Story
Rosie showed up at my house a little over a year ago. I took her in while I put her on social media hoping to find her owner. Nobody claimed her so she became a member of the family. The vet thinks she is around 3-4 years old. I have had her in the house and breezeway for over a year. I do not want her in the house any longer. I think she would make a great outside dog. She is super cuddly and a very sweet dog. She does well with kids and my other dog. She loves being outside and playing. She requires a lot of attention and a close eye kept on her as she likes to get on a scent and wander. I gave her an amazing life for the last year but am not ready to have an outside dog right now.

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.

Biscuit

Shepsky

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Biscuit, a handsome 7-month-old Shepsky (GSD/Husky mix). He is high-energy, vocal, and fully house & crate trained! Biscuit is incredibly smart and loyal but requires an experienced handler who understands working breeds. TRAINING & BEHAVIOR: Biscuit is a puppy with high "drive." He currently exhibits resource guarding and can be "mouthy" when overstimulated or guarding his space. He has a high prey drive and will chase cats; he also plays rough with other dogs. He needs a home with a large, securely fenced-in yard and an active owner dedicated to ongoing positive reinforcement training. HEALTH: Up to date on shots; not yet neutered. Note: He has unique double dewclaws on his rear paws. One is very sensitive/thin and requires professional care for trimming as it bleeds easily. IDEAL HOME: Best suited as the only pet or with a high-energy companion who can handle rough play. Due to his size and nipping tendencies when guarding, a home with older children or adults only is preferred

Story
Tank is almost 8 & Truck almost 6. Their owners are getting divorced & neither of them are taking the dogs. The lady said if no one took them she would put them down. I am fostering them. I have 3 dogs of my own, I need to find a great place for them as soon as possible. This is a very urgent. They have been together their entire lives & are leaning on each other for support, I am praying they can stay together. No known health issues, just some good ole boys needing a new forever home. The previous owners had 3 cats, good with kids. 90 lbs a piece, would like to see them stay together. They are neutered and up to date on shots.
