Story
Marty is the sweetest things ever. He is right at 100 pounds and loves to be inside and sprawling out on the cool floor or curling up on his bed. He is not kennel trained - we have an add on room he stays in when we are not at home. He does well in a fenced yard, just ensure it is secure (no gaps or holes). He is 5 years old and has become lazy in his 'old' age :) But plenty of youth still left! He does very well with other dogs of all sizes and children of all ages. There have not been interactions with cats, but I have no reason to believe it would be a problem.

Story
Taz was born May 25th, 2021 and is about 2 years old. He was transferred between puppy barns for weeks before we purchased him around 16 weeks old. Taz was painstakingly trained (mostly by Kyle) and only ever has accidents in the house when he eats something bad. We have a 7 month old baby and Taz is great around her and her older cousins. Taz is playful and craves companionship. He never barks and is obedient, especially when you take time to train him so he respects you. Taz's biggest weakness is that he still hasn't grown out of (or been successfully trained out of) jumping when he gets excited. We are looking for a new home for Taz because my husband is in medical school and doesn't have as much time to devote him - and more especially because I am struggling emotionally and Taz doesn't fit in well to the picture given the journey we're on. Taz is such a good dog and we're looking for a loving family (kids would be a plus) to give him the love & attention he deserves.

Story
Duke is a 5 year old male that LOVES attention. He is such a gentle soul and would be the perfect addition to a home with someone that can give him attention and security. He is scared of storms, so it is recommended that he have a companion when there is a storm incoming/present. Duke can be left in the house unattended with no past concerns. He also does excellent in a fenced yard. Duke can be around children of all ages, dogs of all sizes, and he has had some exposure to cats with no issues. This boy is just the SWEETEST! He just needs a little extra love around storms. We have not sought alternative methods of coping (it thunder jacket, anxiety meds, etc)
