Story
Noel is registered. Noel is a loving 9 yr. old indoor dog. She has been raised with other dogs, cats, and children. She's not real active and likes to lay around most of the time. She'll bark when someone comes into the driveway. She has never shown aggression or bitten anyone. She's very attentive. She is trained to sit, stay, come and go lay down. She's a "very easy keeper" as the vet would say. She will follow you from room to room or outdoors. She'll look at you anticipating a command. She was bred twice and threw 6 pups in each litter. She is very gentle, affectionate, eager to please her keeper. She is used to receiving a milk bone treat when she comes back inside after doing her business. She enjoys going for car rides, but there has been a couple of occasions when she got motion sickness. The perfect home for Noel would be someone who is looking for a companion, and not a playmate. She's a little overweight and not real active. She thoroughly enjoys being near her keeper.

Story
I have a Canine Genetic Testing Report for Boomer. He is registered with the American Stock Dog. Boomer is an affectionate 10 yr old indoor dog. He will be your shadow. He loves attention. Although he lays around most of the day indoors, he loves to run when outdoors. He is trained to sit, stay, come, fetch and go lay down. He was raised with other dogs, cats and children. He doesn't like loud noises and will sit beside you during thunderstorms. He loves to go for car rides. He was the stud for the puppies we raised. He'll bark when someone comes into the driveway but has never shown aggression or bitten anyone. He'll run up to strangers and sniff them. He has occasionally jumped up on them wanting affection but will react to a "no" command. Boomer enjoys the attention of being groomed. Boomer would be a great companion for someone who is active, or even not so active. Since my wife passed, Boomer has slept in the bed with me. He stays on his side and doesn't interfere with my sleep.

Story
Scout is 9 years old. We have had him for 8 years. We purchased him from an individual who could no longer keep him. We used him as a stud to breed. Since we had two studs, he was separated from our other dogs. He was kept inside the home until he "came of age". He has primarily been kept in a dog run with inside shelter. Scout doesn't know a stranger. He loves everyone. He has never shown any aggression to any person or animal. I am not aware of anything that rattles him. We live in the country. We take him out of the dog run daily for play and exercise. He loves to play fetch with a ball. He will fetch the ball an average of three or four times, then he voluntarily returns to the dog run. He'll drop the ball, then lay down and wants his stomach scratched. After a good scratch, he returns to the dog run where he waits for his milk bone treat. If a car happens to go by, he'll look at it, then go back to whatever he was doing. He has never chased a vehicle. Loves to go for car rides.

Story
Monte is energetic, affectionate, and ready for an owner who can help him thrive. He's a good dog that just needs a bit more time, training, and attention than I'm currently able to provide. With my full-time job and evening classes, I'm often not home until late, and he deserves someone who can match his energy and give him the engagement he craves. If you're looking for a fun, loyal companion and have the time to invest in him, he could be the perfect fit. 1.5 yrs old

Story
My daughter is a meth addict, recently evicted and living in her car, who dumped 6 cats and a young puppy (maybe 6 months) on me (her mother). She is not coming by my house to feed, water, or care for the animals and they are starving. I have pets of my own and do not have the means to take on her cats or Daisy, considering I'm already fostering her 8 year old son. I will turn 63 in October, work full time, and now find myself back in a "parent" position. As she has abandoned these animals at my home, I am choosing to relinquish them so that they can find a loving home. Daisy is very sweet but has had no training. She can be high energy because of her living conditions (always in a kennel or at the end of a chain).

Story
Will update later. Rocky is a good boy but reactive to other dogs and has gotten out twice and wrestled another dog with no serious injuries to either. Leasing company is making us rehome him or terminate our lease. He is very good with people and children. He should ideally go to a home with a yard as hes not great on a leash when another dog appears. I will include all of his toys food, make sure his shots are up to date and whatever other help I can give to right person or peolle to take care of him. We all love him so much and will be heartbroken but we have run out of options. He loves to cuddle especially under the blankets at your feet or sleep under the bed. He is very toy and ball motivated and will love you forever if you spend a few minutes a day playing with him. Any other questions please let me know.***UPDATE***Rocky is going to a two week board and train in our attempt to keep him.
