Story
Yara - Is a 1 year, 10 month old female Belgian Malinois. Yara has an energetic personality and once bonded will love you with all she has. She is housebroken and crate trained. Yara walks great on a leash or free on a remote collar. Yara enjoys anything from neighborhood walks to long hikes. She is UTD on vaccines/HWP. She is still very much a puppy and will need an experienced Mal owner to guide her. She knows basic commands and will be a quick learner. She is submission around dogs, but does show a strong pray drive with small animals (cats and small dogs) and is reactive towards horses. She would excel at being a hiking buddy. Or in dog sports. She has done a little bit of tracking/trailing work with success.

Story
I adopted Gravy in April he is so sweet and loving, well behaved. He was going to be company for our white lab and they loved each other. Sadly my husband decided left me and had the white lab but didn’t want Gravy. I had to move and can’t have a pet. I want him to go to a loving family because he deserves to be loved. He is very loving and had a hard start. He’s now 3 years old, loves to play, loves to track but gentle with small animals also.

Story
Raisin is a 6 month old Shar Pei mix with a heart of gold. Raisin was found dumped along side a country road at the age of just 3 months. He was suffering from very dry skin and a painful ear infection, yet all he would do was love on anyone willing to give him just a minute or two of their time. Raisin has been treated for his skin with medicated baths and diet. He was given antibiotics for the ear infection and with a continued at home ear cleaning routine, he has done very well. Raisin has been fully vaccinated, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. Raisin loves everyone he meets, although he may take just a little bit to warm up to them. He does great with other dogs and cats. He currently lives with other dogs weighing from 5 lbs to 140 lbs and plays well with them all. He know he can rough house with the bigger ones and some simple play time for the littles. Raisin is a very good eater and currently gets salmon oil with his meals to keep his skin healthy. He is house and potty trained with no accidents. He goes into his nighttime crate very well, knowing a small treat will follow. He knows sit and he he knows the wait command when being given a treat. He walks great on a leash and does not pull. He loves going on outings to the pet store, Lowes and the park. He rides well in the car and jumps right in. Raisin can be left out for 3-4 hours with no issues. He is currently only crated at night. He lives the play hard sleep hard lifestyle. If he's not wrestling one of his fur buddies or playing tug of war with his rope, you can usually find him curled up on the couch or his doggy bed snoring away. Please be aware of the continued care a Shar Pei tends to involve before putting in your application. Raisin is definitely worth it.
