Story
This is Tayga (black and brown) and Sage ( white and tan). They have been together since puppies, very sweet and energetic dogs. There was no option for their breed but they are Red heeler Australian cattle dog mix. I just got divorced and I’m in the army, so I’m being forced back into the barracks where I can not have dogs. Ex wife was supposed to take them last week and went radio silent out of state so now I’ve got maybe 2 weeks left to find them a good home :(. They are crate trained, they love to run, swim, fetch, they know basic commands like sit, stay, crate, lay down, and will pretty much go where you tell them to go. Decent recall, they love to run in the fields. I don’t want money or anything I just want them to stay out of the shelter if possible.

Story
Sadly I’m looking to rehome our older husky we got her a few months ago from a shelter we were told her previous owner passed. We introduced her to our kids and other dog and we thought is was going to work. I think she needs to be in a home as an only pet or with other calmer dogs. She is great with my older boys but She has growled at my 2yr old a few times but it was during eating while in her kennel. she does sit with him and lets him pet her. I honestly think she gets overwhelmed with my loud house . She is good with dogs. She is up to date on her shots. I hate to be posting this but I’d love to find her a forever home where she can be happy.
