Story
Hello my name is Willow! I am a 1 year old Belgian Malinois and Catahoula Leopard Hound. I absolutely LOVE dogs! I play well with all breeds and sizes at the dog park. I am high energy and need to go to the dog park daily and like being outdoors. I am the only dog in my current home and would thrive from living with other dogs. I currently am living in a very small apartment and this is hard for me. I am very hyper vigilant. I am very loyal and protective and bark at dogs and outside noises. This makes apartment living hard for me. Ideally, I would do well with a large fenced in yard or on a farm where I can be free to run with other dogs. I am loving and like to give kisses. I do not like sudden movements towards me, especially when I am laying down. I tend to get startled and may growl when startled but I have never bit anyone and I don’t intend to. I thrive in a loving, clear boundaried environment. If you’re active, I just may be the dog for you!

Story
Jack (8 years old) has always been an independent and really smart dog. We adopted him at 2 months and he didn't ever seem that interested in cuddling and snuggling. He likes to play (fetch, frisbee, tug of war, chase, you name it!), and wants to learn and be stimulated. He knows every trick under the sun, and would love to do agility or other more intensive dog training. He is tremendously smart, and knows so many commands - he picks up new tricks super quickly. He would love to have owners who are active and engaged with him. I originally posted him when we had our first, but we made it work so I removed him. Now we have had three kids in the last five years, and we have very little time to get him the activity that he needs and deserves. We think Jack would love to have owners with more attention and energy to keep him active every day, with walks, runs, or playing outside. If this sounds like you, please reach out!

Story
Kanoa needs to be in a home where she is the only dog. She gets along great with our male dog, but with other females she has a problem. She is GREAT with kids and people. I really don’t want to rehome her, but it’s what will work best for our family AND for her. She is completely house trained. We just want her to go to a great home and be loved the way that we love her. Happy to answer any and all questions about her so if you have questions, just ask!

Story
Blue is such a loving and kind boy! He’s nervous at first with new dogs, so due to that he would either like to be the only dog, or have time to warm up to a new brother or sister. Unknown about cats. He is great with kids. He is being rehomed due to military family relocating and not able to bring him. No fault of his own. Please help us find this sweet guy a loving home!

Story
Tia is approximately 6 months old, we adopted her from the shelter a little over 2 months ago. When she first came to us she was really timid and scared BUT with a little time and love, she has really come out of her shell. She's playful and snuggly. She LOVES playing with other dogs and during training she was introduced to cats and did well with them. She is house and crate trained and knows basic commands (sit, down, stay). She's also up-to-date on all of her shots. She needs to be in a home with no kids, despite working with a trainer, she is still afraid of kids and we cannot keep her because of this. We have been working on socializing her with people and she does well with dog walkers coming in/out of the home but she is scared of kids.

Story
Kanoa is the sweetest and biggest baby out there. She is super affectionate and loves being loved on. She has a great personality, communicates well, loves playing fetch, and is an all-around amazing dog. Unfortunately, she has had problems with our other female dog, and they can no longer be around each other and are separated 24/7. Couple that with the fact that I just took a job in NC and brought her with me, but I work fifteen hours a day and can't be around her as much as I need or want to. I am looking for a great forever home with an experienced owner who would have her as an only dog. She is terrific with kids and adults and is a sweet, sweet girl. Happy to answer any questions about her that you have, and look forward to hearing from you.
