Story
Nala and Scar are the most loving, high energy pups! They love to wrestle with each other. Play with tennis balls and stuffed animals. They are two peas in a pod. They do not separate. Nala (all brown) is female. Scar (half face) is male. Nala is fixed, scar is not. They will jump fence so they will need on a leash when going outside or supervised. I have 4 kids and they are great with them! We unfortunately can’t keep them. No shelter will take them. Please give them a chance to love you! Won’t let me edit my phone number. But please email me!

We have had browser since he was 7 weeks old. We adopted him from a breeder. He turned 3 on November 17th. He is so sweet and kind to all of us in the home. He’s never been around other animals to know if he is good with them or not. He also hasn’t been around strangers so that’s something that will need worked on. He is kennel trained and can sit/lay down and shake.

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Our German shepherd Titus is in need of finding a good, and loving home. He is five years old and a great Don. He has lots of good potential, but unfortunately, he’s scared of strangers and lash out as a protective measure on our behalf. Since we need to move due to my husband’s ill health we would like to rehome Titus to someone that would be a good strong reader for him. Sadly, we will have to euthanize him. We cannot find good placement for him otherwise. I have already reached out to multiple sources to rehome him, but nothing has worked out yet. He grew up with our son who is now nine years old and does great with him….but probably wouldn’t do so well with kids that he does not know…..he would need good discipline and training, but definitely is a great dog.

Willy

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Puppy
Odessa, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We answered an ad from our local paper from an older gentleman who said he had raised blue heelers for years (Wily is red). We got Willy home and noticed soon after that he was deaf. This made it difficult for us to train him as a cattle dog so our son’s family took him and we got another blue heeler. However, now that the kids are in school and in several activities, Willy is not getting the attention he needs and although they give him toys to play with in their absence, he finds other valuable things he’d rather chew up. That family doesn’t have the time or patience to train a deaf 6 month old puppy. Willy has a sweet disposition but he does like to be in charge if given the choice. He would do well with a family or individual that could give him more attention, teach him hand signals, make sure he’s not near the car when pulling out. This is typical puppy behavior with the added challenge of hearing impairment but Willy has a sweet personality to compensate for any deficiency.
