Eddie is a good dog, but might be better in a home without small children. He is very excited when his family gets home or we have visitors, and often pushes our 1 year old to the ground. He is not malicious, but he doesn't recognize his own size.

Story
Meet Mesha 🐾 Mesha is a beautiful German Shepherd/Husky mix 2 years old as of Christmas Eve. She is sweet, affectionate, playful, and full of personality. She loves walks, playtime, chew toys, and being close to the people she trusts. As a young, high-energy working breed mix, Mesha does best with structure, consistency, and regular physical and mental exercise. She enjoys playing with kids and other dogs but can become overly excited, so supervision and clear boundaries are important. She is still learning impulse control and benefits from redirection, especially with her love of chewing. Mesha has a strong prey drive and is not suitable for a home with cats or small animals. She can be cautious with new people and vocal with unfamiliar dogs. Mesha would thrive in an experienced, active home committed to continued training. A home with dog-savvy adults and older children preferred.

Story
Meet Remi! He is a 5 yr old Pure GSD. We rescued him from an abusive home a year and a half ago, but it was only ever supposed to be a foster situation until we could find him a home. Now we have a baby on the way and he just really needs a place to be where he can run outside and have a good yard to play in. He is very smart and is wonderful with people and other dogs. Extremely good with kids, very patient and has never shown any aggression towards anyone. When we got him his legs were bare and bleeding because whilst he was left alone for weeks at a time, his anxiety caused him to chew on his legs. We have been doing our best to restore him to his former glory. He absolutely loves love and will constantly want pets and belly scratches. He is a very good boy, but our time with him has to come to an end unfortunately. I'm really hopeful one of you lovely people will want to help this sweet boy out! Thank you for reading!

Story
I adopted dixie 2 years ago from the humane society. She has been my best friend ever since. She is very loving, loves to play (but gets tired easily and loves to nap), protective, and the best companion. She is 7 years old, up to date with all of her shots, and is healthy. I am looking for a home with no other pets and for someone who doesn’t work long hours. I work 50 hours a week and newly brought a new dog into my home and dixie has not been welcoming to him. That is why I am looking to rehome her. She is perfect for a single person or couple, but would not do well in a home with other pets.
