Rottweiler Australian Cattle Dog

Story
Ranger will turn 4 in September 2026. He completed professional training with Sit Means Sit, where he holds a lifetime membership and has access to infinite group classes, which we would transfer over to the new owner. He is extremely intelligent. We live on a farm with approx. 40 chickens and ducks, as well as two ferrets, have never shown aggression towards any of our farm animals. He is crate-trained and can be left out when unattended at home. Ranger is fiercely loyal to his family and devoted to protecting his home. He knows the commands of place, sit, come, go to bed, leave it, heel, and round them up (when herding our animals). He is full of energy and loves being outdoors, especially in the snow. Ranger needs to be in a home without cats, and we are unsure whether he gets along with other dogs. He would do best in a calm home with an owner who doesn't mind being snuggled at all hours of the day.

Details

Story
LuLu is an 8-year-old Beagle/Hound mix who’s a total pro at family life. She’s spent the last four years living with cats and the last two years with her dog sister, Dixie, so she’s very well-socialized. She’s also been around kids of all ages and is a complete sweetheart with them. LuLu is a professional snuggler who loves to burrow under blankets, but she still has that classic hound energy—she’ll need a home with a fence and a family who can take her on regular walks (even though she likes to pull a bit when she finds a good scent!). She’s a typical hound who will definitely raid the trash if she gets the chance, but she makes up for it by being the most loyal, loving companion you could ask for

Size

Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Koda is the biggest sweetheart. I got her when she was a puppy and she will be 2 in February. She can be a little reactive with other dogs sometimes and does not t like to share her toys. I think she would do best in a single-pet household where she gets all the attention and love. She is a fast runner and loves to play catch. She will do anything for a treat (she can sit, shake, lay down, show her belly, and I am sure she could be trained to do more). Getting rid of her will be very hard so I would like an adopter who will keep in touch and will take great care of her. I would prefer if she went to someone with a fenced in yard too. She is a big chewer so you will need lots of hard toys

Ziggy

Labrador Retriever

Female, Young
Kokomo, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ziggy is a one year old lab (2 in July), I got her before I knew I would be forced to move into a smaller home. Ziggy is skiddish around other dogs but with patience and love she is able to get along with other dogs - she is mainly nervous around bigger dogs. She is very energetic and loves to play, her favorites are squeaky toys and balls. Her favorite snacks are carrots, blueberries, and doggy biscuits. She needs a home where she has lots of space to run around in a yard. She needs an owner that has lots of time to give her more training and to give her everything she needs. She is a very lovable girl, she has been around children with no issue but I recommend a slow introduction just to be on the safe side. It would be awesome if her new owners would keep in touch as I'm getting rid of her as a last resort because of several life circumstances.

Feyra

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Kokomo, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This sweet girl is Feyra. She’s 1½, turns 2 in December and a 60lb German Shepherd mix full of love and energy. She’s potty and kennel trained. She knows basic commands like sit, lay down, wait, and here. She comes to her name and to a whistle. Feyra can be a little anxious—she startles with sudden noises or raised voices—but she quietly retreats to her kennel until she feels safe again. She’s great with other dogs, good with confident cats, gentle with kids, and even ignores my chickens. I adopted her before losing my senior dog, hoping it would ease the grief, but my heart just wasn’t ready. She’s a wonderful dog who deserves a home that can give her the love and connection I haven’t been able to. She is spayed, and up to date on shots. She previously injured her back leg (CCL) but healed well—may limp lightly after heavy play. She truly deserves a home ready to bond with her. Small rehoming fee to ensure a good match.

Dixie

Beagle Mutt

Female, Young
Kokomo, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dixie is a 3-year-old mix—we think she’s a blend of Beagle, Cattle Dog, and Husky. She’s a smart girl who knows her commands like a Cattle Dog, but she definitely has that sassy Husky attitude and will "talk back" or show her teeth when she’s feeling opinionated. Dixie is easy to walk and a big-time cuddler who will paw at you for more attention. ​She is naturally protective of her family and is generally good with kids, though she does have firm boundaries. While she has never actually bitten anyone, she did give a warning nip when a toddler pulled her skin too hard, so she’d do best in a home with older children or those who know how to respect a dog's space. Unlike her sister LuLu, Dixie does not do well with cats at all and needs a feline-free home. She can also be a bit "bossy" with her treats or when trying to "correct" LuLu. Dixie is a loyal, vocal girl who just needs a confident owner who understands her big personality
