Story
We adopted Colette and one of her sisters from a local farmer who's Great Pyranees had a litter of 12 puppies. Colette is 6 months old and has been good with people, and has been good with our goats too. Just a couple days ago, she viciously attacked her sister drawing blood from her leg and throat and was very difficult to get to stop. This could be a one-time thing, but we aren't going to wait to find out. We have many animals and young children and won't have her around them. We want to find her a new home where she can get the training needed to not have this happen again since she has been a very sweet (big) dog until now.

Story
I’m looking for a better long‑term fit for my husky, Willow. She is a 6 year old husky. I adopted her about five years ago from a friend who was struggling with food‑related aggression around their young children. Since then, Willow has been a loving, important part of my life. She’s sweet, affectionate, playful, and full of personality. She loves walks, hikes, exploring new places, and running off‑leash on our property. She’s kennel‑trained, well‑mannered in the house, and generally quiet unless she’s excited or “talking.” Willow’s challenge is living with other dogs. I have two senior dogs (10 and 11), and despite careful management, Willow shows aggression toward them—especially around food or attention. While she has never caused serious injury, the ongoing stress isn’t fair to any of them. Willow truly needs to be the only pet in the home. I love her deeply, but my priority is finding her a calm, stable home where she can thrive as the sole focus and companion.

Story
Hi, I'm Rosie! 🐾Seven months ago, I found my foster home after leaving my elderly owners, who couldn't take care of me anymore. I've been safe and loved ever since — and now I'm ready for my forever family.I'm a 65-lb Great American Mutt with a big heart. I'm smart, loyal, house-trained, leash-trained, and a great listener. I take my daily walks very seriously, so I hope my new person likes to get outside — I'll be your most enthusiastic adventure buddy!I'm also naturally watchful and alert — think devoted companion AND built-in security system.Why am I looking for a new home? Honestly, it's not me — it's the other dogs. My foster family has two resident pups, and despite everyone's best efforts, we just don't click. I wasn't around other pets much when I was young, and I'd rather not share my space. I'm a "one and only" kind of girl!If you're looking for a faithful sidekick, reach out — I promise I'm worth it. 🐶

Story
We’ve had Lou since she was 3 months old. We adopted her from a shelter in Moab, Utah and she has been a great dog. She is mild-mannered and affectionate with her people. She is obedient and has never chewed any shoes or furniture, and is potty-trained. She responds well to commands, and is her best self off leash getting to roam trails, always coming back when called. She’d be a great companion if you like hiking and backpacking. We’ve taken her to the dog park 2-3x a week since she was a pup. She is friendly with other dogs. Always done well in boarding and staying with families with other dogs. We love her, but being a young family on the move, bringing her along is now too difficult for us. The right new home for Lou would be one where she has a yard to roam, and a loving family to provide stability for her to be her normal sweet self.

Story
Denali is an amazing friendly girl. She loves cuddles and attention. She isn’t generally a fan of the outside world but loves the backyard or will enjoy the park on occasion. She would prefer a home without men and would love someone who works from home or has a schedule that allows them to spend lots of time with her.
