Story
We got Eilla as a puppy. She loves to cuddle and is very playful. She is crate and house trained. She loves to play tug-o-war with her monkeys. She loves the rubber pigs we find in the store. She pulls the stuffing out of everything but she ahs to keep the body. She has not torn into anything since she was a small puppy. She enjoys treats and well just about any food if we aren't careful. She gets along most of the time with the other animals in the house but has recently started acting out towards our older dog. For the safety of all of the animals we think it would be best if she were in a home where she was the only pet. The cat that is pictured in one of the pictures is the only cat she lets rub all over her. She likes to sleep with us or under the bed at night. She likes to sit in our chairs with us when we are watching tv. She is scared of the mower, loud trucks, the equipment they use to work on roads, and fireworks or loud bangs of the sort.

Story
This is Ranger, I have had him since he was a pup, I had gotten him from a local breeder. He is going to be 6 on 10/8. I need someone who is experienced in GSD’s and someone who has the time to train him and give him the attention he needs. He’s pretty spunky, loves playing fetch, but needs work as far as releasing and not chomping at the ball when you go to pick it up. He has been around a toddler, does great. He has been around cats his whole life, he only chases them if they run. He had a dog brother, but he passed in 9/2021 from epilepsy. He can be kind of timid at first. He does have anxiety when it comes to storms/thunder, gun shots and fireworks. Ideally someone with a lot of land or a good fenced in yard. He is underground fence trained. Loves car rides. He is also crate trained and house trained. Been inside dog his whole life.
