Story
Raven is a 5 year old Border Collie mix. She is a wonderful, playful, high energy dog that loves to be with her person and is available for cuddling basically anytime. We originally adopted her from a different owner when she was about 2 years old and she has been with us since. Part of Raven's desire for cuddles and to be around her owner is due to issues with separation anxiety. She has been to a training course where she has learned things like sit, stay, and to stay at your side when walking, but the separation anxiety has been persistent, though much more manageable. She is an incredibly smart dog and easily learns new tricks. Her ideal home would be a medium sized house with an owner that has a lot of time to spend with her on walks and with playtime. We believe she would also be good with a home that includes kids with ages at least 10+ as she can get easily overstimulated. She is good with cats and is typically good around other dogs, though she is very shy.

Meet Sage! This sweet boy has the biggest heart to match his big paws 🐾 Sage loves to play and gets along well with kids, cats and dogs.

Story
Larry is a giant lap dog. Once he bonds, it’s for life! He is so affectionate and goofy in the sweetest way. He just wants to cuddle on the couch after a long walk, hopefully filled with lots of interesting scents. Larry has a lot of energy and drive. He absolutely loves using his nose to get around and find treats. He would make a great nose work/tracking dog. Larry loves to stay near you so if you’re looking for devotion and companionship he’s the dog for you! Larry has a great “heel” command and enjoys a couple of long walks a day. Any treat finding games or nose work would be really fulfilling for his breed. He loves cuddling on the couch more than anything! While Larry himself is active, he would prefer a calmer household. He wasn’t given a fair shot in his previous household and would need stability, structure and a whole lot of love. A home with young children is probably too overwhelming for this growing guy. Larry would thrive in a house with a yard.
