Story
Ama is the sweetest dog i have known. She loves to run around in the yard and would really like to go to a family that has energy and like to play with her. She is fully house and crate trained. Just a loving and gentle soul that needs a caring family to take her in. Great with kids and other animals. Current on all shots. Rehoming due to military transfer and unable to take her to new location. Would love someone to foster her for a year and get her back but as long as she goes to a good loving home , that is all that matters.

Story
Delphine is a pure-bred Australian Shepherd that we adopted as a puppy. Delphine is 5 years old and is a very loving and affectionate dog. She has a lot of energy as an Australian Shepherd and loves to run and play with her sister Ophelia. She tends to just grab a toy and keep it with her at all times, and when she does run out of energy immediately flops to become a couch potato. Delphine loves people and would let you scratch and rub her belly until your hand falls off. She is highly trainable and has been kennel trained and trained on basic commands. She knows how to sit and respond to the no command. Her new home would need to have a yard for her to run and play in, and owners that have the time to pay attention to her. Delphine is great with adults and children and is very gentle with our senior dog and pet cat.

Story
Chestnut came to us from a local shelter after being put on the list to be euthanized, and well we just could not let that happen. She is such a beautiful girl that has the personality to go with all those good looks. But she is not for the weak. She is very athletic and likes to run and boy is she fast! She is particular about the dogs she likes and dislikes so with that in mind if you are looking for a great first dog and want someone who you can bring along with you on trips and adventures she would be an excellent fit for you!

Story
We rescued Dane as a stray when he was around 5 years old. Over the past 5 years, he has grown to love couch potato life. He is a senior dog who is a gentle giant. He is house trained and accustomed to being indoors like he's part of the family. He's so good with other animals that our cat almost have birth on him. He doesn't eat shoes or tear up furniture, but if you drop food on the floor he will run like you've never seen a fat dog run to eat what you've dropped. He is great on a leash and loves kids. It breaks my heart to have to rehome him. Our landlord has implemented new rules forcing me into this decision. He doesn't bark much, so when he does it can be a bit loud and startling, but it's usually for a good reason (like a break-in at 2am). No real health conserns other than itchy skin in the summer that clears up with Oatmeal shampoo.

Story
I found this dog through a friend. He’s a 1 year old male German shepherd. My plan was to home him and find somewhere good for him to go. Before me he was outside in a kennel all day and really scared of humans. He’s better with fear now and doing well. My cat & him don’t get along as I hoped so finding him a new home has become more severe. I really just want the best for him.

This is Max! He is 4 years old and a mix of lab/german shepherd. He is very energetic, but loves to cuddle when you’re ready to lay down. He loves all the attention! We wish to keep him, but are unable to keep dogs where we are moving to. Please help us find this sweet baby a home!
