Story
Meet Blaise. 3 y/o German Shepherd. Blaise is sweet, gentle & loves to have his chest scratched. He has received 2 weeks of board & train & has excellent recall. He loves car & mule rides. He thinks the mule is his. We often find him curled up on the back seat waiting for a ride. On our hikes, which he loves, he frequently checks on his humans to make sure everyone is ok. When he is not curled up on a couch, or laying by our feet, he is usually outside with Mr. Bingley, our 11yr old black lab and my son's puppy. He loves our children & will just lay near them and watch them play. Transparent reason for rehoming is recently the 2 yr old jumped on his side. His reaction - putting his mouth over her whole face. He was reacting to pain. He did not hurt her and she is fine. Could have been worse though. I am worried he might accidentally hurt them, though not intentionally. He also has a short, explainable bite history - reason for B&T(muzzled trained). He is a sweet boy & needs a good home

Story
Petey is a sweet, fun, lovable pup. I have had him since birth. He is 5 months old now. He has been raised on a ranch around lots of other animals, dogs, cats, horses, cows, and rabbits. He is very good with my kids and will follow them anywhere. He is a pretty good guard dog as well barks when ever anyone or anything comes near the house. He is a good boy, sits for his food or a treat and will shake. He loves other dogs and cats. Honestly the only problem I am having with him right now is he keeps chasing my horse around and the cows. That is in his breed though. His dad is a full blood blue heeler and his mom is a catahoula / blue Lacey mix. He is not potty trained as he has been strictly an outside dog. He has been wormed several times and had one round of puppy shots but he will need another round of shots and a rabies shot. Also not fixed yet. He needs a loving home that has the time to give him the attention he deserves.

Story
Sova is the SWEETEST girl! ❤️ She was born late January 2021, we've had her since she was about 6 weeks old. She absolutely loves the water, she loves to run, and she loves attention. She is great with kids, she doesn't bother our cats or other (small) dogs.We have such a busy schedule and unfortunately can't offer her the attention she needs. We love her but we know she deserves so much more than we can give her.
