Story
Jack's owner, my mother, had an emergency healthcare need that has left her unable to care for Jack. My wife and I have been temporarily homing him, but we don't have the ability to accommodate for him in our home long-term. We are hoping we can be involved in finding him a forever home. Jack is 9 years old, but he still gets the zoomies--he and my son will run from one end of our house to the other over and over. He'll grumble at you if he needs outside or wants your attention. He cuddles by leaning into you like you're cuddling up to watch a movie. He's protective of his food around other dogs (growls and hovers around his bowl), and has growled at my son. He is comfortable with an adult interacting with his food / bowl. He is relatively easy to train with consistency. For example, if he has a habit (like sleeping on your bed), and you keep consistent on the new boundary, he does well accepting it.

Story
I adopted Coda from a California rescue where I was a trainer. She was very reactive and untrained when I got her. After a year of dedicated training, she transformed into a wonderful companion with several canine friends, including an unexpected bond with a small purse dog. We were inseparable until I moved her to a farm in Lawrence County after getting married. However, the farm life hasn't suited her; her prey drive led to the deaths of our poultry and posed a danger to our cats. Now relegated to an outdoor kennel, she barks constantly. As a busy father and business owner, I can't give her the attention she needs anymore so its no longer best for her to be with me. She has to go. No hip displasia. Love to play, train, hike, run, and just be by her owners side. I know shes older (12-13 I think) but shes one of a kind, I'm hoping to find a loving retirement home where she can spend her remaining years comfortably, happy and getting the love and dedication she rightfully deserves.

Story
This is Chanel. She is a little over a year and a half old. She grew up in an outside kennel. She is the sweetest girl with beautiful coloring. She is considered to be small/medium but she has a big personality. She is a very active girl and would do best in an active home. She can be a little nervous when she is in the house. She definitely prefers to me outside and running around. She is great with other animals. She has a submissive personality. She has started her house training, leash training and crate training. She is shy and reserved when meeting new people but she is very food motivated so that helps to make training easier. She prefers to be with people and other animals rather than being alone.
