Story
Rehoming as he needs more training that we can offer, has become more protective since our baby was born in December. He loves socks and shoes straight off your feet. He loves to go hike, walk and run (he gets them daily). Loves playing with our niece and loves our 6 month old. Lethal toots and sleeps paws up. Crate trained while we are away and sleeps in bed. Loves to be lazy if you let him and will let you know when it’s time to play.Does good around cats (he sometimes thinks he is a cat lol), not interested in them. Has never had an incident with either 2 cats we have. Does great with big dogs, does not like small does (does have a history with a specific small dog). We believe he has started having food aggression, anxiety and separation anxiety since our baby was born. He has also become weary of strangers on walks and specifically men (but loves the men he knew before the baby was born). He is fully intact now, but will pay for him to get fixed before joining the right home.

Story
Riley was born in our Spring 2025 litter and was recently returned back to us by the owner due to their ongoing, personal health issues and inability to provide proper care for her. Both of Riley’s parents live with me and have completed the AKC 328 genetic testing screening.Riley is fully AKC registered, up to date on vaccinations/vet exams, and is not spayed. Riley has a very loving personality, loves belly rubs, has good recall but needs some basic training (personal space, heal, stay). Riley is apprehensive of men until she gets to know them. Riley needs a home where someone has the patience to work their way into her heart, and give her unconditional love.Riley was surrendered along with her sister so she does great with other dogs, and gets along well with our cat. Riley needs a home with a lot of love and a family that can teach her how to be the best Labrador.Please reach out if you are interested in meeting this sweet girl.

Story
Dax is a sweet 2 year old Goldendoodle. We have had him since he was a puppy. He has been through intensive 3 week dog training outside of the cities when he was 18 months old. He does well with his training collar, but he is still learning to keep 4 on the floor. He loves to go on walks, snuggle up, play fetch, and eat treats! He goes to the vet every 6 months, is up to date on his shots, and gets his teeth cleaned annually at the vet. Whenever he’s been sick he has been taken care of at the vet. He’s been very loved and this is a difficult decision to make. Due to our schedule changing, he is kenneled a lot and he deserves a home where he can be enjoyed and walked, and given proper attention.
