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. He has an environmental allergy that makes him itchy sometimes. We've managed this with a low-dose Prednisone when we see it flare up. Gesso is a good boy but with a new baby and 2 toddlers we just don't have the time to exercise him and give him the attention he needs.

Story
Blaeberry came to us unexpectedly from a friend. After several unsuccessful attempts to return her to her original owner, we stepped in to care for her. Blae is a gentle, sensitive dog with a naturally timid personality. When we later added another dog to our home, it became clear that Blae is happiest as an only dog or in a very carefully managed environment. While both dogs are safe and well cared for, keeping them fully separated has been challenging, and we realized Blae would truly thrive in a home better suited to her needs. Blae is 4 years old and is incredibly sweet once she feels comfortable. She loves cuddles, and relaxing in the sun. She’s very intelligent and observant, though she can be a bit stubborn at times and will benefit from a consistent routine and clear boundaries. This has been a very difficult decision, as we love Blae dearly, but we know she deserves a calm, patient home where she can feel secure and be someone’s special companion. She has so much love to give!

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!
