Story
Rosco is a 9-year-old German Shepherd looking for a loving home where he can enjoy his senior years as the one and only pet. Rosco has been a loved member of our family, and this is not an easy decision. My circumstances and ability to care for multiple large dogs have changed, and I want to find Rosco a home where he can receive the time, attention and care he deserves. Rosco needs to be the only animal in the home. He does not get along with other dogs or other animals, so this requirement is very important and isn’t negotiable. An experienced German Shepherd owner or someone comfortable with large dogs would be an especially good fit. At 9 years old, Rosco is a senior gentleman, and my priority isn’t finding him a home quickly, it’s finding him the right permanent home. I want someone who understands that adopting an older dog is a commitment and who will love him for the rest of his life. I would love to find Rosco a quieter home where he can settle in, be someone’s only dog,

Story
She was abandoned by her previous owner, we've kept her as long as we could. She is super sweet and loving, but can be a cranky old lady. Lol. She is a senior dog and has trouble with mobility, and steps. But she gets around. She's a literal couch potato, loves butt scratches.

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 rescued Lady from a local shelter. She is approximately 4-5 years old. She is a beauty and loves to play fetch, go on walks and car rides. She currently lives with 2 other dogs and a cat. She does well with other dogs to an extent but has recently started getting aggressive towards our other female dog. She is fine with our male and not fine with the cat. She is loyal and wants to work! She is a velcro dog and will follow you where ever you go. She is sweet and very affectionate. We feel she would do best in a home where is is the only pet and has room to roam and play outside.

Story
Milo is a male. His birthday is October 23, 2017. Mom was a Shiba, dad was a Jack Russell. Weighs about 25-30 lbs. Neutered & Microchipped. Crate trained and house trained. Can sit, shake, play down, roll over, and spin. He can take a while to warm up to new people but never bitten. Did great with kids at first but over the years seems to be increasingly less patient with kids' unpredictable actions. Has been vaccinated and treated for flea/heartworm in past but not up to date for either. Can do so before rehoming. Milo has have anxiety and doesn't like unusual sounds or big surprises. He is a shadow. He will just follow you around the house and wants to be in your company. Milo would be best for a home where someone gives him lots of attention and just wants to be next to someone. Needing to rehome due to my daughter's allergies and to give her a better quality of life.

Story
Great and extremely loving dog. Well behaved in the home. Gets very excited when meeting new people. He was acquired by an old friend of mine. He has been my world for 2 years. If you have a fence? He loves bunny hopping and running along it. Looking for an extremely loving home for him. It has only been us, I want him so loved that he can peacefully forget me. OR if you allow visits, I’d be fine with that too.
