Story
Luna is about 6 months old now, she has most of her shots. Shes great with kids and other dogs. She is extremely food driven and ball driven. Loves bones and chewing. We have been told she has high drive to be trained. My other two senior dogs play with her every once in a while but she really is alone. She needs dogs her age. I thought it would make my retriever be active again but hes about 6 years old now. Please inquire, she's a good dog for a great family

Story
Hello all! I have been looking to try to rehome my 3year old great Pyrenees mix for several months now. He is a 75 pound absolute sweetheart. He gets along great with other dogs and doesn’t mind cats either although he can get really excited around small children and knock them over. I feel like with some proper training might help alleviate that we live in EVANSVILLE Indiana and we are very reluctant to drop him off at a animal shelter and wanted to take the hard road to try to find him a good home ourselves. We have a lot of life changes in the past six months that has basically left us with no choice. Please shoot me a p.m. if you would be interested I can fill you in on any questions or give you a more detailed reason why we need to rehome them in a private message thank you so very much for considering him. He’s definitely one of those dogs that you would never regret bringing home!

Story
Gypsy is a very sweet and protective dog. She is very mindful of peoples personal space and waits for others to invite her for love, she is about 8 years old and extremely protective once she gets attached. She has never bit anyone, but she is very guarded at first, nothing a treat cant fix, just show her your a nice person and connect with her, she is guarded with pretty much everyone at first, it just takes her time to adjust.

Story
Moo is a 2 year old lab pyrenees and a trained livestock dog. He was born in a farm and has always been around chickens and is trained to watch them. He has always been an outside dog. He prefers the cold season and would sometimes nap on the snow if it is snowing. He does not bark at any person at all and has never bitten anyone. He is very good around kids and any person. He is independent but loves to cuddle as well. We think he prefers to be the only dog as he truly loves his treats. He likes all treats except vegetables and fruits. The only reason we are trying to rehome him is he likes to wander the neighborhood despite of the money and time spent on our fence to secure him. He has never been a trouble to those who find him and very well liked by others. We have a brand new baby at home and with us working all day it has been difficult to always come pick him up or find him.

Story
Very good dog just don’t have the space or time for him. He’s a little selective with other dogs so for that reason he will need someone experienced to help get him over that. He came from a bad situation and we were only supposed to foster him for a few months but now it’s been several and we’ve kinda just been stuck with him now and he deserves someone that truly wants him and will take him places to have fun with him. Does great with my dogs and cats, pays zero attention to the cats.

Story
His name is Boone. We rescued him from Warrick Co, IN and, unfortunately, my life situation has changed significantly. He is the sweetest dog. Loves to snuggle, run, and be a companion. I do not have to crate him when I leave. He is great and chews nothing. I simply can't give him the time he deserves anymore. He is fantastic with kids. I brought a newborn home with him there. He was a sweetheart. His shots are up to date and I have records. I also have a kennel should you want it or choose to kennel him.
