Meet Max! Max is a Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog mix, around 2½ years old, and he’s the total package. While he’s playful and fun, he’s not overly hyper—just the perfect balance of energy and chill. One of his favorite things? Giving sweet morning hugs to start the day off right Max is incredibly friendly and affectionate, with both people and dogs. He gets along extremely well with other dogs and quickly becomes best friends with everyone he meets. He’s a smart boy who responds well to commands, is eager to learn, and truly enjoys pleasing his people. Max is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines and preventatives. He is a truly fantastic dog who is ready to find the loving forever home he deserves. Could Max be your new best friend?

Hello my name is Tyler and I have no other choice than try to find a new home for my Dog Star she’s a 3 year old Doberman she and my other dog Dior (a frenchie) have been living together since a pup and have been getting in fights this has been a problem for over a year now I have tried everything in my power to try to get them to get along the fights start over nothing it’s not like it’s a food aggression it will start out of no where. The last few fights I have not been home and my girlfriend had to break them apart and she almost can’t get star off of Dior more recently it’s been worse and the result of that has gotten my girlfriend bitten Start likes to play rough but she also is a sweetheart she would thrive in a only dog home she doesn’t get along with other dogs she is good around kids I’ve never had a problem with that she kinda likes to avoid them when she can she loves frisbee and cuddling

Story
Marcus was born April 29, 2024. Both of his siblings came out with bright blue eyes like his. He is Australian Shepherd, Pit Bull Terrier, and Labrador Retriever. He weighs 50lbs, and is about knee height. A bit of a shorty, but lean, dense and very athletic with a touch of clumsiness (but he doesn’t like to be laughed at). We adopted him from a foster on July 19, 2024. He came potty trained at 3 months old… He’s spunky, energetic, and loves attention. Very protective of his person. He has attitude and can be ornery, but he is wicked smart and learns quickly. Someone who is consistent, experienced, and maintains good boundaries; offers love as reward would be perfect. He gets along very well woth other dogs, and we always thought that he’d do really well with a furry friend at home. He’s never been exposed to cats, but we bet he’d adapt. He has a sensitive tummy and can be gassy. He has never had much human food. Lovable dog; the epitome of tough onthe outside, soft on the inside.

Story
I adopted Johanna from the KC Pet Project back in April. She is five years old, but otherwise I don't know much about her history. She was found as a stray. She is VERY smart, excited, and eager to please her owner. She needs problems to solve and lots of exercise. She loves cuddling and being in your space. She is not good with other dogs, so she needs to be in a home where it's just her. I do not know how she does with kids, but she really loves people and wants to play - walks, tug of war, tearing up a stuffed animal. She is house trained and picks up on commands quickly. She has a lot of energy. I would otherwise keep her, but have found I don't have the space or time in my day to day life to give her what she needs.

Story
Daisy is an adult/senior bull terrier whose owner (my father-in-law) recently passed away. We absolutely love her and do not want to re-home her, but unfortunately we cannot keep her in our home, because of our cats and child. She is sweet and loves belly rubs, knows all basic commands, gets along great with other dogs, and is current on all shots/heart-worm prevention/etc. She cannot live with cats (she has a very strong prey drive) or small children (she is not aggressive to children, but she is extremely protective of them and will attack other dogs/adults if she believes they are in danger). She has some anxieties and quirks that will need someone who either knows and loves bull terriers, or is just loving and patient with older high-maintenance dogs :)
