Story
Bailey has been with us for 8years and he has been one of the best dogs in the world!! He is big and seems scary but he really is just a gentle giant!! He is really good with kids and other pets and is rarely ever a problem!! He needs a loving home because unfortunately his breed is restricted where we have relocated and I just want someone to take him in and take care of him!!

Story
Meet Rocky, a loving 6-year-old neutered German Shepherd looking for his forever home. He grew up with children, does well with people and visitors, and has never shown aggression toward people. He is house and crate trained, rides well in the car, knows several commands, and loves walks, hikes, treats and affection. Rocky is dog reactive after a daycare incident and would do best as the only dog. No cats or small animals due to his prey drive. He may pull at first on walks, then settles, but will pull for squirrels or lizards. He can wander, so he must be leashed or securely contained. A fenced yard is a plus. Rocky is food motivated and has a sensitive stomach; he currently does well on Purina Pro Plan. An experienced GSD owner who is home often and can provide exercise, companionship and continued training would be ideal. Due to my progressive illness and physical limitations, I am searching for a loving forever home where Rocky can thrive and be part of the family.

Story
Meet Mike! If you’re looking for a dog with energy for days and a big personality meet Mike! Mike is a German Wirehaired Pointer and Border Collie mix, just over a year old, and this boy is ready to GO! He’s smart, athletic, curious, and needs a home where he can burn off his energy while putting that busy brain to work. Despite all that energy, Mike is a super friendly guy and a total sweet heart. He loves people, enjoys other dogs, and is crate trained. His biggest challenge? He gets so excited to see people that he tends to forget his manners and likes to greet them with all four feet off the ground! Mike does have some herding instincts, which means he may try to help manage the household. Unfortunately, his idea of “helping” can include nipping at young children and trying to move them where he thinks they belong. Because of this, he would do best in a home without young children. Mike is looking for someone who wants a dog they can exercise, train, challenge, and have fun with. Give him an outlet for all that energy and that brilliant brain, and you’ll have one incredibly fun companion. Think you can keep up with Mike? He’s ready to meet you!
