Story
Astro is a very loving dog. He is bursting with energy and needs a lot of exercise daily. He loves to swim and play fetch - toys are a must have! He is almost 18 months old. He is trained to sit, lay down, leave it, stay, roll over, and middle. He is fully potty trained and kennel trained. He prefers to spend time with people as much as possible but is content in his kennel for a few hours with a toy. He is very excitable and has a tendency to jump on people when he first sees them, something that would be easily trained out of but I simply do not have the time with my busy schedule. He would do well in a home with active owners or older kids. He likes cats, but will chase them from time to time, and he absolutely loves to play with other dogs. He will bark to alert, and occasionally he will whine if he needs something, but he has been well trained not to bark in his kennel. He is a good dog, and I wish I could keep him, but I don’t have enough time to give him the excercise he needs.

Story
Sasha is super playful. Has lots of bounce in her step and is a very happy fun girl. She has gotten along well with every dog she has been around and does not pay any attention to the cats, so she might be ok with them as well. She does run a little funny. Not sure if that was the vehicle collision or something else, but it doesn’t stop her from running around. She just looks a little goofy doing it. She loves affection. We have never heard her bark. Even when everyone else is barking she’s quiet and just waits for her turn. She has not used the bathroom in her kennel at all. She’s a very good dog.

Hank is a special boy looking for a home that has the time and patience to teach him he is safe and work with him on boundaries. Hank is a sweet boy with a lot of energy. He is terrified of metal chains and cannot be on one. He is a runner and will require a fenced in yard. He is dog friendly but would be best with dogs his size. If you are looking for a dog that NEEDS you, Hank is your boy. He has not been well cared for in the past and needs that someone in his life that he can trust.
