Story
Hello! My name is Logan Storm. Small creatures make me nervous (aka cats and small dogs). I am a very curious dog, I like to play with insects. My clothes are known as my clothes and I like to have it back on after showersI like to have it back on or else I feel naked. I love going on walkies, and I definitely love treats. If I am good during showers or walks I always get a treat. My family loves me very much and doesn't want me to go. But every time they leave I have separation anxiety and I really need another friend (another dog to be friends with during the day. Or someone who is able to always be by my side. I am potty trained and I love my doggy door. Please help me get a new family, that can spend time with me. I am amazing with kids, and truly just wants all the love. I know how to swim, I even jumped in a pool to save my human who I thought was drowning. I'll go by Logan,but if you say Logan Storm then I know I did something wrong. I am truly a big baby that needs lots of love

Story
We adopted Koa from a local shelter when he was 1.5 years old and have had him for 6 months. He is a sweetheart but since we rescued a 4 month old Husky/Doberman, he’s become aggressive. We first noticed aggression during feeding, so we separated them each meal and all was well. He then attacked her through her kennel because she had one of their toys, while doing so he bit my spouse. We kept them separate for two weeks (they literally had no contact with each other at all) and eventually we started acclimating them to each other again. They will play together, lay together, drink water together, but out of the blue he attacked her again. No toys involved, no food involved, just had a spurt of aggression and laid her out. We cannot intervene with fear of being bit. Koa is full energy, a love bug, learns quick, and is very treat motivated. He is house trained, kennel trained, and we were able to stop his destructive chewing. He needs to be the only pet in his home.

Story
This is Apollo, he was being fostered while he was trained and vetted. He’s now ready for a forever home. He comes with all his supplies so no vet, shopping or house breaking is required. Apollo is a happy snuggly boy, loves walks, other animals and children, tug o war, and fetch. He’ll make a great family dog, sleeping buddy, or hiking companion.

Story
Cici was adopted from a local shelter. She is a loving pup who craves attention. She can be kept busy with a bunch of toys and is also crate trained. She needs a home with high fencing if you plan on leaving her outside unattended for a few minutes. She's extremely responsive to commands and doesn't have any bad eatting habits. (Not protective of her food) I don't have much time to find her a new home, but I'm trying really hard to do it the right way.
