Story
Luna is a 2 yr old German Shepherd/Husky mix and is a great dog. We’ve seen some aggressiveness towards farm animals/small animals and can’t have her due to these issues. Highly recommended that she is an only animal in the house. She loves walks and is very playful otherwise. Also up to date on vaccines.

Story
We adopted Ash from our local animal shelter two years ago, and he's been a big part of our family ever since. He's now three years old, incredibly friendly, affectionate, and full of energy. He absolutely loves cuddles, attention, and being around people. He's also very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze. He's an incredibly smart dog who picks up on things quickly, especially when treats are involved!Ash would thrive in a home with someone who can match his energy, provide plenty of exercise, and give him the attention and stimulation he needs. He would be happiest with an active person or family who has the time and space to let him burn off some of that enthusiasm.This is a genuinely difficult decision for our family. The only reason we're looking for a new home for Ash is that we've welcomed a new baby, and his high energy level has become difficult to manage alongside the demands of caring for an infant.

Story
🐾 **Meet Eli!** ❤️ Eli is a 60 lb Labrador Retriever/Belgian Shepherd mix born on June 13, 2024. We adopted him from a shelter when he was just 2 months old! He's an energetic, treat-loving boy who may take time to warm up to new people, but treats, patience, and a calm approach help earn his trust. 🦴 🍽️ **Feeding:** 1½ cups of dog food twice daily. 🚽 **Potty breaks:** 2–3 times daily. 🚶 **Walks:** He enjoys 15–20 minute walks. ❤️ **Favorites:** Belly rubs, treats, and chewing on his bone toy! Eli can be reactive around unfamiliar people and dogs, so please give him space and handle him attentively. Walks help him burn energy and become much calmer. He has no known bite history. With consistency, patience, and love, Eli can feel safe, comfortable, and happy. 🐶💕
