Story
Meet our sweet Angel! She is about 11 months old and as happy as can be! She is crate trained, knows to sit, shake, and play dead, and loves running at the dog park. My husband and I found ourselves taking this sweet girl in this past spring, and she has been a perfect fit. Unfortunately, with a new place in our future, we will not be allowed to have Angel live with us. This sweet girl needs a loving, permanent home with possibly a shepherd-experienced owner. As with all pups Angel's age, she is still learning some manners like not crying when we first leave her in her crate, not chewing "toys" like phone chargers, and how to play nice with other dogs. Before Angel came to us, we suspect she had not had a lot of animal exposure, so she can become very protective if she feels unsafe around other dogs. But she is all bark! Such a perfect dog, we just wish for her to find the most AMAZING doggy parents.

Knox

Husky

Male, adult
Wapakoneta, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Knox, is a 2.5 year old mix breed. He has husky (approx 43%), grey wolf (25%), Alaskan malamute (20%), and German shepherd (11.6%). He does well with MOST dogs, but must meet first if other dogs in household. We have attempted crate training for approximately a year now, but he does not tolerate and frequently has accidents in the house/in kennel. He can sit, shake, and lay down upon command. However, cannot be left alone without supervision due to his high anxiety. Can and will be destructive if left alone. Would benefit being outdoors with high fence or be with a family who is home almost all the time.

Story
Mavis is a 16 week old german shepherd, american bull dog mix. She is a lap dog at heart, loves to be touching someone at all times. Her ears tend to pick and choose when they want to stand up but almost always she has one standing up. She had much more energy than I anticipated when i got her. She needs someone who has time for her, as i wish that person could be me so bad. She has had her first round of shots, and all rounds or wormer.
