Story
Gus is a 3-year-old male Airedale Terrier, born August 25th, and we are looking for someone who is experienced with high-energy dogs and the Airedale breed. Gus is an incredibly sweet, loving, and smart boy. He is very food-motivated, which makes training him especially rewarding. When he has consistency and structure, he is very obedient and knows all of his basic commands. He is not aggressive and has a wonderful personality. Like any typical Airedale, Gus can be a little ornery, goofy, and mischievous at times — he definitely has a personality of his own! ❤️ Because of his energy level, Gus needs a home with lots of room to run, play, and burn off energy. A person or family who enjoys an active lifestyle and understands the needs of a high-energy breed would be ideal. One important thing to know: Gus can clear a standard 6-foot chain-link fence, so he will need secure fencing that is taller than that or another safe setup where he cannot escape.

Story
My son at college got Marvin from a friend who was fostering for the family that could not keep him. My son's university housing would not allow him to keep Marvin. He lived with him for about 3 months. We brought him to our home where we have attempted to find him a home. He is about 3, potty trained, neutered, shots and flea treatment are current. He is sweet and gentle. He is a big guy who loves to snuggle and doesn't realize he is not a lap dog. I have only seen him around other male dogs and he does fine, is not aggressive but wants to play. He rarely barks. We have dogs on both fence lines, and he will run the fence with them while they bark and will not bark at all. He does occasionally bark if a rabbit sits too long in his line of site out the window. We are working on the command come. He is not lease trained and a powerful guy. We are currently working on that too. If adopting family is in the KC area, Engels will always dog sit when available, free of charge.

Story
Millie will be a great addition to someone's home but we just aren't the perfect fit. Millie has undergone extensive training (3-week overnight "bootcamp") and has made great strides, but we have not put in the effort to be consistent at home with what she's learned. We are rehoming because our home is a bit too chaotic for her to be successful and she does not get enough walks & exercise to suit her needs. Millie is good with dogs and loves to play but is definitely dominant which can be overwhelming at first to smaller dogs. She doesn't know how big she is! She's a bit of a counter thief an will steal anything that smells good that has been left unattended. She likes to snuggle and be affectionate and will be all over you to the extent you let her. Millie is high energy and will do great with an active person/family who will give her plenty of walks and opportunity to run and who will be consistent in reinforcing the commands she learned during her training.

Story
Meet Stewart! Stewart is an 8-year-old Lhasa Apso mix with a sweet, loving personality. He is super playful and wonderful with children, cats, and other dogs and would make an amazing addition to a loving home! Stewart has a history of intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), although he has not had an episode in many years. He does best with smaller dogs, as roughhousing with larger dogs can make him anxious. He also prefers not to be rolled onto his back unless he does so himself. Rehoming Stewart has been an incredibly difficult decision for our family. Unfortunately, our living situation has changed, and we are no longer able to give him the time and attention he deserves. Stewart is very loved, and our greatest hope is to find him a wonderful home where he can receive the love, companionship, and care he deserves!

Story
Chase has learned to live with our cat & I've seen him play well with small dogs.He has medium/big dog fear aggression. I asked previous owner if he had been attacked or bitten by another dog or wild animal, they said no. He's been a part of our family for 4 yrs & isn't as reactive w/other dogs as he used to be. That's to say, if he is a good distance he doesn't growl, show teeth, or lunge as much.Chase needs an experienced adopter, plenty of room to roam in his own pvt yard without medium/big dogs nearby. I have talked with a couple of trainers & they think it's likely he can be trained out of his fear aggression. This would be from a knowledgeable owner or trained professional.He loves people & attention. I would caution that he isn't in a home w/small children just because he hasn't lived w/young children in our home or w/original owner.He really is very sweet like Golden Retrievers are known for, he just has some special needs.Any of his supplies you want are part of adoption fee!
