Story
Buddy is sweet boy who just turned 7 years old and has had a bumpy transition from is mommy's home into my foster care. His mom had to go to the hospital in January and unfortunately, has not come home yet. She will not be able to care for him when/if she gets to go home. He is great with other dogs and loves to chew on toys and play fetch. He loves to lay in your lap in the evening when it's TV time. He is crate trained and is comfortable staying in his crate for several hours when I have to work. He has finally gotten comfortable going out in the backyard without someone staying with him because he was used to being walked on a leash to go potty. Some bad behaviors he has is that he is obsessed with tissues and will try to eat them. He will also chew on socks and get into small trash cans. He has had accidents in the house, but is getting better.

Story
Indie (also known as Bean), is almost 5 years old. She was born 7/7/2021. My wife and I adopted her when she was 2 months old. Indie is a great dog for experienced dog owners. She is very protective of certain things (her crate, food, and random objects she decides to protect). She can also be nippy at times and barks loudly at the mailman. These traits are typical for her breed, this being the reason we would recommend an experienced dog owner(s). We have very much enjoyed Indie and we have debated on rehoming her for some time. With a toddler and infant in the house, we would like for someone to be able to give Indie more attention than we can offer at times. Indie is normally very well behaved and is a very active dog who loves to throw a stick or frisbee. She walks good on a harness and comes when she is called. She has never chewed or damaged anything in the house. She also loves to ride in the car. We would be happy to find someone experienced in ACD’s to give Indie a great home

Ollie is a good boy, loves chest rubs and right behind the ear. Loves to run as fast as his short legs will take him, which isnt very far or fast. I am rehoming him due to no fault of his own. I work alot and I dont have the time to give him what he deserves.

Story
Bentley is a 1 1/2 year old puggle born September 12th, 2024. He is about 30 pounds, but he's very active. He's got a lot of energy, but he needs an owner who is more experienced with active dogs. He's never bitten anyone, but he does bark at people or loud noises. We've tried taking him to puppy classes to get him somewhat under control, but we don't have a lot of time to keep up with him, and so he only knows basic commands and doesn't listen sometimes. He'd be better off with someone who has a lot of time or can put some time into helping him with his high energy levels and playfulness.
