Story
We adopted Lola 4 years ago, when she was approximately 1 year old. We were told she was a Doberman-Blue Heeler mix. She really can be a good dog, but she needs someone experienced with aggression - we are not. We definitely contributed to her issues unfortunately, as we were living in remote area where she was unexposed to other dogs and people for 3 years. When we moved back here last year, we did try to get her more socialized, but she continually acted aggressive towards new dogs. Even in our backyard, she barks at the neighbors dog and tries scratching through the fence. She has gotten to the point that I can't let her around strangers at all. She does not attack people, but she barks at them, jumps all over, and won't remain calm. I want to note, she has never been aggressive to our 5 year old daughter, and has never bitten anyone. That said, she has been increasingly prone to attacking other dogs, to include our other female dog, to the point of drawing blood.

Story
Gesso is a 1yr old, 85lb, golden retriever/akbash mix. He's neutered, house broken, knows basic commands, walks well on a leash and is up to date on his rabies vax. He is a very energetic boy who needs an active home, preferably with a large yard or property to roam. He has been raised with our two young kids, 3 and 2yrs, and is good with them but often knocks them over because he's so rambunctious. He's good with other dogs, after a slow introduction, and would love to have another dog in the home to play with. No experience with cats.

Story
We adopted Penny from a shelter in October 2025. She is a very sweet and energetic young dog. She loves to play fetch, tug on her rope, and snuggle with mom and dad. She is a fast learner and knows how to sit, lay down and stay. Working on recall. She is 90% housebroken as long as you let her go outside after she eats. She is crate trained and goes to her crate when told. She loves to go on daily walks and has gotten much better on a leash. he doesn’t pull. We love her but unfortunately our older dog does not. We hoped over time she would warm up to Penny but after trying for several months it isn’t going to work. She is great with all other dogs she has met, just not ours. Penny is a dream dog for someone looking for a mostly trained dog with amazing character. She is energetic so she needs a daily walk and possibly fetch sessions in an enclosed space. We will provide the crate, bed, food dishes, winter coat, leash and collar. We just want her to have a safe and loving home.

Story
Harper is a beautiful German Pointer mix with a heart as big as her energy level! At about 50 lbs, she’s the perfect medium-to-large size for adventures and cuddles alike. This sweet girl is incredibly friendly — she loves everyone she meets, from kids to other pets. Harper is happiest when she’s part of the action, whether that’s chasing a ball, joining you on a hike, or tagging along for a long daily walk. She’s a high-energy, outdoorsy pup who would thrive in a home with space to run or with an active family who enjoys spending time outside. Harper is also very food motivated and eager to please, which makes her easy to train and fun to work with. She’s ready to learn, love, and bring endless joy to her forever home. If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share your adventures — and your snacks — Harper might just be your perfect match!
