I also have two girls, not sure if it'll let me post more pictures or not. Neither mother or the father have papers both mixed. Mother best resembles a Belgian Malinois and the father is a boy from her first litter that we kept, and his father was a full blooded Bernese mountain dog with papers. The puppies birthday was January 27th and they are ready for their new homes.

Story
I have a bonded pair of brothers for adoption. They are almost 6, fixed and microchipped. Our lives have changed and we no longer have necessary time or funds to keep them up to date on veterinary care. Archie has allergies and Teddy does not. They are poodle mixed and get groomed about every 12 weeks. They are energetic and cuddly, but get too excited around small children. Good around older kids/teens and adults.

Kokomo, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
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 plays at the dog park with other dogs well but can be a little selfish about toys when it comes to living with another dog, but with time and patience she will do fine! If you already have a dog I'd like us to do a public meet and greet to see how she does with them. 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

Peaches

German Shepherd Dog Poodle (Standard)

Female, Young
Kokomo, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She’s a very loyal and sweet dog to our family, but she is scared of basically any other adult. She seems to be really good with any kids. She has been around several other dogs and seems to do well with them. She was also around our cat and, while she enjoyed a good chase, she didn’t hurt the cat at all. She’s also mostly fur; if she has a haircut she’s very lanky. She loves to play with the ball or fetch. She’s very intelligent and has been easy to train in other things. But her fear makes her bark and growl at adults she doesn’t know WHEN SHE’s AT OUR HOUSE. She goes with the vet or vet tech fine when she’s on a leash and outside of her home environment. She’s just very anxious. Yes, she was socialized a lot as a puppy and has been around a lot of people; she is just scared. We don’t have the money to have her trained by someone special.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
My wife and I got Bruce a little over a year ago. He was born in July of 2024. He’s is potty trained, safe around kids and other pets. He gets excited about our cat but would never hurt him. He does chew on things and is very rambunctious. He is a very sweet dog, but my wife and I both work full time and have a 5 year old son who takes most of our extra energy. I should have never got a dog in our current situation. We just don’t have the time and energy to raise him into the wonderful dog that he could be. We’re not looking for any competition for him other than we want someone who will give him the very best life that he deserves. Rehoming requirements Must own a home Be financially stable Bruce will be a really good dog for the right person and definitely deserves to be.
