Story
We got him from a local breeder when he was 8 weeks old. Over time he has gotten aggressive with our kids. He would do better with a single person home. He has food aggression. Fully house broken and can be friendly and affectionate. He likes his personal space. Over time he's gotten progressively aggressive with the kids and it has come to the point where we no longer trust his reactions when we’re not in the room. This has been a very difficult decision for our family as he has been a loved member, we are looking to find him a good home where he can be happy the rest of his life.

Story
Lady is looking for her forever home. She has been bounced back and forth too much in her short life, and I really want to find the right person who will give her the love, attention, and stability she deserves. My granddad took her in after she was found during an ice storm, but unfortunately, he just doesn’t have enough time to work with her or give her the attention she needs. I believe she has some separation anxiety, so she would do best with someone who has plenty of time for her. Lady is around 2 years old, crate trained, very smart, and incredibly sweet. She is energetic and does jump up on people, but she just wants to love on everyone and be as close and cuddly as possible. She pulls a little on a leash but does pretty well for me. She is wonderful with kids and can be protective of them. She absolutely LOVES car rides—if you open a car door near her, she is ready to jump in! She loves to just lay in the passenger seat and ride wherever you go!

Story
Meet Our Gentle Giant! Looking for a loyal best friend who will be devoted to her people? This beautiful 5-year-old Rottweiler/Shepherd mix is searching for a patient family to call her own. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccines. At around 100 pounds, she's a big girl with an even bigger heart! While she can be nervous around new people and will need a couple of meet-and-greets to feel comfortable, once you earn her trust you'll discover the sweetest love bug who just wants to be close to her people. She enjoys car rides and would love a family that includes her in life's adventures. Because she takes time to warm up, we ask that the entire family come to meet her to make sure everyone is comfortable and it's the right fit. She has had multiple litters in the past, and now it's finally her turn to be the one who is loved, spoiled, and cherished. She is unsure about cats, so extremely slow and patient introductions would be essential. She is also unsure with other dogs, and a dog test will be required if there is another dog in the home. If you have a little patience and a lot of love to give, this sweet girl will reward you with unwavering loyalty and endless affection. Could you be the family she's been waiting for?Interested in adopting?

Story
Meet Albert! If you're looking for a happy-go-lucky best friend, Albert might just be your perfect match! Albert is around 2 years old, weighs approximately 65 pounds, and is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccines. This handsome guy is full of love, has wonderful manners, and is always ready for his next adventure. Albert loves his toys, enjoys going for walkies, and is easy on the leash, making him a great companion whether you're exploring the neighborhood or relaxing at home. His sweet personality shines through everywhere he goes! We believe Albert will do well with children, but we ask that the entire family come to meet him to make sure everyone is comfortable and it's the perfect match. We are still getting to know how Albert feels about other dogs, so a dog test will be required for any potential canine siblings. We are unsure how he does with cats, so super slow and patient introductions will be important if there are cats in the home. Albert is ready to trade shelter life for a family of his own. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and fun companion, come meet this sweet boy—you might just fall in love! ?? Please contact us if you'd like to schedule a meet-and-greet with Albert!Interested in adopting?
