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 seems to do fine with our cats, but he’s gotten very territorial with my other male dog (his son) We were told he had mild food aggression, it’s seems to be more moderate. Growling when any of the animals get close, and sometimes snipping at them, he does well with cage feeding and feeding separately from other animals. He does seem to get stressed around younger children, but does well around my 10 year old. 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
Zelda is a very sweet and very typical German shepherd dog. She is a somewhat shy dog who takes time to acclimate to new people. She is very sweet and has never been known to bite or show aggression towards people but certainly enjoys barking at other dogs. She loves to take her treats and find a hiding place and enjoy peace and quiet. She likes privacy while she eats She enjoys patrolling a large backyard. Would enjoy being adopted by someone who can understand the needs of German Shepherd dogs and engage in the proper training for walks and obedience

Story
This sweet but is very energetic. He is about 7 years old and was kept in a cage most of his life. We’ve had him for about a year and a half but he is too much for our work schedules. We took him in after my father in law passed because he was too much for my mother in law. We currently do not have enough time to spend with him as he needs. He is very sweet and loves to play and run and eat treats. We just want him to have the best life and it’s not with us.

Story
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. 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. Her spay has been scheduled for May 28. She is past the puppy stage so would make a great companion for your home.
