Story
Leuke is a mini Aussie! I got leuke from my best friend who was trying to find him a home (due to moving), we had previously adopted Leukes son and thought it’d be good to have them together, they have previously gotten along.He is 3 years old and we’ve had him for about 5 months Leuke has mild food aggression but overall he does well around our cats. He isn’t great with other dogs (we did not know this before getting him) it seems he just wants to be the dominant. He does seem to get stressed around younger children, but does well around my 10 year old, and he has no issue with our baby (though he isn’t crawling yet) . He is really a very friendly dog, very loyal, and wants nothing but lovins and attention. He would just do best in a slower environment with lots of room to run.

Story
Bailey was about a year old when she was rescued from an unhealthy environment. She is now 8 yrs old. She loves to run outside and chase squirrels. In the house she is a good watch dog and will bark when she hears people walking past or someone who is in the driveway. She is not a picky eater and eats dry dog food. She is a gentle dog who loves to be petted and brushed. She likes to lay down near people. She has a great smile! She gets along well with children. She enjoys exploring smells around the yard and likes cooler weather. She is past the puppy stage and very chill in the house and would make a good companion. She gets along well with other pets.

Nova came to our house as a puppy. She is 9 years old. She is a mixed boxer breed and very gentle. She likes to cuddle. She eats dry dog food with some water. She loves to run outside and explore the back yard but does not like cold or wet weather. She will come in when called. In the house she is a good watch dog and will bark when she hears people walking past or someone in the driveway. She loves to be petted and brushed. She is past the puppy stage so would make a great companion for your home.

Story
notorius has been an excellent companion and friend to me. It saddens me greatly that I have to even consider letting him go. He is now 6 years old and I have had him since he was 7.5 weeks old and he has literally never left my side. He never meets a stranger and wants to be loved by everyone. He has been raised with my grandchildren and loves kids, he loves car rides and playing outside but is very used to his comfy life inside. He has never stayed outside and has always been inside the home. notorius has also never been around cats so I'm not sure how he will react to them. I just want him to go to a loving home where someone has the time and love he deserves.
