Story
Kratos was a birthday gift to me when he was a puppy. He is now about 6 years old. Im hoping to find a good home for him. He has a lot of energy and needs someone to work with him. I just moved to Wisconsin and had a baby. Hes always been good with her and all other with littles and people since I got him. He’s iffy with cats. But other dogs are fine. He is protective of the home but NEVER violent. You could probably bark back and he’d back down. He’s a bit of a wuss but he’s the most loyal sweet boy. I don’t have time to run him or just get out his energy like I used to. I hope to find someone to take care of him the way he deserves. He struggles with attachment to me here and there as well but he’s harmless

Story
Mikko is like “Buddy” the elf. He loves life and is a noble companion. We’re seeking a new home for him simply because we’ve started growing our family and aren’t able to give him the love and attention he deserves. He can be skittish at night and when he’s scared he may show his teeth. He is kennel trained and barks occasionally. If left outside for too long he tends to let his curiosity get the best of him and wonder. He loves the snow and the water. He loves people and is good with children. He is trained not to jump on people or furniture. He has a pretty strong stomach. Except for when he goes too long without eating, then he’ll throw up his stomach bile. This is very rare. He has a training collar. He has been leash trained, but since we live more out in the country he hasn’t had to use one in a long time. However he is good at staying near off leash with gentle reminders from the training collar. He can struggle with male or “alpha” dogs, but eventually warms up.

COMING SOON/ NEEDS FOSTER: II'm a sweet, happy, fairly easy going girl. I love to play and cuddle with my brother, Eddie. I love cuddles and like to be carried or held.

I loves the water and will take baths with no issues but will try to run off when it's nail trim time. I'm housetrained and crate trained.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 17, 2026, 2:40 pm

Story
2.12.26 PUPDATE (written by current foster) Millie is a 6 1/2 year old boxer lab mix with a full tail. She came from a family life and had lived indoors. She likes attention and neck scratches. She may have a torn ACL on her back right leg but has been using it a little with pain medication in place. She has a sweet personality and could be a great only dog. With our boxer, Ester, she likes following Ester’s lead but needed a couple of gentle reminders of her place in the pack. She does well with the commands sit and come when food is involved. . We have tried out a couple of different leashes on her and she stays close on yard walks. We haven’t tried any actual walks around the block due to her leg. She will need rehab for her leg withborc without surgery. We're waiting to hear back fromthe surgeon on her options. INTAKE 1.26.26 (written by previous owner) This is Miss Millie. A 6 1/2 year old Boxer, Lab mixed breed that was born on June 5, 2019. She is a very shy girl who takes a couple of visits to warm up to new people in places but she is super sweet and loves attention. She has always done well with other animals and children. Millie is not aggressive but tends to get very excited and a little jealous, letting you know vocally by crying and whining that she sees others getting the attention that she wants. She is also a bit protective over her food dish. Overall, Millie is a very good girl who just needs some extra love and care due to an injury of a major tendon in her back leg. She had always lived in a home with a fenced in yard so had not had much exposure to being on a leash or outside of her own territory, making her leash skills and listening to command skills not very good but she is super smart so could learn these skills easily. We just hope Millie finds the right home that can take care of her like she deserves.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 20, 2026, 9:10 pm
