Charlie is very energetic dog who loves people. He sometimes forgets how big he is and can be a little clumsy. He has had basic training and excels at sitting, staying, shake, and spins. Walks well with a no pull harness however fetch is not his choice of playtime. He’s done well with children around toddler age and above, we just think he needs more attention

Story
Hermes is a handsome, happy-go-lucky pup with a heart as big as his smile (born 4/12/23). When he was just a curious little puppy, he had an adventurous leap out of a car window. While he didn’t break any bones, the accident caused nerve damage, and on his vet’s advice, his front right leg was amputated. Don’t let that fool you—Hermes still gets around beautifully! He plays daily with his sister, zooms around the yard, and greets life with tail wags and kisses. Because he puts extra weight on his remaining front leg, Hermes can’t go on long hikes or extended walks—he tires quickly and could risk paw injury. But give him a fenced yard to romp in, a comfy spot to lounge, and a buddy to play with, and he’s in heaven. ✨ Hermes’ Best Qualities: Housebroken & crate trained Dog-friendly, stranger-friendly, and adores kids of all ages Knows some commands and loves to fetch Affectionate “kisser” who thinks laps are the best seats in the house Active and playful

Story
Samson, aka Sam, is a very sweet and timid boy. He is 4 1/2 years old. I purchased him from the shelter almost two years ago. He came from an abusive home. He was not potty trained, and skittish. He is now still timid, but loving. He is now potty trained. He is good with cats, kids and females. He has trust issues with males, there are no males in our household. I don't believe men treated him well prior, but to the special someone, he would make an awesome hunting partner or friend. He loves to run, he must have a fenced in yard or preferably a farm, to run in. Along with genuine love, and compassion for his history, my only requirement is that he has a place to enjoy nature. His favorite pastimes are chasing squirrels, birds, and playing fetch. His favorite toy is his rubber balls. He will come with all supplies needed. He is on an anti-histamine for allergies around his eyes. Those are included, also. ($8/mo). Sam is a sweet and protective boy, who deserves the best of homes.

Story
We got our dog from the NE Humane Society when he was a puppy. He has no behavior issues other than being a little anxious around certain smells (mainly the oven being on). Other than that he is good dog. No health issues either. We are looking to rehome him because we have three young kids and another on the way. We dont have enough time to give him the care and play he deserves. He loves walks and playing fetch and has really good manners (will drop the ball when asked).
