Athena

Great Dane Husky

Female, Adult

Minden, NV

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Athena is a wonderful dog and usually gets along with other dogs, however she is an alpha and will sometimes compete for dominance. She LOVES children and people, however she cannot be near chickens or cows because she will eat them. She is very athletic and enjoys snuggling. Please note that there is no option on this website regarding the reason for rehoming that fits our circumstance - which is that she eats our livestock. She actually gets along GREAT with our other pets (dogs and cat). Her problem is that she chases our cows and calves, which causes them tremendous distress and has resulted in a few calfs dying. Unfortunately, Great Danes were bred to be hunters and we cannot keep her to the detriment of our herd.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Gorgeous blue eyes and a great personality. Punkin is a love bug, but she is very good at hopping fences. She adores kids and people and is always happy to snuggle. She gets along with other dogs and cats, but is known to chase chickens. There is no option on this website that accurately describes the reason for rehoming her, which is that she is an escape artist and we are worried she will be hit by a car. Unfortunately our HOA will not allow us to build a fence and we did not have success trying to use an electric fence collar. Photos do not do justice to how cute she is.

Porter

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, Senior

Gardnerville, NV

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Porter came to us as a stray, and it was clear from the start that life hadn’t always been kind to him. This little guy arrived shy, timid, and unsure of the world around him, carrying the quiet weight of a rough past. But over the month he’s spent with us, we’ve watched him begin to unfold in the most beautiful ways. Every morning, without fail, Porter greets breakfast with the sweetest burst of joy — the pitter patter of his tiny feet is enough to melt anyone’s heart. Though he’s still head-shy, he truly enjoys the gentle routine of his daily strolls with our volunteers, trotting along with a calm determination that suits his old-soul spirit. Porter is both blind and deaf, but he navigates his world with grace and surprising confidence. He gets along well with other calm dogs, big or small, and would likely adjust just fine to a more energetic companion as long as they respect his space. What he needs most is a peaceful, patient home where he can feel safe and loved. He may not be a typical lap dog, but he is a gentle presence who deserves comfort, kindness, and a soft place to rest in this stage of his life. Porter has weathered so much — now he just needs someone to show him that the world can be gentle, too. If you have a calm home and a heart ready to love an old soul, Porter is waiting.
