Story
This is the toughest thing our family has ever had to consider. Tiger is so incredibly special to us. With that said, we had a baby in December of 2022 and always thought and hoped that Tiger and our son would be best friends. Unfortunately, Tiger has had a very difficult time no longer being the baby and resents our son. We have not taken this decision lightly but for the safety of our son and for Tiger’s overall happiness, we think he deserves more. We feel at this time that we aren’t able to give him the life he deserves. Tiger was born in December of 2019. He is so fun, silly, and so smart. He requires a lot of love and pets. He will want to sleep in your bed and follow you all around. He has been a joy to our family ever since we got him. We love him so incredibly much and will wait as long as it takes to find him the right fit of a home. We want him to have the absolute best and most loving life. He will require being in a home with no kiddos so that he can be the baby.

Story
Merle is a family dog! He wants to be wherever you are. He is good with other dogs and loves kids. He enjoys going for long walks and walks great on a leash he loves to have his ball thrown. Merle needs a lot of attention and exercise, and with our growing family we have found that we are unable to keep up with his needs and why we are considering rehoming him. A board Aussie is a destructive Aussie and we have had a lot of our personal items destroyed due to our inability to give Merle what he needs. We love to see him with a family or individual(s) who love to be outdoors and hike, and have the capability of taking him along. He is very smart and has a high drive to learn and please. He is also a big cuddle bug! He is housetrained, and he is kennel trained.

Story
Lieutenant (named after lieutenant Dan) came to us about 4 years ago as a sweet puppy. She’s has such a precious heart and personality. In a dream world she would be held all day, every day. We adopted her from a breeder that was going to put her down due to her being a runt that no one wanted. We instantly fell in love with her spirit. Shortly afterwards we realized she is blind and has strong anxiety due to this. She also loves being outside and running in circles. We have found a groomer that loves her and is trained for special needs dogs. We also have a vet that understands her also. Sticking with this vet and groomer would be a big plus for us. She is crate trained, we keep a heating pad in there along with white noise to help her calm down. At the end of the day we just don’t have the time for her. We would love to have the time to spend with her but unfortunately we both need to work full time. She gets along fine with our border collie but would maybe do best as an only pet.

Story
Bjorn is a 1-year-old Border Collie with a heart as big as their ears! This lovable pup is searching for a forever home where they can share endless cuddles and playtime. Bjorn would thrive in a loving and active household. They adore human companionship and would do best in a home where they're not left alone for long periods. A family with older children or adults who can provide plenty of attention, exercise, and structured training would be ideal. Bjorn is known for his friendly and gentle nature. He loves meeting new people and furry friends alike! He is always up for a game of fetch or a leisurely stroll in the park. He is a quick learner and would excel in obedience training with positive reinforcement. Bjorn is up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and in good health. They have been well-cared-for and are ready to bring joy to their new family. If you're interested in welcoming Bjorn into your heart and home, please contact me by phone/email.
