Story
Chance was born on Dec 25,2025, he is a German shepherd, Australian shepherd mix. He does really well with my golden retriever. He does well with my cat, wants to play but does not chase when she flees. Has been to the vet twice and is up to date on all vaccinations. He’s very skittish when it comes to people and needs a lot of work and support in learning that people are good. He did poorly at the vet the first time was barking a lot and growled a few times but never tried to nip. The second time he did much better, was still very nervous but was taking many treats from the vet and was approaching her on his own. He’s learned sit, kennel and go potty quickly. He knows down but does not do well staying in the down. He’s learned to chew on bones not other things quickly. He can last 9 hours in his kennel without having an accident. He’s very sweet once he gets comfortable around you but I don’t have time to dedicate to socializing him like he needs.

Story
Buster is an incredibly sweet and loyal boy. He will turn 11 this year but he still has so much love to give. He wants nothing more than a lap to nap on and a full belly. Buster does have chronic ear infections but, they are easy to treat if it is noticed early. He is a 58lbs boy who currently lives with other dogs but doesn't love meeting new ones, as he gets older. He can be overly assertive with others dogs. He does not like cats and sees them as prey. He comes from a home where he has been loved and adored but, my partner died very unexpectedly and I have had to move into a much smaller house, with a smaller yard and cats. He is bonded to me but loves meeting new people and is eager to make new human friends.

Story
Chayni came to my partner as a 3 month old puppy. Her birthday is in November and she will turn 11 this year. She has always lives in a house with other dogs but as she has gotten older, she doesnt tolerate them as well. She is incredibly intelligent, stubborn, active, and can be very loyal. Chayni does not like cats and sees them as prey. Unfortunately, my partner died very unexpectedly and I have had to into a much smaller place, with a smaller yard, and several cats. I have a strong bond with Chayni and she is very much loved but needs to be in a less crowded, triggering space. Chayni is, overall, in good health although her back hips bother her from time to time.
