Story
Milly is a Mini Red Tri Australian Shepherd. We acquired her from a friend who bought her brother in a litter. She is potty trained, and crate trained. Milly is trained to follow you off leash on a hike or a run. She can also follow basic commands. She has been on many trail runs and fishing trips. She's great at playing fetch and loves being outside. Milly will truly be right by your side like a best friend when she warms up to you and get's to know you. She is instinctually a very anxious and nervous dog. Her ideal situation would be a family with no young kids or other dogs or animals. Patience is key when getting to know her. Additionally, a yard would be helpful for her to run around daily. We are saddened to have to make this decision as she has shown a pattern of aggressive behavior towards our 2-year-old son. We have weighed our options and decided she needs a different environment to thrive.

Story
I want to start out with, we love Kiva very much, she’s such a good girl and we are so sad we have to let her go. Kiva is 3 years old, very sweet and loving, and very gentle when taking treats from your hand. She loves to snuggle and play and is crate trained. She’s great with people but cannot be around other animals. She has some allergies and right now she is on a special diet while we try to figure out the cause. We are looking for someone to love her as much as we love her.

He has the sweetest personality!

Guinness is a big, high energy, loving pup. He’s super sweet and super loving. He has lived with other dogs and cats. It does take a moment for him to warm up to other dogs, he was attacked by a dog so he keeps his guard up until he is comfortable with them. He LOVES fetch, he has no stop in him when it comes to fetch. He is just not getting the attention that he really needs and deserves.
