Zoey is the best dog out there. She’s smart, fun, and energetic. She loves all people and other dogs. Zoey needs more stimulation and space than we can provide. We are looking for someone who has land so she can run free all day. She needs a lot of mental and physical stimulation and has destructive behaviors when not stimulated enough.

Story

Linus is a sweet dog. He loves to to play fetch and understands basic commands such as sit, wait, lay down, and heel. He is very high energy and with the birth of a fifth child, we have come to admit that we’re simply unable to give him the excercise and attention he deserves. Without an outlet for his energy, he has been hyper inside and difficult to leave outside of his crate. He a year and half, and we’ve read that sheepadoodles tend to settle down around two years. We had hoped getting neutered would help, but again, he ultimately needs the excercise his breeding demands. We will sincerely miss him, but know he deserves more. Thank you for your consideration!

Watson

Golden Retriever

Male, 4 yrs 6 mos

Waunakee, WI

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Watson is an intelligent, driven dog who thrives on structure, consistency, and engagement. He does best with clear expectations and regular mental and physical stimulation. In situations where he feels unsure or under-stimulated, he may become overstimulated and attempt to control his environment by lunging. While this can look intense, Watson responds extremely well to direction and de-escalates quickly when asked to perform a command. Watson kennels very well and finds calm, gentle kennel time helpful for settling his energy. He sleeps in his kennel overnight and is crated when left alone, which he has done successfully for up to three hours. Watson loves other dogs and has consistently gotten along with every dog he has met, including a wide variety of breeds and sizes—from large mastiffs to a 5-pound chihuahua. All interactions so far have been with spayed/neutered dogs. He especially enjoys off-leash play and pack walks but also does well on leash. He is very people-friendly and typically appropriate with greetings and interactions, aside from the overstimulation moments described above. He is eager to please and enjoys working with his handler. Watson requires an above-average amount of mental stimulation and truly enjoys learning. His command set is solid, including: Sit, Down, Place, Look, Touch, Front, Finish, and Heel, and he requires minimal treat reinforcement. He also loves enrichment activities such as hide-and-seek games and treat-finding (snuffling). Impulse control remains an area for continued training, particularly around distractions. While his lunging behavior can appear aggressive, it is rooted in overstimulation rather than intent, and he is able to calm himself with guidance, commands, and treats. Continued training and gradual exposure to outside distractions will help him succeed. Watson has had limited exposure to cats and has shown only mild interest. He does not get on furniture currently but would likely enjoy couch time if allowed. In summary, Watson is: Highly intelligent and eager to please Very social with other dogs High energy and thrives with structured outlets Best suited for an active home committed to ongoing training A dog who will shine with consistency, enrichment, and leadership Watson will do best in a home that understands his need for engagement and is excited to continue his training journey. With the right match, he has the potential to be an incredibly rewarding and loyal companion.

Story

I am a fun loving, goofy girl. I'm so happy, I wiggle when I walk! My last person didn't want me anymore and now I crave that special person who will love me as much as I love them. My biggest pleasure in life is to make you happy and laugh. I might look like a stiff wind is hitting me from the side, but it only adds to my silly, quirky personality. I haven't met a person yet that I don't like. In fact, I LOVE everybody. I'm great at cuddles too and I'm so good at being calm and respectful, just give me a few minutes to get over my eagerness to meet you. I work really hard at greeting you with a sit, but sometimes I'm so HAPPY to meet you I might forget my manners and jump, but I quickly stop when you remind me. I'm very good in my crate and I'm house trained. I promise to adore you for the rest of my life. I love playing ball like it is my middle name. Would you like to be my forever person?.
