Story
Gilligan is a fantastic dog, he has a great personality and and very loving. I like to describe him like the3rd hyena off of the lion king lol the only issue he ever has is he needs to eat separate from any dog/child or anything because he used to be bullied in a kennel and has attacked our child trying to help feed him. Just feed him separately and everything will be perfect ! Would be great at hunting as well, please someone come love my sweet boy 🩵

Story
Remi is 1 year 3 months old, 130 pounds. She has been to puppy training, house trained, and crate trained. She can sit, lay, stay, come when called, heel, and leash trained, Unfortunately Remi has started resource guarding with our other dogs. We have spoke with our Vet and this is common with this age and breed of dog. With additional training she should be able to work through this behavoir. Out of growing concern for our other 2 small dogs we believe it would be best if she was in a only dog home. She has been fine around dogs outside of our home (big or small), she often lays down to greet them. She has never been around small kids but has always been very friendly to anyone she meets. She has a very sweet and funny personality. Couch potato most of the time. She is still young so spurts of puppy energy is to be expected. Best if you have time and room for a XL breed. Continued training would be recommended as she is not done growing. She is up to date on all shots.

Story
Joey is a sweet dog who has been with us since he was 8 weeks old. He is now a 60 lb., 2.5 year old dog who is house trained to ring a bell when he needs to go. He has lived life mostly indoors. He is on a leash when he goes out. He loves people, but other dogs have scared him since he was attacked as a puppy. He is a medium-high energy dog that loves to play and run when he can. He is also a notorious sock thief and never refuses a nap when play time is over. He is microchipped, neutered, current on all shots and in good health. We are looking to rehome as we are not able to keep up with him due to changing work schedules.

Adopt Rukia 💕 Pit mix, DOB 3/25/22, female, 50lbs Rukia is a spunky pitbull mix— she’s a unique, energetic, affectionate, sassy girl who is looking for a home to thrive in! She’s happiest being the center of attention— she loves toys, treats, romping around outside, and endless cuddles and scratches! She has a slight limp from a broken leg she got as a puppy, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and knows tons of tricks and commands! She’s very treat motivated and eager to please. Rukia is best suited for a home where she is the only dog, she does like other dogs, but doesnt like to share. She loves all people, (including children), but older kiddos would be ideal to handle her rambunctious nature. Her silly personality and energetic nature are perfect for someone who needs a loyal sidekick to tackle each day with! Rukia is current on vaccines, microchipped, and spay.
