Story
I adopted Lovey about 1 year ago because I wanted a companion for myself and a guardian for my property, which includes chickens. After a relatively short period when I got her at 7 mos and needed to train her out of the typical puppy behaviors, she was perfect. The absolute most affectionate, loyal, cuddly dog you could hope for, plus a very vigilant watch dog who would bark at anything suspicious but not excessively. I regret so much having to give her up, but she eventually went on to develop an obsession for chasing and harming my chickens, which after trying everything except full enclosure, is not feasible. She is the best dog ever for anyone with kids, especially for a single person who wants to bond very deeply with a pet, basically anyone without chickens. She even learned to tolerate my 2 cats even without supervision. She is crate trained to a crate that is connected to an opening in the wall where there is a doggie door that she comes and goes freely. Lovey’s your girl

Story
Bane is a sweet loving dog. He was adopted by the precious owner from a shelter after being abused. He is very loyal, loving, and loves attention. He is good with other dogs as long as he has introduced properly. He would be good as an only dog. He looks to be part pig and part lab. He is good with my grandbabies

Story
Woody was from a litter of puppies that our family friends had for sale. The father of the puppies was a mini Aussie, but the mother was Aussie and we think Border Collie. He is a sweet dog who really loves to be around people. He is playful and smart, and he deserves a home where someone will take him for walks and get him out of the house. He loves the creek by our house and enjoys playing tug of war. Our financial and family situation has changed a lot in the last few months and we have not been able to give him the attention he deserves. We hate to lose him, but we know that he deserves better than we can give him right now. He is four years old and is up to date on his vaccinations and does well at the vet. He loves kids and loves to play with cats. He hasn't had much experience with dogs, but doesn't seem to mind them in the park or other public places.

Story
Woody is a four-year-old Australian Shepherd, Border Collie mix (we think he might also have blue heeler in him). He was supposed to be a mini Aussie, because he father was, but apparently mom was bigger because he is a medium-sized dog. But he is very lovable and loves to play. We got him from a friend of the family who was selling their puppies. He has been very healthy and has no problem going to the vet or being boarded. We love him, but our family structure is changing and we won't be able to keep him in the new arrangement. We are also gone a lot, so he doesn't get proper playing or exercising, which breaks my heart. I really want him to find a person, couple, or family that will give him the love and attention he deserves. He's very smart (sometimes sneaky), but he is a good dog.
