Hello. We are trying to rehome our Charlie. He is a stray that showed up to my kids’ school and they begged us to keep him. He is full of energy and a very sweet dog. Unfortunately, with our busy schedule, we don’t have the time to dedicate to him. We would love to find him a forever loving home.

Hannah has not yet experienced her first cycle of heat. She is crate trained, uses outdoor and pup pads. Hannah is the friendliest Blue Heeler you’ll ever meet, she is full of love and always happy.

Story
Sova is the SWEETEST girl! ❤️ She was born late January 2021, we've had her since she was about 6 weeks old. Unfortunately, as she's gotten older her need for more attention and space to run has become more than we can handle. 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, but chicken is her favorite meal 🫩 (we live in a residential country neighborhood and there are a lot of chickens around us).

Timber is a good dog, who loves to play and get loves. She is an outside dog but loves to come inside. Knows how to lay in a crate. Needing to rehome her because she isn’t getting along with our other dog. She would be perfect for a first pet. Had her first shots but that was it.
