Story
My parents had her since she was 8 weeks old. Zoe is now 5 and is a very good dog when she is the only one. My parents were looking for a new home for her because she attacked one of the other dogs. So I took her in. I then learned she has seperation anxiety and due to my unpredictable work schedule I have to rehome her. I would like for her to go to a family that has a yard so she can play and let out some energy. It would also be nice if someone was home with her most of the time. Zoe is a very playful dog. She can also be very loving. Zoe does get along with children's just fine. I AM HAVING ISSUES ADDING MORE PHOTOS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED I WILL SEND YOU MORE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!

Story
Suki is a sweet girl who works hard for your love and attention. She can get anxious at times, fireworks, storms and car rides are not her favorite things. She and her brother do everything together. She does have a high prey drive and has caught a few squirrels. Both dogs would require a fenced in yard. She like nothing more than to Netflix & chill with you, enjoy cuddles and snacks. She has endless love to give! 💕

Story
Birdie and his sister are rescues. They are border collie and lab mixes. They want nothing more than to chase a squirrel and then rest at your feet for the rest of the day. Small children make them nervous, so I don’t recommend a household with a child smaller than the dogs. Preteens and older would be great. They are sweet and lovable. They got very use to us being home over the pandemic and now that no one is home it is hard on them. Birdie would love to snuggle with you!

Story
I got her when she was around 4 or 5 weeks old. She is now turning 1 around Thanksgiving. She has been very hard to potty train only because im not home enough to be consistent. She is a cuddler. She gets the zoomies some times. She might have separation anxiety from being alone for 14 or more hours a day. Recently, when taking her outside she has been easily distracted by other animals and then won't go potty. She knows sit command and that is all. She would most definitely benefit from being with a family that has more free schedule and resources to train her if possible. I don't know her exact breed I'm just going by what the vet told me. She is definitely smaller than the picture makes her out to be. She is short and only weighs 45 pounds. Please help give this girl the life she deserves
