Story
We bought Dodger for our adult daughter, she loves dodger although doesn't have the time and love he needs to raise him. My daughter is busy and didn't realize the time and dedication it would take to keep a dog. We all want him to find a loving and caring forever home. We bought him about a year ago for $1150.00. We have the paper work. Dodger has one testicle.He is up to date with all shots. Dodger is healthy in good condition. We just want the family that will give him the love and care he needs. Truthfully We were not successful in training him. This was not an easy decision for us although we believe it is the best for him.

Story
Meet the Sweet Girl Who Is Ready for Her Forever Family Some dogs come into rescue and immediately steal a little piece of your heart. This beautiful girl is one of those dogs. She is sweet, loving, incredibly smart, and absolutely gorgeous. And those eyes… how could you possibly resist? She has one warm brown eye and one beautiful blue eye, giving her a unique look that you simply can't forget. We believe she is part Australian Shepherd and part Blue Heeler, and she seems to have gotten the very best of both breeds. She's intelligent, energetic, playful, and full of personality. She loves being involved in whatever her people are doing and is happiest when she has someone to love, something to explore, or a furry friend to play with. And speaking of furry friends—she LOVES other dogs! She currently lives with three resident dogs in her foster home and has become a regular part of their little pack. She loves running, wrestling, playing, and simply being around her canine friends. A home with another playful, friendly dog would be a wonderful fit for her. She is also wonderful with children. She loves our kids and has shown us what a sweet, affectionate family dog she can be. This girl has so much love and energy to give. She's the kind of dog who wants to be your companion—to go on adventures with you, play in the yard, curl up with you after a busy day, and simply be wherever her people are. Because she is smart and energetic, she's looking for a family who will keep her active both physically and mentally. Give her walks, playtime, adventures, training, and lots of love, and she'll give you something even more valuable in return: her whole heart. Behind those two beautiful eyes is a dog who is ready for a second chance and a family of her very own. She doesn't need to be the perfect dog. She just needs someone who will see how special she already is and promise her that this time, she's home. If you're looking for a loving, playful, beautiful, smart companion who will adore you with her whole heart, this sweet girl may be the one you've been waiting for.   Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Hello, my name is Frodo or Fitzgerald! I’m a 2.5 year old happy energetic pup that’s listed as a Great Dane Mix. I’m overall pretty friendly with all. I am kennel trained and a great eater, which means I’m also fun to teach new tricks to! I would be best suited to go to a new home that has a schedule and lifestyle that I can be a huge part of. Since I’m young and full of energy I would do best in a fenced in yard or have the ability to have new activities I can be a part of like hiking or day trips to explore new places. I need solid leadership as sometimes I need to be a little recentered or refocused when I get over stimulated. Because of this, I would be best in a place without young children as I’m still a little uncoordinated from time to time and little kid energy is a bit confusing for me. Kids who are a little older and are interested in helping train me are definitely an exception. Basically from the get go I’m going to just need consistency throughout everyone in the household to help me learn the rules so I can settle in successfully. My current foster mom does in-home boarding at our house so I spend my days meeting new dogs and some new people, so I am pretty well socialized and very much thrive with all the constant stimulation. I do best meeting others outside my kennel in an open space, I tend to be submissive and take appropriate correction from dogs older than me, very well as I’m constantly learning ways to play with all different sizes and breeds. I can't wait to find my forever family!  Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story
Sandwich is a one-year-old bundle of energy, fun, and cuddles! This active girl loves to go, go, go. She does well on walks and is always ready for her next adventure. She especially enjoys patrolling the yard and would happily spend as much time outside as possible. With all that energy, Sandwich would thrive in an active home where she can get plenty of exercise, playtime, and opportunities to explore. After a good romp outside, she’s more than happy to settle down and relax. Sandwich is house-trained and sleeps wonderfully in her kennel all night. She’s also a big fan of chew toys and stuffies—although her stuffies don’t tend to last very long! She’s a self-proclaimed expert shoe thief, so keeping footwear out of reach is probably a good idea. When the day winds down, Sandwich shows off her softer side. She loves pets, snuggles, and being close to her people. She firmly believes she’s a lap dog, and with her incredibly soft fur, she may have a point! Sandwich will need slow, patient introductions when meeting other dogs. She really wants to play, but she’s still learning how to read and respect their cues. She’ll do best with people who are willing to give her time to get comfortable and help her learn appropriate play manners. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion who will keep you laughing, keep you active, and happily snuggle up with you at the end of the day, Sandwich might just be your girl!               Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, dental, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
