Story
9 year old female Black Lab Mix named Willow we are looking to rehome. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old and she has been loved all of her life. Unfortunately, with our growing family we are having a hard time finding time for her and want her to have the best life for her remaining years. We have a 2 year old daughter and a new born boy now. She hasn't been a issue around either but she does like her space. Our 2 year has a hard time giving her the space she wants and I fear she may end up biting her. I don't believe she ever would, but she has shown signs that she is uncomfortable. Willow is microchipped and has had all vaccines up until this last year. She gets simparica trio each month and has never had any health issues other than an eye infection that was resolved when she was around 3.

Story
Gibson is the black one, and Ozzy is the grey merle. Gibson has husky in his mix, he's got the year-round undercoat but more importantly the husky friendliness and playfulness. He's quiet, unlike a husky, and rarely barks. Ozzy is a velcro aussie, and he's a talker when he's wound up. The kong tennis ball bone is Ozzy's most favoritest toy ever. Both are between 9-10 years old, and ~70 lbs. Both are great with all ages, and domestic pets (have had direct experience with cats and bunnies). They are both shepherds at heart, and they stay in their home yard/area without needing to be watched. They're both protective of their family, but not aggressive or hostile at it. Both are extremely playful and love to rough house, and technically play fetch, though both like to hold onto the toy and tease each other into playing tug of war, so getting the toy back isn't always easy.

Story
Winston will be 1 year old in Oct 2027. We purchased him at a breeder in Illinois. Looking to rehome to a loving family that has the time and experience to care for a super energetic pup. Winston is super energetic and still has a lot of puppy energy in him. He loves to run around in the yard and loves attention. Not a fan of cats.

Story
Bella is a very sweet and loving 5 year old dog. She has lots of energy but understands “no” and “down”. She does “sit” somewhat “lay down” and “come”. She is a super chewer and WILL destroy stuffed/padded toys and beds. She does really like plain blankets though. She likes collagen chews and enjoys puppy puzzles for treats and snuffle mats. Does well on a leash, pulls slightly but not bad. She does jump 4ft fences so would need either an acreage with invisible fence or at least a 6ft privacy fences. Although it is unknown if she can jump that height of fence. She loves to make friends with other dogs, is good with cats, but our cat frightens her slightly. Fantastic with kids, women, men. Hates thunderstorms.
