Story
Bailey is a brilliant, petite senior with a heart full of fun! A master of basic manners, she has impeccable recall and knows sit, stay, lay down, "go to bed," and potty. She is fully crate, kennel, and house trained. Her ultimate dream is a home where she gets to snuggle up and sleep right in her own bed at night! When she’s not showing off her smarts or courting bedtime cuddles, you can find her splashing in the water or playing her absolute favorite game: fetch. Special Needs/Ideal Home: - Must be the only animal in the home (no dogs or cats). - Great fit for a home with a fenced yard, or an apartment setting with frequent walks and access to a private yard for secure playtime. - Needs a dedicated, private space for eating due to food aggression. - Successfully transitioned off long-term Prozac and now comfortably managed with over-the-counter supplements for mild anxiety. - Looking for a cozy home where she can trade the crate for a spot on the big bed at night. Bailey is ready to bring endless joy, smarts, and fetch-playing fun to a peaceful home where she can be your one-and-only favorite girl!

Story
Brock is an absolute sweetheart with people and a hilariously endearing clutz! He has no idea just how strong or built he is, moving through life like a lovable, goofy wrecking ball. He is also a smart guy who completed 30 days of professional training, responding wonderfully to basic commands like sit, down, and place in calm, non-stressful settings. When he’s not showing off his good manners or making you laugh with his awkward antics, Brock’s two favorite places in the world are hanging out in the great outdoors and sprawling out in bed for maximum cuddle time. Special Needs/Ideal Home: - Must be the sole pet in the home and cannot interact with other animals due to close-range animal aggression. - Not suitable for a first-time pet owner. He requires a confident, handler-savvy owner who can manage his physical strength and handle his animal reactivity. - 30 days of professional training; knows and reliably obeys sit, down, and place when not in stressful situations. - Successfully weaned off high-dose Trazodone and now comfortably uses over-the-counter treatments to help curb his reactivity in common, everyday situations. - Needs to be crated indoors or secured in a sturdy outdoor kennel space whenever left home alone. - Thrives in a routine with plenty of outdoor time followed by cozy indoor bed lounging. Brock is ready to give 100% of his big, affectionate heart to an experienced human who can safely manage his strength and love him for the big, sweet goofball he is!

Story
Quinn is an absolute dream around the house! She boasts impeccable manners and is fully house trained, crate trained, and kennel trained.
