Story
Cash is usually an incredibly sweet dog who likes to snuggle and play, but he will sometimes growl at you. He’s never bitten anyone, but he would benefit from behavior training. The vet said to mention he’s cage aggressive. I was recently taken to the hospital by ambulance. Cash laid with me while I waited. He didn’t growl at the firefighters or paramedics when they arrived. I’d love to see him go to a home where he can get the training he needs, because he’s a loving dog. He just doesn’t work for our family.

Story
Hi Everyone, This is Daisy, she is half Shiba and half Jindo she is 6 years old. She is potty trained, and leash trained but not kennel trained she is the sweetest dog who just wants loves. She does get nervous at times, I feel that she would be a wonderful companionship for someone that is alone or an older couple. She only barks when someone comes to the door, and loves to chase after birds and squirrels. She seems to shy away from kids. My daughter has recently moved and could not take her with her, we have had her the last month but our travel schedules for work is too much to care for a pet. We would love to find someone who’s going to give her a good home and love her.

Story
Rocky, 2 year old German Shepherd mix(poss.Malinois). Shelter pup who was abandoned by his previous owner, tied up and left outside, so I took a chance on him and love him without any previous background history. House/crate trained, knows sit, down, wait, stay and loves fetch with any ball. Super smart and willing to learn, very food motivated as well. But unfortunately he does have resource guarding. I have 3 children, 10,9, and 2. He does well with older kids but not at all with my 2 year old. He guards myself and older children from dad and toddler. He has separation anxiety. He has had board/train and I have tried multiple training methods to get him in a calm/happy and not so much on guard mode. Poss. previous ptsd and I’m just not sure how much more I can keep up my high alert when he is around my toddler. Amazing dog and best walking buddy, but unfortunately just best with a single woman or woman with older kids or someone who is willing to put in a lot of extra work daily.
