Story
Boston has experience with other dogs, cats and small children. Our home environment is just not suitable/too overwhelming for him. When we brought him home he was doing really well but has increasingly gotten more anxious&slightly aggressive with my other dog. He is NOT house trained &is having a very hard time with learning which is ultimately why we are rehoming him. He was food aggressive when we first brought him home but that is no longer an issue with him. Experience with other dogs: he does well with other dogs, he is friendly&likes to play, but does get a little crazy. He does not like big groups of dogs. Experience with cats: he has been around cats &is curious of them but still unsure. Has never shown aggression toward cats. Experience with children: he has been around my 2yr & 4 yr old and does well with them, but gets overwhelmed easily with them. While he is good with small children I think he would be better suited for a home with older or no children.

Aldo

German Shorthaired Pointer Labradoodle

Story
Aldo is a loyal 4-year-old (born October 14) with a Labradoodle mom and GSP dad, taking after his GSP side. At home, he is calm, obedient, and stays alone during the day without issue. We sometimes take him to daycare at Wagmore (Lawrence, KS) and will board him there when we are out of town. He’s been around our young kids since puppyhood, but because he can be anxious around people he doesn’t know — sometimes barking or attempting to nip when nervous — he needs a home without children. Once Aldo builds trust, he is affectionate and easygoing. He does better with large dogs than small ones and would thrive with a large yard to roam. Aldo is happiest off-leash in open spaces and would be a wonderful companion for someone who is willing to put some time into understanding him and can give him time to settle.

Oscar

Goldendoodle

Male, Young
Lawrence, KS
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oscar is a very friendly and lovable Goldendoodle, who is 2.5 years old. He loves being outside, playing in the yard, chasing a ball, and any playtime with other dogs. He absolutely loves his time at doggy daycare, where he can make new friends and play, wrestle, and chase. He's a typical Doodle...a little quirky and goofy, and still has some puppy tendencies, but knows all the basic training commands, including sit, stay, down, and "with me". Oscar does very well on a leash, and responds well off-leash in a dog park environment. He does not bark at other dogs, and only barks at humans when they approach or enter the house without warning. We are making the tough decision to rehome him due to changes in our household lifestyle. My role at work now has me traveling 60-70% of the time and Oscar does not get an adequate amount of exercise and interaction, due to my schedule. We really would love for Oscar to have a home where he can thrive and have the attention he deserves.
