Story
Inuyasha is a male labrador retriever mix. He is very loving and loves when you pet him and loves attention, he is also great with kids. He is five years old and house broken. The reason we need to re house him is because we recently found out that my young son is allergic to him and because of the allergy my son's asthma has gotten worse. My son has asthma and has to be on two types of inhalers and just recently has had a persistent cough. I cannot in good conscience keep exposing him to pet dander even though Inuyasha is the greatest dog. Inuyasha also gets along great with other dogs, he goes to a doggy day care intermittently and gets great reports. We want Inuyasha to go to a loving home with a backyard.

Story
Meet Biscuit, a Shepard mix who is looking for their new forever home! Biscuit is 4 years old and great with dogs, cats, and kids. We had gotten Biscuit as a surrender from a family member and unfortunately can’t keep her due to our smaller living space and surplus of our own animals, she has been unfairly neglected in her last home and just very much needs a loving and attentive family to take her in. She is very friendly and loves pets and cuddling, and she is a little curvy thanks to her love of dog biscuits! She knows how to sit, shake, lay down, and she is house and crate trained. Biscuit is looking for a family that would play with her and take her on walks around the neighborhood or wherever, she will just be happy to be there!

Story
We have had Jozie for about 3 years, and she is 4 years old. She is a mix of a number of different breeds, we know that she has German shepherd, Great Pyrenees, boxer, and husky. She has been an outdoor farm dog for that whole time. She is a great outdoor dog and listens well. She is smart and picks up on things easily. She is very personable and endearing. We have really loved having her as a farm dog. However, she is aggressive towards other dogs. She has attacked a neighbors dog (no injuries because people were there to break it up). For this reason we are looking to rehome her. She needs a place that is more rural than we are and is perhaps fenced in so that she wouldn’t come into contact with other dogs. She has never shown any aggression towards people.

Story
Dakota, also known as Kota, is a large and striking King Shepherd subtype German Shepherd. He is a wonderful dog who became a happy part of our household after spending his first two years in a fenced yard, though he can still be somewhat dependent and needy. He would make a wonderful family pet, but he needs owners that are active and keep him involved in their activities.Kota is:• Socially excellent with others• House-trained (with some recent regression)• A fan of chew toys and going for walks• Large, striking, and loyal• Looking for an active, engaged familyKota is a sweet boy who expresses himself loudly when he fears thunder. While isolation left some lingering issues, he is a "velvet" companion who truly wants to be part of the family action.💰 Rehoming fee: $100

Story
Cottontail, also known as Cotton, is a young Pomsky. He is a wonderful dog—affectionate, kind, and gentle. We are looking for a new home for him due to some behavioral issues we've been working on.Cotton is:• Treat trained and behaves well with other animals• Fond of walks and gets very excited for his harness• A fan of car rides and loves leaning his head out the window• Affectionate and kind with his peopleCotton has shown some food aggression in the past. While we have largely trained him out of it, he can still feel anxious if other dogs approach him during meals. Because he can be protective, we would prefer a home with older children. He is reportedly purebred with no papers💰 Rehoming fee: $100
