Sage was a husky used for breeding then left in the backyard when they were done with her. She is a sweet husky who loves people and other dogs. Sage is a typical husky with a big personality. Sage is 3 years old and needs exercise. She loves walks and the dog park. She also loves kids, she is working on not jumping up when she gets excited. Sage is kennel trained but doesn’t love to be in a kennel, she also loves being out in the yard but does not want to live outside. She cuddles and loves belly rubs. If you’d love a sweet husky with a personality and understand the breed she is the dog for you.

Story
Freckle is a purebred rat terrier who was born on July 30. He was a present for someone who didn’t have the capability to give him what he needed, I am fostering him until he finds his forever home. He is working on potty training and doing very well. He gets along with big and small dogs but may need time to warm up to a big dog so he can see it is not going to hurt him. He still like to chase cats we are working on that. Unknown how he is with kids. He is rattie through and through and I would preferably want someone familiar with the breed. This sweet little pup deserves someone who will keep him for life. He loves to snuggle and play fetch. He has normal crazy puppy energy but will crash for a nap. He has first shots and second but needs a booster and is not neutered yet. He is chipped. I will be asking typical questions that a rescue would ask to make sure it will be a good fit. Will want a reference and to see where he will be living over FaceTime or with pics.

JackJack is a very sweet boy born February 8th, 2023 to his golden retriever mother. He is neutered. He is okay with cats, chickens and poultry. HE LOVES to PLAY BALL ALL THE TIME. He needs his ball everywhere he goes and it has to be his King ball. He is not noise shy aka fireworks don't bother him. He is kennel trained but does have anxiety if kenneled too long. He loves for you to play ball inside or outside. He is is a big boy almost 70lbs, and needs someone that understand he has to have a special crate or he will breaks out. kennel included in adoption. He needs only his dog food as people food upsets his stomach. I'm not sure how he will do around other dogs but a home by himself would be ideal. A family with older kids who play ball all the time. Please understand due to his drive, He will run over the kids if chasing the ball. He is not being mean just loves his ball. He needs a fenced in yard or country living.

Story
#1 and 2 current. Rocky was born on February 8th, 2023. His mother is a purebred Golden Retr (I pictured her #3-she is not available). #4 is younger rocky- 2024. Rocky is a fun goofy boy who will be 2 in February. He is a neutered male. Rocky is a dominate boy in the litter. He needs an adopter who doesn't have other dogs as I don't know how he will handle it. He likes to learn/play ball. He needs Kong/king toys as he will destroy stuff toys or anything else he can focus his chewing habit on including tennis balls are a no go. Fireworks/loud sound don't bother him. He sits and walks well on a leash. He doesn't like car rides. He drools a lot. He does well with cats, chickens and poultry farm animals. I don't leave him out with animals but the 10-20 minute potty breaks, he does well. He is an inside boy who kennels nicely. He likes attention but doesn't crave it. He would do well in a older established home with older kids 12+/college kids. He is a great boy in search of a forever home!

Chunky and Irish (pic #2) were born February 8th, 2023. CHUNKY AND IRISH HAVE TO GO TOGETHER IN THE ADOPTION! 400 for both neutered boys Chunky and Irish were born to a Golden Retr (pic3). They are both submissive boys and need each other to build confidence. Chunky is braver than Irish. Irish is VERY Scare/ timid boy. They don't like care rides- throw up. Chunky is okay with loud sounds. IRISH- No fireworks!! Irish is scared of yelling, screaming, loud music, the fly swatter anything that he sees you have, he will hide. He has never been hit but its his personality. He is very sensitive boy. Chunky is his kennel mate. kennel included in adoption. BOTH the boys PLAY with each other and get along great! They eat in the kennel together. Irish and Chucky love to sleep with you. Chunky is a cuddler. Irish will cuddle on his terms. They need a quiet country environment. Someone who doesn't have young kids or much company. The best situation would be an older female who just needs company.
