Story
Robin is an approx. 2 years old Heeler mix and weighs 47 lbs. She is cautious of those she doesn't know, but is an absolute Love once she knows you and decides your hers, which is a Heeler trait. You don't own a Heeler, they own You :) They are loyal to their person and love having jobs and activities to keep their very intelligent minds busy. Robin would probably do best with older kids. She is housetrained and is great with other dogs. She doesn't care for "in your face" dogs, but is tolerant of them. Cats are unknown. Robin will come with a rabies vaccination, spay certificate and a microchip.

Size

Details
Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Luna is a six year old Labrakita. We got her as a pup and raised her indoors with our cat until we moved around four years ago. She was crate trained and babied, a sweet sassy pup without many boundaries who we had to put outside as she couldn't seem to understand she needed to give space to our newborn. She's been living outdoors on a chain since then to keep her out of the road. She loves attention, scratches, and a good snack. Kills any small animals that come near her. Doesn't understand that she needs to be gentle with our now nearly four year old and other small children. We are unsure if she would be okay in a home with children or other animals as she has been outside for so long. Very smart dog territorial, and loyal. She desperately deserves better than we have been able to give her!

Story
Beatrice aka 'B' is a great dog. Very smart and lives to please. She is very dominant over anything smaller than her however, so she needs a home that doesn't have cats, chickens, rabbits (like we do). She's been here for 2 years and gets along with our Great Dane wonderfully. She's full of energy, but not annoyingly so. She likes to play fetch though she doesn't always bring it back to you lol. She loves sticks a LOT. She's never had an accident in the house. We adopted her from the local humane society where she had been most of her life. She was estimated to be 1 yr when we got her so we assume her to now be about 3. She is on regular flea and tick chewable, and is very healthy. She is chipped, but is a few months over due for her annual rabies shot. She will make someone or a family a fantastic pet, but we are a growing farm and we can't have her hurting and chasing our smaller livestock. There will be no adoption fee for a good home.
