Story
This is Onyx. He is 3 years old. Onyx is a very loving dog. He is a huge cuddle bug and loves blankets. He is also super smart. He loves people and most dogs that he meets. He has a very silly personality and is a high energy dog. He is just not getting what he needs from us and we do not have access to a place for him to run and play freely. We can tell he would benefit more with someone who can be more attentive and active. We only want what is best for Onyx. He is leash trained but does tend to get excited and pull at times. He hasn't been around kids but loves people. He knows some basic commands. Would do best with someone who can work with him and his energy level. He would benefit from a fenced yard for him to play in. He likes other dogs but has a history of resource guarding. We would recommend no other small animals or livestock.

Story
I am a sweet fun, energetic young dog, who loves to run and play. I need a tall fence as I like to jump over my 4 foot fence. I am great with kids, other dogs, and love licking your face. I love one on one time, and enjoy playing. Basketball is my favorite. I only chase cats when no one is looking.

Bella is a great dog just needs lots of jobs to do. Treats work great to get her to obey and do tricks. She will sit, jump, spin around standing up, stand and lay down. She is 5 years old. Just need to find her a home where she can run and maybe work a farm with cattle

Story
Hazel is 6 years old. Have had her since she was 8 weeks old but unfortunately going through a divorce and financial hardships and I am no longer able to afford her care. She is a big lover!! Been raised around kids, kittens, a small dog and a large dog. She is pretty quiet, getting older and loves to lounge around. Although she does enjoy short walks! She loves being outdoors (as long as it’s not raining!) but she LOVES the snow!! When it’s chilly out she loves wearing sweaters… oh who am I kidding she loves sweaters all the time! She is very food motivated. Knows basic commands and very loyal She does have some medical issues she is being treated for. Including allergies (causing skin issues/hair loss)and arthritis. Her monthly meds (ordered from Chewy) cost around $200. I NEED her to go to a loving home. It shatters my heart rehoming her but I can not afford to take care of her due to my circumstances. PLEASE ONLY REACH OUT IF YOU CAN FINANCIALLY AFFORD TO TAKE CARE OF HER!
