Story
We got Gus as a puppy. We have 2 other older dogs that get along with each other fine but Gus does not love the other male. It has become more of a problem as Gus has gotten older. We do have a toddler and he does okay with him. Mostly he will just go to another room if the toddler is annoying him. It has just gotten to a point where the two males are not getting along. He is a great dog as a single dog. Does great going on walks and playing in the yard.

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.

Story
Roscoe belonged to my mother who has had to move into assisted living and has dementia so she is no longer able to care for him. They were a pair and always together. I have kept him for the last year and a half but will be unable to keep him after the end of 2025. He was a rescue and the vet says he is approximately 9 years old as of this last summer. I have a copy of his current vaccination records. He is a loving dog who loves lots of attention. He is potty trained and does not have accidents in the house even when home alone. He does get a little excited during thunderstorms but has medication that he can take for that. We have been told that he is a terrier yorkie mix by the vet. Roscoe is a good boy who would love to have a buddy to hang with again and love him.

This is Daisy (May) she is a sweetheart loves to be outside. Actually anywhere people are. She gets along with other dogs. She likes to chase cats. Would be good with older children. She loves all kids but she doesnt realize how big she is. So younger kids may get knocked down do to her wanting to pet or give them kisses. Not picky on dog food. She was potty trained but with nice weather has been enjoying outside time alot. She likes walks and absolutely loves being petted. She barks but only to alert you someone or something is near. She has not met anyone she has not liked

Story
Where did you acquire your pet? I got him from a shelter. How old is your pet? He is about 2 years old. What are you looking for in a new home? I’m looking for a patient, responsible home that understands large-breed dogs and can give him the time he needs to warm up. A home without other big dogs would be ideal, but he does great with cats and smaller dogs. I want him to go somewhere stable, safe, and loving where he can feel secure and build confidence. What adjectives would you use to describe your pet? Skittish at first, loyal, gentle, smart, playful, sweet, and protective in a calm way.
