Story
Max is an energetic dog. Loves going for walks and chasing rabbits in our fenced in yard. He's great with my two daughters and my much older (14 years old) dog. His owner passed away and I unfortunately don't have the time to give him the love he needs and deserves. He thinks he's a lap dog and loves being cuddled.

Story
Desiel is a fantastic companion and protector. He is a purebred German Shepard with documentation. He will turn 3 in August. Desiel needs attention or a job to do! If you have farm land, he is perfect for you! Unfortunately my work requires me to travel periodically which leaves me not having the time to give to Desiel he deserves. We are looking for someone to care for Desiel and give him a loving home. Desiel does take supplemental enzymes to assist with digestion. Although there is a chance he can ease off this, there is also a chance he may need these enzymes for the rest of his life. Please only serious inquiries only. I have trained Desiel since 13 weeks. He understands a lot of commands and will be your best friend.

Story
Summer is good with kids and other dogs. She loves the water and the snow. She has lots of energy that requires daily exercise. We currently have a new baby and busy schedules where we can't give her the attention she deserves. We are only looking for a home with other dogs and with lots of space to run around. We want her to be with a family who has the time to be with her and to love her. She is currently an indoor dog and she goes outside for bathroom breaks and exercise .

Story
Catriona is just over one year old, her birthday is March 7th, 2022. She is a wonderful, intelligent, loving dog with lots of energy. With a heavy heart, we’ve made the decision to try to find her an experienced caregiver to meet her needs. Her primary caretaker has experienced a disabling fall and is no longer able to keep up with her. We have one senior dog in the household who she gets along with well; their energies just do not match and i often find myself having to separate the two, so our senior can get some rest. In our household, we have run into a few behavioral problems (chasing cats, resource guarding, fear of strangers, etc.) She has never gotten into fights with other dogs and we have never had a biting issue. But, with the ongoing medical issues, we constantly have people in and out, as well as myself working full time and not being able to assist with her care as much as is needed. She will need an experienced owner, with no young children or cats.

Story
Dozer is a great dog…for the most part. He has a litter-mate. If they go outside together they RUN! If they go out alone, there is no problem and they both return immediately on their own. We have young children who aren’t good at keeping doors closed. This has led to Dozer and the other dog running off for days at a time. I have tried multiple electric fences and they worked, except for when the two were together. Dozer will be great for any person or family. Dozer has a good spirit and he loves everyone—except our cats. While, he’s never hurt one, he does chase them until they give him the slip. As long as he doesn’t have his litter mate—he’s an ideal mixed lab.
