Story
We have a one year old female blue healer we are needing to rehome. She is very people and kid friendly, other dog friendly, and crate/potty trained. Not very cat or chicken friendly, she thinks they are toys to chase but she could learn to not do that with training. She is very smart. We took in her and her sister (litter mates) and can’t keep them both.

Story
We rescued Angel from a hoarding/neglect situation in the neighborhood about a year ago. She's a sweetheart and loves to cuddle with us and run in the back yard. Unfortunately we have a shepherd/heeler mix that's also a two year old female. They both want to be the alpha dog and they don't get along. For the first few months everything was going well, but they started to fuss with each other, and recently it's gotten worse. We are keeping them totally separate right now for their safety. We think she would do great with a family that has lots of room and a big yard for her to run. Ideally she would be the only dog.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kody was welcomed into our family as a little puppy. He is a friendly dog that loves to cuddle and get belly scratches. His favorite activity is to play fetch. He gets along with dogs that are smaller than him, but he tends to be scared and timid around bigger dogs. Although he may need a refresher on his training, he is good on the leash for walks and can follow basic commands such as sit, lay down, shake, stay, and heel. He takes pride in alerting you of anyone outside but can be quiet immediately if you give him the command and praise him for a job well done.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Piper is a very sweet young dog, she gets along with young children and dogs very well. She has not been around cats, but I have not seen any reason to think she would be aggressive with them. She is energetic and very playful. While she has made progress with house training, she is not 100% there yet. We're hoping to find her a home with people that are able to give her the time and attention she deserves.
