Story
Rocky is really a great boy! Unfortunately he does not get along with my cat and it’s gotten worse as time has gone on. Rocky is amazing with children and is so gentle with them. He likes his toys and will have a ton of energy and then crashes! He does okay on a leash, but needs someone who is strong because he does get distracted by other animals. I can provide vet records. He is up to date on his rabies and DAPP but is due for Lyme, bordetella and leptospirosis (but has no contact with other dogs). Feel free to ask any questions.

Story
Maggie is 7 years old, 8/31/2019 she is still full of vigor. She loves a good game of fetch however she will never give you what you threw . She loves her stuffies .Weims need a lot of attention and are best with someone home . We can not give her the time she needs . Maggie did well with female dogs but not Males . Maggie’s hunting instinct usually kicks in if she has been kenneled a very long time. Also she can be unpredictable and I don’t suggest any young children . She also tries to be the boss but you have to let her know who is the Alpha.

Story
We are looking for a loving, understanding home for Maverick, our 5½-year-old Goldendoodle/English Lab mix. Maverick is a sweet, loving boy who has been a special part of our family. However, he struggles with reactivity and resource guarding, and as our 7-month-old daughter has become more mobile, he has begun showing aggression toward her. For everyone’s safety and well-being, we feel he would be happiest in a home better suited to his needs. We are hoping to find him a home with no young children and ideally no other dogs, with someone who has the patience, understanding, and experience to help him thrive. Maverick deserves a home where his boundaries are respected and where he can feel safe, comfortable, and loved. This is not an easy decision, and we want to make sure he finds the right fit. Our priority is finding him a family who will give him the love, care, and understanding he deserves. ❤️
