Story
Sky is a lovable pup (16mos) full of energy. Loves to give hugs and kisses. He enjoys going on long walks, especially parks. Really loves fluffy toys, tug of war being his favorite game. He has attended puppy classes and knows some commands. When meeting new people he can be nervous with some but very friendly with others. This might not be a love at first sight, a person who can devote time and patience is preferred. Due to his size and high energy it is not recommended to have him play outside with small children. He is food driven, something to keep in mind when you train.

Story
This is Storm the sweetest most loyal companion you’ll have. We got Storm when she was just a few months old from a family member because we wanted a friend for our other pit bull. We unfortunately didn’t have the time we did with our first to fully socialize and train her so she is having a few behavioral issues. She growls any time she’s around new people although she has never lunged or attempted to attack anyone at all, She pulls on the leash, she’s very energetic and requires a lot of exercise and training time. We recently had a baby in January and haven’t had the time to dedicate to her and although it’s with an extremely heavy heart we know she deserves someone who will give her that. Storm is turning 2 on July 16,2023 and I know will be an amazing companion for someone who can take the time for her. We would like to have someone who has experience with the breed because we need to make sure she’ll find her loving forever home.

Story
Toffie is a very intelligent, loving dog that has the playful spirit of a puppy. She is a goofball that will randomly wobble up to you and paw your leg when she's feeling playful. She never barks, but boy does she yawn. She loves to play chase and tug of rope, and will follow you all throughout the day and even sleep beside you. The reason why I'm looking to rehome her is one, because of her accidents in the house, and two, because of her territorial nature. She's already 75% potty trained and it's hard getting her to that 100% status, but if you feel like you can train Toffie not to do her business indoors, and you don't mind that she'll bark at visitors and is a bit fearful, than Toffie is the dog for you. Outside the home, she'll go anywhere like the world is her runway, and is extremely friendly to cats, dogs, and people, it's when it comes to her house that she's wary of guests.

Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cooper is a male, neutered, 45-lb Australian Shepherd (100% purebred), about 4 years old, originally from Louisiana. This intelligent and affectionate pup is looking for a forever home that offers the peaceful environment that he needs to thrive. Cooper is a reactive dog, and gets anxious when seeing other dogs on the leash. Cooper would really benefit from more professional training once he settled in. He would do best with a person or couple who have a quiet home in a rural setting, preferably with a large fenced-in yard. Ideal owner would be someone who works from home. Cooper is fully vaccinated and has chronic bronchitis which is being managed by taking Prednisone, which will need to be monitored by a vet. Cooper loves puzzle games, tug-of-war rope pull toys, running, and vigorous belly rubs. Cooper is leash and harness trained, as well as crate trained. He is fine being left alone in the crate for short periods and up to five hours.

It is with the heaviest heart that my family and I are making this decision. Sergeant is the most amazing loving dog who deserves a family that can give him the life he deserves. He is the most loyal companion. Any family would be so lucky to have him.
