Story
Lefty is almost 2, born on a farm. We adopted him in February 2026 from a family with young children & 4 French bulldogs, one of whom bullied him. No jumping; still working on no mouthing. Walks well with guidance. He's brilliant, quick-learning, & loves problem-solving. He loves kids, cats, 2–3-mile walks, dog playdates & watching farm animals (especially horses). He sometimes gently nibbles cats as if grooming them (our cat enjoys it). He needs daily mental stimulation & interactive play: tug-of-war, tag, digging, or swimming. He's not a fetch fan. He's a heavy chewer who loves rocks (SUPERVISE CLOSELY!), sticks, recyclables, & squeaky toys, which he quickly destroys. He's social & seeks frequent attention. He's vocal when he wants something, persistent about affection, competes with devices for attention and is a "night owl". We can't keep him because we live beside 50–70 mph traffic, and he can escape standard fences. We want him to have a safe environment where he can thrive.

When she gets really excited or scared, she sometimes piddles a little. We're looking for someone who will make her part of the family and give her the exercise and attention she needs.💰 Rehoming fee: $150

Story
Hi, this is Sky, she is a beautiful lab/heeler mix with such a warmness to her. This is the most difficult decision I have ever had to make but life changes have forced me to live in a much smaller home environment and health issues are not allowing me to give her the space to play outside or the daily walks she truly needs and deserves. Would love to have Sky find a home with a good size yard or farm! Please let me know if you have any questions. Sky is 7 years old and we've hand her since she was 8 weeks old. Up to date on all shots etc..

Story
Marley is an almost 5 year old giant. He is very sweet, loves people, and other dogs. Marley came to me as a puppy, under mysterious circumstances. My husband at the time told me we were dog sitting for a friend while they moved, but that was a lie! He got Marley somewhere and then brought him home. I did not realize how large he was going to become, or what a challenge training him would be. Marley needs a new home because I am not home enough for him. He has plenty of room to run outside on my acre of property, but he needs more attention than I can give him. Because of his size and his smarts, he has learned to open cabinets and counter surf. His favorite foods are dairy products, specifically butter and cheese, and he goes to great lengths to acquire them. He has grown up with several other dogs and gets along well with them. My small weiner dog mix is the boss of him. Because of that, he also thinks he is a lap dog and enjoys a good snuggle.

Hank is friendly, energetic, and loyal! He is a beautiful mix of German Shepherd, Labrador, and Swiss Shepherd. He has a loving personality, enjoys companionship, and has never harmed anyone or any other animal. He needs a home with more attention, space to play, and a family who can give him the love and care he deserves. Looking for a loving forever home where he can thrive!

Story
-Bruno is a 4 year old male GSD, he is a gentle giant and a little air headed at times. He enjoys running and fetching but shows little initiative for it, only if his sister Alaska plays, then he will play fetch too. He is neutered but has sired a litter before, this does not seem to have impacted his physical well-being. -Bruno seems to be more easy going, I am sure if he could lounge on a couch all day he would. He is also fiercely loyal and attentive, always at your hip if you get up and move around. His manners can be built upon, meaning he will listen to commands only after being told two or three more times (we try to encourage say-it-once and reinforcement but it doesn’t always work), but he is still young so I believe he can still learn commands. He is also bilingual, he understands commands in Spanish and in English. -His reactivity is fairly low, only chasing squirrels in the yard when given the chance. Peep the blurry images of this guy!
