Story
Cleitus is a 6 year old Great Pyrenees/Australian Shepherd mix. My husband and I got him when he was 8 weeks old. He is such a lover and loves to snuggle, cuddle, and play with his humans. Cleitus does not do well with other dogs at all. He is house broken and knows the “sit” and “stay” commands. We had a baby girl 13 months ago. Prior to that, Cleitus was our baby. He has developed quite the jealousy towards the baby. He does not understand his size and is not gentle with her and does not understand staying out of her space. He has always done very well with my husband and I and older children. He is protective of our home and us, as is in the nature of the breed. But he is a lot of bark and no bite, unless you are another four-legged friend. Our family simply does not have the funds or time to spend on him anymore since our baby girl came into the world. We want to see our baby go to a good home with no other dogs, just adults or older children. We think he might do great on a farm.

Story
Barney was adopted from a CAREStl two years ago. He is a great dog and loves everyone he meets. He does have some behavioral issues and will benefit from someone with experience working with large dogs with kennel anxiety. He takes daily meds for anxiety. He is fearful of nail trims and will lash out at things he doesn't understand or fears. He loves to snuggle. He is a big boy and doesn't realize his size, so probably not ideal for anyone with small children or an elderly household. We love Barney and have done all we can to give him a wonderful life. He would thrive with an individual who has the time to help him work through his anxiety issues.

Her owner went to a nursing home and she found herself at an animal control.  Willow is a happy go lucky girl that goes with the flow (not a fan of the cold though).  She has very limited number of teeth and her vision is not as good as it use to be.   She doesn't seem to mind other dogs and has a best friend, Chauncy.  Chauncy is a super senior Shih tzu that she came in with.  Please help us find them a home while they enjoy what time they have left.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
