Story
2 years ago I picked up Jax from someone who was giving him away for free. He was super chill, didn’t bark and got along great with my other 4 GSDs. 9 months later he will not leave the other male GSD alone. I have had them separated for a year now. I have spent thousands of dollars on training and I am at a loss. I believe he is best suited with someone who doesn’t have other male dogs and who has the time that I, unfortunately, do not have. I have posted in local groups, I have contacted rescue groups and I have contacted trainers looking for a home better suited for Jax. I have had no luck. I am unwilling to take him to a shelter because he will not do well in that type of environment. 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
Charles is our sweet 3-year-old pup, adopted from the shelter three years ago. He’s super cuddly, loyal, and loves nothing more than curling up next to his person. He’d be happiest in a home where he has space to run or someone who enjoys taking him on walks. He’s crate trained, housebroken, and pretty chill overall — just looking for a calm, cozy home to call his own. He tends to warm up to women a little faster than men, but once he trusts you, he’s your buddy for life. The one thing: Charles needs a home without kids. He’s just not comfortable around little ones, and we want to make sure he feels safe and secure in his next chapter. This is the ONLY reason we are rehoming. We love him so much. If you or someone you know might be a good fit for Charles, send me a message — we’re heartbroken to say goodbye but hopeful we can find the perfect place for him to thrive.
