Good with kids, House-trained,

Story

Meet my princess💛 Star is my Golden Retriever mix, and she’s about 2–2.5 years old. I adopted her in June 2024 in Oak Grove, Kentucky, while I was stationed there in the U.S. Army. She’s been such a bright, happy part of my life. She’s very energetic and full of personality. She loves people and gets excited to meet anyone new. Sometimes when she’s really excited, she plays a little rough — but she has never bitten or shown aggression toward people or other dogs. She’s just a happy girl who doesn’t always realize her own strength. She’s completely house-trained and has never had accidents inside. She’s also very food-motivated — if you’re holding a snack, she will appear next to you immediately. That also makes her easier to train. One thing about Star — she loves to chew. She’ll definitely need strong chew toys. She’s also pretty athletic and can jump a fence that’s around 3 feet tall, so she shouldn’t be left outside alone without supervision. She will come with food bag& cages

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Denver is an 11 year old heeler corgi mix. He is a very, very good boy, and so smart. He will sit, stay, close doors, stop, get in bed, shake. He is not good aggressive, but he is nervous. We have the smaller brown dog, and 2 young girls. Recently Denver has began growling at the girls. He’s nipped, but not bitten. He is generally very lazy, as an old man; and listens very, very well. But we realized it may be time to find this guy a home without littles.
