Story
Found as a stray at 3.5 mos and fostered for 2 wks before getting adopted by her previous owner who was a terrible fit for her from the start. At 9 mos she was rescued along a busy county road, and her owner surrendered her to us. We have had her for 1 mo now, but she isn't a good fit in our home due to her being aggressive and attacking our other 2 dogs. She is the sweetest, most loving girl who thrives on constant attention from any human. She would do well in a home where she is the only pet and any kids are aged 10+. She's definitely a wild wolf at heart, and needs a ton of exercise and time spent training her. She has learned some commands with us, is now properly nourished, attempting to learn leash manners, and we have crate trained her. She will require a large, fenced in yard (6' privacy or in-ground is best). She loves water and swimming, car rides, and tug-of-war. Adoption fee covers all of her puppy food, flea meds, and crate. She will do great in the appropriate home! 😊🩷

Story
URGENT!Tank is one of the puppies that we had in a litter of 10 puppies (Cona is the mom, she is the other dog we need to rehome). Tank is very excited and loves to play. He loves to licks faces. Tank is almost 2 years, birthday Aug 23, 2024. He is not neutered. He does go on walks sometimes, but mostly gets exercise from running around the fenced back yard. Tank does get very nervous, especially when going to the vet, usually has to takes medicine to calm him prior to going to the vet. Tank does get very much into playing and did get aggressive towards another one of our dogs, which is why we need to rehome him. so, if interested, might need to be in a home with no other dogs, unless one is able to take in our other dog too, he is ok with her. Tank is house trained . He does go to his crate when we lead him to it.

Story
I wish I could tell you everything about Pants but unfortunately I am not sure. She was given to my family by a friend of my father who was moving out of state. Even though I wish we could keep her we haven’t been able to keep her inside full time. My son’s allergies are severe to the point of causing nose bleeds. I try and bring her inside with me while they are gone every other weekend but that’s not fair to anyone. She has been spending a majority of her time in the garage (cooled and heated) with a doggie door. Here lately it’s been an even larger struggle with me returning to school. I haven’t been able to keep up with grooming as much as I’d like and once again that’s not fair to her. She plays gentle but she can go for hours. Will listen to basic commands (when she wants to). Has been around older children. As for potty training that’s hit or miss with a majority of the time being not indoors. Especially changing environments I’m not positive that will be flawless.

Story
Rogue is a very social and sweet 10yo Husky who LOVES affection and never meets a stranger. Been with us since she was a puppy. She needs a home with plenty of space to roam and another dog companion would be a big plus. She struggles with cage confinement anxiety, but due to a growing family and living in an apartment we’ve had to try and adjust her to staying in a crate when we’re gone and it’s created behavioral issues. She’s on vet prescribed trazodone to help her handle the stress of being crated. Without meds she will escape any and all crates even at the expense of injuring herself, that is why we pursued the medication. She is puppy pad trained also, but doesn’t always hit the pad which is why we had to switch to a crate since our carpet is the only place we have to put pads. She loves kids and other dogs but being at her age it’s getting harder for her to keep up. She LOVES naps and prefers to be a couch potato most of the time.

Story
Orion is 2 years old. He's neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, potty trained, and knows basic commands like sit, wait, and here.He's a sweet, goofy, happy boy who loves people and gets along well with other dogs, cats, and small animals. He's very food motivated and would be easy to teach more tricks! He loves to play fetch and is always ready to give kisses. He's just as happy curling up in his bed for a nap.This is a very difficult decision. Orion is a wonderful dog, but my husband was never able to form the bond he deserves. We want to find him a family who will love him as much as he'll love them.If you think Orion could be a good fit for your family or have any questions, please send me a message. We want nothing more than to find him the loving forever home he deserves.
