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
Ace is 4.5 years old. He is very loving, loyal and well behaved. He really loves the attention of kids, and his family. He is used to being in a small safe gated area, while being home alone. He is potty trained well, will let you know when he needs a walk, and he waits until morning to be let out. We let him out about 4-5 times a day. One of those being a full walk. He could probably go longer between let outs, but he is used to his schedule, and knows when it is walk time. He does well on a leash, and has been used to it since 2 months old when we got him. He is protective of his family and alerts you when anyone else approaches. He doesn't bark other than to alert you of others. He only whines when he needs food, water or a walk. He is very chill, and easy going. He does still have excited energetic moments because he is still young, but he calms easily. He is pretty smart. I'm sure he could be trained fully (beyond potty training) really easily.

Story
This is Kai, he is an American Pocket Bully and he is a tank. We have had him since he was a puppy 10 weeks old. He has been raised around our 4 children whose current ages are 6, 8, 17, and 18. We are looking to rehome because he just does not get the attention he requires. He is house trained and rings the bells at the back door when he needs to go out. He does have some behavioral issues. He shows small signs of aggression when it comes to his food bowl and with any type of pig ear or treats similar. He eats on command after you put the bowl down and eats when you say eat. We have ultimately worked around this by having him eat and picking up his food bowl and setting it out of sight when he is finished. He is a dominant dog so if you have other dogs this could be problematic depending on the other dogs temperament. We also have a cat that he sometimes chases. From what I can tell he is just trying to play, but the cat hates him. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Story
Hello, so we got Abby from a friend and they said she was fixed. We discovered that’s not the case after she had puppies, the puppies have been homed. We cannot afford to get her fixed or wait for an appointment to get it done due to the 3 males we have. So rather than put her in the pound we’re trying to find her a home. She is pretty well house trained. She will tell you when is ready to go outside, however she has the occasional accident. Her favorite treats are just about anything, she will try to get into the trash if she is left unattended and has access. Other than that she’s a very good girl loves to cuddle and is very smart. She likes sticks but isn’t too big on catch. She’s approximately 1 year old.

Story
She was in a litter at the Vanderburgh Humane Society and now she's 2 months old. We adopted her but could not handle the burden of a puppy as we hoped we could, our cat handles her fine but it may vary from cat to cat and the pup herself doesn't pay much attention to him. She has been spayed and her vaccination file will be provided, as well as some food. We are now looking to rehome this 2 month old puppy to give her a better home than we can provide.

Story
Her name is sasha and she's a very smart dog but needs somewhere that can be around more and that can take her outside more often. She is a Australian Sheppard mix with a nice shiny brown coat. She is a good all-around dog but with our smaller space and two cats it's gotten too much to handle for us. She would do better with someone retired or that owns farmland to run around, and one or two dogs is fine she likes to play. If anyone is interested don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks, Chris
