Story
Anniyha,,“Niyha” for short was born September 8, 2022. She is a very sweet girl! She does get super excited with any initial interaction, she needs calm assertive reminders to stay down and not jump up, she tries very hard to obey and Loves to please. She is crate trained-(when left alone and during the night), she is on a set schedule bedtime by 8pm and morning wake up outside 7am. We do have a loose schedule during the day that is mostly followed- including meals, walks(on-leash) and playtime(sometimes playing fetch, still learning to “bring it back”, “drop it”). She also knows commands like “sit”, “wait”, “not yours”, “get ‘em” or “get it”, “paw”/“other paw”, “lay-down”. She loves bones, toys and treats(sliced cheese is her favorite(but not too much). She is continuing to learn and does require lots of patience and positive attention🩷

Story
Charlie is a 4.5-year-old Australian Shepherd whoi s full of life, love, and personality. He weighs about 46 pounds and is always up for a game of fetch (with anything he can find!) or some backyard fun. He is crate trained, food-motivated, and happiest when he has a job or toy in his mouth. Charlie thrives on structure and consistency; he does best in a calm home where he can bond closely with his person and feel secure. Charlie can be protective of his favorite human, so he needs someone experienced with dogs who understand boundaries and can continue reinforcing positive behaviors. With the right leadership and consistency, he shines and is incredibly loyal, smart, and eager to please. He’s been deeply loved and well cared for, but after lots of training and time, his family knows he would flourish most in a quieter home with an experienced owner who understands herding breeds and can give him space to settle in.

River

Olde English Bulldogge

Female, Puppy
Potterville, MI
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Meet River🐾 She is a 1 year old Olde English Bulldogge with a goofy grin and a big heart! She’s potty and crate trained (and comes with her crate, bought last month). River loves tug of war, toys and being part of the fun. She gets anxious with loud noises like vacuums or RC cars, so she’d do best in a calmer home with older kids. She adores other dogs but plays rough & our dog doesn’t enjoy her bulldog wrestling style. So she’d do best as the only pet or with a tolerant, equally playful buddy. NO CATS. She still needs her shots and to be spayed and has two small cyst like bumps on her head she came with. River will thrive with a fenced yard, structure and someone who appreciates her silly, loving spirit.
