Story
Hello, my name is Rudy, a sun loving, toy destroying cuddler. My family is growing with little humans, that I just cant seem to get comfortable with. I would do best to be in an adult home with infrequent visits from little ones. I am very smart and my parents have put a lot of time into my training. I have real life training skills such as "place", "lets go", "leave it", recall and when my little doorbell rings I know to go to my crate. I have been e-collared trained and know how to walk on a leash. My favorite activities include playing tug-o-war, running around outside, playing fetch, and napping on my dog bed or couch. I love structure and stability. When you are gone I love to be in my crate! If you end up being the right fit for me, my family will supply all the tools I currently use, so that we are best set up for success. I really am the perfect boy, but need the controlled energy that adults provide.

Story
May I introduce Mocha, he is a 4 year old Aussie/German Shephard mix. We adopted him during covid and he has been an amazing addition to our family. Mocha loves to take walks, he is a very happy boy, and loves attention and to get lots of loves from his humans. He would sit for hours if your petting him. He is a very good guard dog and listens well. However, he is an escape artist and does not like to be in a create. He is very good in the home and does not chew or make a mess. We are rehoming him because we also adopted a pit mix that very aggressively attaches him. After years of trying to keep them apart we think Mocha would have a better life if he was able to run and play and not be confined half the time due to his brothers aggression. He would do better in a home with older children but is good with all people.

Story
Hades is a loving and sweet, however, slightly anxious 2-year-old Great Dane. He came to us 1 1/2years ago by way of a private owner where we also got our other Great Dane. He gets along well with both cats and dogs. We found that the rambunctious nature of small children is too much for his anxiety. He never bit but has lunged and nipped at both small children and strangers. He has never had any formal training, as have none of our other dogs. This has only been a problem with Hades. He does not respond very well to leashes but he does know basic commands ie sit, stay. He is crate trained.Since he does not get along with the small children in our home, we have to have him crated unless his mistress Amanda is home. She is the one he responds to the best in the house and is his main caretaker. Hades has all his shots up to date and he is neutered. He gets bathed and groomed regularly. He has a lot of energy and would do well with adults and hopefully a fenced in yard.

Story
Hades is it 2-year-old purebred, neutered, male,Great Dane with all his shots up to date. He is high energy and loves to play with his toys, as well as other dogs, but also loves to cuddle. He is an anxious dog and needs to warm up to strangers. Although we've had him since he was a pup and has grown up around our children, he does not do well with small children which is why we are adopting him out. He has never bitten anyone but has nipped at our little one. He has no formal training but is crate trained and been walked on a leash minimally. He would do well with a couple that has no small children or a single adult with a yard for him to run and play in. He is not on medicine for anxiety but we find that chaos of a large family and three other dogs is just too much for him. We have another great dane his age and they get along very well and he also is good with our little wiener dog too. He is a very loving dog and would do well with a lot of attention,love and room to play in.

Story
Hi, I’m Lila — a sweet, happy girl who’s always ready to make a new friend! I’m super approachable and love being around people. I`m always excited when it’s time to leash up and go for a walk . Once we’re out and about, I love exploring new sights and smells. I’m very food- and treat-motivated, which makes training fun and easy. I’m also interested in toys and enjoy playtime, but what I love most is getting attention and affection from people. I’m confident in new environments and settle down nicely once I’ve had some time to explore. If you’re looking for a loving, social companion who’ll bring warmth and happiness into your home, I’d love to meet you! Click PLAY to watch my video !

Story
Hi, I’m Storm E Girl! I’m a beautiful lady with a soft heart and a gentle spirit. I may take a little time to warm up to new people and new places, but once I feel safe, you’ll see my sweet personality shine. I love being outside — the fresh air helps me relax, and I’m happiest exploring the world at my own pace. I walk very nicely on a leash, and treats definitely help me build trust (I think they’re pretty great!). I’m looking for a calm, patient home where I can settle in slowly and be someone’s whole world. I do best as the only dog in the house, so I can bond closely with my person. If you’re the kind of person who understands that trust takes time—and you’re looking for a loyal companion to share quiet moments, outdoor adventures, and a lifelong bond—I think we could be a perfect match.
