Meet Wendy! She is our 6 year old labradoodle. She is fantastic with children and other dogs. She needs a new home since she has a high prey drive and we have a small hobby farm. She has been an outdoor dog but would do great transferring to indoors. No cats or smaller prey animals like chickens etc. She is not spayed.

Emma is 7 months old, she is full of energy, she is a funny dog. Loves to go on walks and just be outside when it is nice. She is a cuddle bug she will cuddle up next to you on your bed and go right to sleep. She is a mini bully. We would love nothing more than to keep her but our pocket bully does not get alone with her. She would make some very happy.

Story
Lotus was rescued in Colorado almost 9 years ago. We believe she was abandoned by her previous owners. She will be 10 in November. She is the sweetest dog in the world. She is loyal, great with kids, with lots of energy. She has severe separation anxiety and is not able to be outside without a fenced yard (even fences don’t always keep her in). Unfortunately, we have to rehome her as she gets out frequently (we do not have a fenced yard) and will get neighbors animals (chickens mostly). This was a terribly hard decision for us to make and we just want to find her a good home.

Story
This is Goose. He is so sweet and cuddly. He will want to be with you all day. We are rehoming because we have moved in employee housing where he has no yard and needs more exercise and time. He could use some socializing. He is very anxious around people but quickly warms up. He is very anxious around other dogs, he hasnt had much interaction with other dogs. He could use more training on a leash. He is vaccinated, neutered, and very well potty trained. He has lived with cats and kids. He will truly be a great addition to the right family.

Duck is the sweetest most cuddly dog. She will want to be with you all day. She will want to share the seat on the couch with you. She has a unique and beautiful personality. We are rehoming because we have moved into employee housing and she has no yard and she needs more time. She does have separation anxiety issues. She will do a high pitched howling when left alone.She is a great walker. She walks right by me and she is usually fine with other dogs and people. She has lived with kids her whole life and used to live with cats.

Story
Looking for a loving home for this sweet boy. He was my uncles but some unseen circumstances came up and he could not keep him so we ended up with him. We already have a dog and a few cats so it just hard for us to keep him with also having a busy schedule. He’s gentle, affectionate, and great with other dogs, cats, and kids. He does have some anxiety, so he needs a patient family who can give him a calm, reassuring environment. With the right home, he is an incredibly loyal and loving companion. He loves to cuddle under the covers and go on walks. If you are interested in meeting him or want to know more, please reach out.
