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
Ziggy – 2½-Year-Old Male Rottweiler Looking for the Right Home We’re looking to rehome our 2½-year-old intact male Rottweiler, Ziggy (approximately 110 lbs.), to an experienced home that’s the right fit for him. Ziggy is a loving, affectionate, goofy dog who enjoys roughhousing, cuddling, playing with toys, and being with his people. He’s very food motivated, knows his property boundaries well, and loves having room to roam. We’re committed to being honest about why we’re rehoming him. Ziggy is a large, high-energy dog who becomes very excited during play and needs an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and structure. He has a history of biting adults during moments of excitement/play (not out of what we’ve perceived as intentional aggression), so this is something any potential adopter needs to be aware of. Because of this, best that there is no young children in home He has done well with other dogs but has not met any cats or other animals.

Story
Nami is a very smart, excitable, and loving dog. She is crate trained and has never been destructive to anything but her toys and tends to just lazy around when inside the house. She will fetch all day long and loves cuddles. The best I can describe her is that she can read the room if it’s chill time if it’s playtime if something is hers or not ect. She would be a good fit for a family with no children or other (large) dogs as she is reactive. She seems more okay with small dogs. She is protective of her humans when out and about or on walks (growling and barking). Also may be some leash aggression as we’ve noticed she does better when less restricted. She resource guards with treats like bones or kongs. She does not like if you reach into her crate while she is in it. Her triggers are pretty easily avoided most of the time and we think with lots of exposure she would be great with anyone (dog, cat, roommates, ect.) but she has a long trust building period.

Story
We have had Lincoln for about 7 years. He has been a very good boy and is extremely loving. We have had to get rid of his brothers and sisters bc of a move and we have recently had children come into our life so he isn’t surrounded by the same love that he’s used to. It’s because of this that we want to find him a new loving home. He is a very good dog we just do not have the time or energy to treat him the way we used to. We are looking for someone who will love him the same way we loved him before kids

Story
My daughter in law got Bear when he was a puppy. He is 10 years old and doesn’t care for the new puppy they have. I am taking care of him for now but can’t keep him. He is very well trained. He loves short walks and his toys. He is good with our 3 grandchildren ages 9 and 11 but doesn’t like rough housing. He is leash trained and very easy to walk. He doesn’t pull. He stands still when putting on and taking off his leash. My DIL also trains horses and you can tell Bear was trained well as a puppy. Bear has a hip that bothers and is a little slow to get up but once he does, he’s fine. He is such a sweet dog. He needs a loving home with no other pets.

Story
Nala is a very sweet, loyal, and loving dog. She has a lot of energy and would thrive with being walked once a day. She loves to snuggle with you in bed, and she loves children. Nala has been raised alongside a cat as well so she is good with cats. She will bark sometimes at other dogs if they bark at her, but she is very friendly.
