Story
Max was born 10/21/24 and weighs 90-100 lbs. DNA shows he is 50% Giant Schnauzer, 25% American Pit Bull Terrier, 18% Staffordshire Terrier, and 7% American Bulldog. He is black, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Max has a calm, laid-back temperament. He is quiet indoors (barks only when alerted), comfortable with fireworks and gunshots, and well-socialized with other dogs. He loves to chase others when playing at the dog park and a good dog wrestling match. He spends most of his time indoors but enjoys relaxing in a shaded backyard. He knows sit and stay and walks well on a leash. He has not been around cats. We are rehoming due to frequent overnight work travel and want him in a stable home with consistent companionship. A securely fenced yard and experience with large breeds preferred.

Story
This is Copper! He is my best pal, he joined our family when we had just two kids and has been with us to welcome three more since then. He’s been with us for three moves, our most recent from Colorado to Texas. We’ve had him for 7 years- since he was a 10 week old puppy. He’s an incredibly loyal, loving, happy, goofy, sweet boy. Unfortunately, in the last few months he has become incredibly anxious to the point that he gets worked up just when he hears our kids laughing. Because of this, I would not feel comfortable rehiring him to someone with little kids. He’d be best in a calm, stable environment with someone who is home often (I’ve been a stay at home mom all this time), can walk him and play fetch, who is looking for an adventure buddy! Older, calm kids would be okay. We’re looking for someone who has experience with cattle dogs as they are full of special quirks 😜. He’s a really good dog, just needs a different environment to thrive in.

Story
Oliver found his way into my backyard a little over a year ago during the winter. He was very skinny and scared. I am not sure if he was abused, but it took him about a month before he was brave enough to come up to the patio while we were outside. He got along with my dogs right away. I took him to get checked out and get his shots, the vet said he was about 15 months at the time. He is great with kids, not a fan of our cat, and is kennel trained. He has only had a couple of accidents in the kennel, mostly when he doesnt want to go out because of storms. I have tried putting a leash on him and he does not like it at all, so I havent pushed it. It has taken him a long time to gain our trust. He will come up to us but I can only pet him for a couple of seconds before he start running around again. When he is inside, he is very calm. He needs a home that can show him lots of attention. Neutered about 6 months ago. He needs a home where he can have lots of attention.
