Story
2 years ago I picked up Jax from someone who was giving him away for free. The first year was wonderful, but now Jax and my other male dog do not get along and cannot be together. He is best in a home without other male dogs. He attended a 4 week board and train program and excelled. Jax is 4 years old and neutered. He is a great dog with a ton of potential. When I sent him to training last summer he was UTD on shots.

Story
Male Husky mix(ChatGPT says likely a husky/shepherd and/or lab combo) puppy around 7-8 months old. I have had him since 5/16. I offered to take him in and work with him and then help to find him a home because he was with someone who did not have the patience or interest and left him outside alone away from everything and without any interaction. He has done great indoors and has done well in a kennel. I take him outside every 1-2 hours to use the bathroom. He has only had a couple accidents over night in the kennel. He has been terrified since day one and is still pretty scared. He has taken up a spot on my couch and does not leave it except to go outside or in his kennel. He is terrified of most noises and is terrified of males. He would do best with a female only household or a primarily female owner. He has done well with a 5 year old gentle loving child. I have 4 other dogs and he has not been aggressive towards them at all. Good around cats. Someone who would is good at training

Blue is going to be around 5 this year. We got him from my aunt who is moving, it was unknown that he Is not good with other dogs. He won’t go after other dogs but doesn’t need to be up close/in a home with them. He is a big lap dog who loves cuddles. He has a thin coat so always wants to be under blankets. He does amazing with kids, he does not always know how big he is. Knows basic commands and is an attention lover. He is a very loving dog and needs a good home.

Story
dog found in Louisville KY by my daughter. Due to having 3 dogs i agreed to have on farm to give large place to run and enjoy life. Have had dog for 2 1/2 yrs. She has to have attention and does not do well with other animals at times. I would not recommend if you are too old and if you have children because she does not know her strength when being playful.
