Story
Athena is an active velcro dog who stays by your side whether you are indoors or spending time outside. She loves playing fetch and tug-of-war but also entertains herself with her favorite toys or chewing on her favorite bone.She does well without a crate, including during work hours and overnight. Loud noises like thunder, fireworks, and bug zappers can make her anxious.Athena takes a moment to warm up to new people, but once comfortable she becomes a loyal protector and best friend.Due to her size and strength, she is best suited for a home with older children. She would do best in an only dog home or with larger male dogs, as she has shown aggression towards 1 of our female dogs due to alpha traits.Athena's vaccinations are up to date until 8/29 and she was spayed on 8/17/26.We have had Athena since 1/2/26, 2 days before her 1st birthday, and we are heartbroken to say goodbye to her. She needs a safe home, sense of purpose and an endless supply of ear scratches and belly rubs.

Story
Theta is about 4 years old. She is a very sweet dog. We only need to re-home her b/c she has attacked my other dog a few times. 99% of the time, the 2 dogs are best buddies. The aggression has mostly been over food so we separate them for that. But this last time was for no reason. She is quite good with kids but she does still jump a lot and she is big. I have kids and she has been great with them! My youngest was 11 when we got her. She needs to be with a family who can deal with a large dog who runs and jumps a lot. With the food aggression, she has growled at us over food, but only ever as a warning. She needs a family who understands that they can’t try to take her food away. More training may help with this. Sadly, we are not able to get that training. She loves to be outside. She needs a fenced in yard or someone who can walk her multiple time an day and train her better to talk on a leash. With training, she would be very good on a leash.
