Story
Meet Bonesie. Bones is 7 years old (8 in September), he currently lives with 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 people. He loves treats, soft toys, tortilla chips, and belly rubs. He is trained to ring a bell when he has to go to the bathroom and he is crate trained for up to 8 hours at a time. Bones is needing a new home because he needs space to run and work off his energy. He is a Border Collie mix, so he is always wanting to corral his brothers. He is good with cats and dogs, but he is VERY protective of treats and toys. He is currently on anxiety medication from his vet. He is a fierce protector, but once he knows you are welcome in his home he will sit on your lap and give you kisses. He has a 6 year old human cousin and other children that he gets along with fine. He just doesn't like it when kids try to steal his toys or food. He loves to look out the window and is a great bedtime snuggle. He does get warm easily, so he will probably be on the floor when you wake up.

Story
Iris is such a sweet and fun Australian Shepherd but due to a small house and the fact that she doesn't do well with our other dogs, she will have a better life in a different home. She is the smartest Aussie I have ever had - and I've had 4 of them! She loves to work, learn tricks, and hike. She is highly food motivated, highly motivated to please. She'll have her energy bursts, but once she gets her daily walk or play in, she wants nothing more than to snuggle up to you. She will be going to a professional trainer in May to help her with her stress levels - she is scared of strangers and is reactive. She does have some resource guarding - more so with dogs, but I would advise a house without young children. The trainers are going to help with the transition from our home to yours - we will be covering the expense of the "Transition Training". Even better, if you want to take her in May, you can take over with her Board and Train and the trainers will walk you through everything.

Story
Do you own a couch? Can I come plop my butt on it? Do you enjoy Netflix and just chilling? That sounds like a good time to me! I am a laid back girl that just enjoys relaxing and hanging out. Some sniffing around outside is ok, too. I do have some lumps on me but they just give me character. That guy in a white coat said the pumps are fine but I should not be given so many treats. How rude! I love my treats. He did say I could go for more walks, though. That would be fine with me. I met those pesty things called cats and I thought they were snacks. I guess that is frowned upon so I guess I need a home without them. I am now in a foster home and doing very well! Come me meet me! 260-463-4142.
