Story
Charlie is a happy dog. Very loving. He’s crate trained and loves outdoors. He’s just too big and strong for me to handle. He’s not mean. Just loves people and other dogs. Just wants to play! I just can’t walk him because he’s too strong. He pulls me when he sees others people walking or their dogs. He’s knocked me down numerous times. I’m afraid of being hurt badly. I’m 75 and just can’t control him when he sees people.

Story
Lucky is a Smart cute two half year old JRT. He has lots of energy, enjoys hunting out in a big back yard. Always after possums squirrels and birds. He loves chasing the ball and playing frisbee. Luckys ideal owner needs to be very fit and active to keep up with him. He loves a structured day and can get anxious if you leave him for too long. He’s not a big walker but loves his owner to keep him busy. Lucky does not like when you disturb him from sleeping. He will let you know with warning typical JRT attitude growl to tell you he’s not happy. He can be bossy and dominant. Regular engagement in training him works wonders! Loves his treats for tricks! Lots of exercise for Lucky. No couch potato! No need for Exterminator! varmints hate JRT!! No apartments lifestyle for Lucky.experienced Adoptee is very important. Lucky has had professional training in home but it needs to be consistent. The Farm life environment would be great for Lucky! He’s a true hunter and loyal to his master.

HUNTER

Husky German Shepherd Dog

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
Hunter is 6 years old. He’s a very energetic and loyal good boy. He enjoys long walks around the neighborhood, traveling, and needs plenty of space to run free. As much as he enjoys the outdoors he IS an indoor pet. Due to his breed, it is highly necessary that he has a good source of air conditioning and a cool place to relax. With proper introduction he gets along great with other pets and people. He has lived with a small older chihuahua all his life and with a cat. Pets his size also make great companions for him as he does have a lot of energy for playing. On multiple occasions Hunter has proved to be an excellent guard dog as well as being very strong for his size. He’s always on alert day and night. His favorite sleeping spots are couches and at the foot of beds. My family and I love Hunter dearly but our busy schedules have conflicted providing prop care for him. He deserves lots of love and careful attention from any owner who has experience with husky/German shepherd breeds.

Story
Kujo is about 3 years old. He is super adorable and the sweetest dog ever. He loves everyone. He even plays with my cat. He loves to go outside and to take walks. He also loves to sit beside his human. I really hate to give him away but I use a cane to walk, and he is just a little too energetic for me.
