Story
Pete is currently 5 years old. And was originally rescued from Texas. He is a great dog, he has 2 dogs he plays with frequently. And grew up with a 4 year old child (now 9). He is good with people and other dogs especially once he gets to know them (he can be a little timid at first on occasion). He does bark as a typical dog would. The main reason for him needing to be rehomed is that we are moving and are expecting. He has occasionally growled and got defensive when other kids were over roughhousing with my daughter. Never bit anybody but did growl and acted defensive about it. with these instances there were a lot of people running around at once so it may have been overwhelming for him. He is awesome and comfortable with the people he knows, We would love to keep him but with a child on the way who he doesn’t know yet we do not want to risk it. And hope to find him a home. He is house and crate trained. He currently rings the bell at the back door when he needs out

Story
Sam is a sweet and loving dog who needs an experienced owner to give him a safe home. Sam has been with us since he was a puppy and he’s an incredibly smart and high energy dog. Unfortunately, he has some behavioral problems and struggles with reactivity and anxiety. He has been through extensive behavioral training and has come a long way. But, we are expecting our first child, and unfortunately Sam’s behavior can be unpredictable. He has bitten a handful of times in his life, when he was afraid or stressed. It has not happened often, and he has never caused significant injury to the person. However, with a baby on the way, we can’t risk his behaviors in our home. We are heartbroken to rehome him, because Sam is such a beautiful dog and he can be so incredibly sweet. We know there is a home out there for him where he can continue to grow and be safe. He just needs an experienced owner who can give him lots of love and activity.

Oakley is a pretty calm adult dog who is just waiting patently for someone to come along and give her the chance to show how special she is. For some reason, she is always overlooked. She sits so nicely for treats and walks really well on her leash. She'd love a comfy couch to lay on during these upcoming cold months.

Story
This big girl is still a little shy at the kennel. She’s been through a whole lot of changes in the last couple weeks. She was picked up as a Ray who had been sprayed by a skunk. So she had to get treated for the skunk spray And then come to the kennel where she’s adjusting to all of the other dogs and all of the chaos. But she’s starting to come out of her shell and she appears to be very friendly and lovable. She’s a big girl who’s going to get even bigger. If you’re interested in meeting her, please email us at.
