Story
My wife and I adopted Deuce from a humane society in Iowa state. His name was Joshua because I wanted a junior but on the way home, he took a number two on my wife twice. So I immediately changed his name to Deuce. His birthday, is February 25th 2023. He has been a great dog. But over the past 8 months, he has became very distant and skittish. I have no clue what is wrong with him. Deuce has never been abused, he is loved dearly. He snuggles with his family and his fur brothers both cat and dog. Deuce seems like he has high anxiety, hes always on alert thinking he hears or sees things that the other dogs don't respond to. I think he would be happier in a home with minimal foot traffic, less people, pets, and stranger's coming in and out. He just needs a quiet home with a big yard and a couple who love to snuggle and go on walks.

Story
This is Vader. He's about 7 yrs old. He was a rescue that had one owner before me. He isn't the best with other dogs and he needed a bit of time to get used to my other dog. So best to just be a single dog in the home. He doesn't need much attention and hangs out on the couch all afternoon with an occasional trip to my office to visit me. He is a lover but not a needy dog. When you come home from work he is so excited to see you. Even when I bring him with me in my vehicle and just get gas he likes to give kisses when you get back in. haha Maybe he thinks he's going to be left behind; I don't know but it's an adorable quality. He can be left at home for 5 or 6 hours and does well. He likes to go places and go for walks. He likes to hop in bed with you at bed time but I'm positive he will be fine on the floor. He's a good protector dog and he likes to keep an eye on you in most situations. Thank you for looking. He comes with leash and collar.

Story
About 7 years old. This dog is a lover and would be great with a family with kids. He also loves to go for car rides and the dog park too. He is partially trained on commands. I wasn't able to find time to complete his training. He definitely has character. Sometimes he will talk on his own like when im getting ready for work. I usually bring him with me so maybe that meanshappy. Most times when he lays down he will grunt like he had an exhausting day. haha He can be skittish with loud noises and if you drop a fork on the kitchen floor he will scoot over to the living room for example. He's a chaser of squirrels and rabbits in my fenced backyard. Also he does dig sometimes but I'm sure that can be fixed with training or other techniques. Oh and winter is probably his favorite season since he's part Great Pyrenees. He will roll in the snow over and over. He will eat the snow too haha. I will provide his leash and other items free.

Very sweet German Shepard. Very loving and loyal. He is good with other dogs but humans are his favorite. He does have separation anxiety wher is is good with being left alone at the house but gets a bit crazy with being left at unfamiliar places; daycare, boarding, the vet etc… Very well trained. Doesn’t have a crate and will stay free roaming in the house while owners are gone. Very well behaved.

Story
This is Easy girl. Shes just a little over 6 year old Mini Aussie/Heeler mix we've had since she was a puppy. This has been a tough decision lately but my husband and I have decided it would be best for the house hold if we tried to find her a better home. Shes the most active in the house and would love a big property to run around and roam or a more active owner. She has some bored destructive behaviors because of her breed. Shes very sweet and loves people. Listens very well. I have her off leash whenever its possible. Just got all our shots up to date and she's in good health. Just needs to lose a little weight with diet food and more exercise.
