our great dane's ho-hum nature, it has not been an issue. We also have two cats, he is always interested in them but has never bitten or aggressively chased them. Our neighbor has chickens that he loves to try and herd! He has never bitten them, even when they come into our yard. He is housebroken and crate trained. He knows the commands of sit, come and working on stay at the moment (it's 50/50). The biggest issue is that I cannot try to show him affection or, as the vet describes it, he submissively pees. This breaks my heart because I have always wanted this breed. He listens to me all the time, he tries to push the boundaries with my wife. We tried to make him an inside dog. He is not an inside dog

She has an Excellent recall, but we are working on stay. Lol She loves to run, play and jump! She especially loves squirrels! 6ft fence would be necessary.

Story
Neegan Love cuddling and playing with people Love toys Love treats Housebroken Working on my leash etiquette I share my current home with an older, very super calm/submissive foster sister, but I'm a strong, strapping young boy who would love to be your one and only (I think I need to be an only fur kid). Neegan is a big, loving boy who needs and does well with consistent structure and guidance. His leash etiquette is growing, and he is doing great thanks to wearing a Gentle Leader (although he is not the biggest fan). He would thrive best with an experienced handler.
