Story
Conrad is good around older kids and adults. He is an inside dog. He loves his toys and treats. We got him from a breeder and he is 3.5 years old. He is an incredible dog, but he has been recently aggressive at times toward my 6 year old daughter and has bit her once. We are devastated about having to re-home him but it's to the point that my daughter is scared around him.

Story
What do I say about Gus Gus? He is an incredibly sweet, playful cuddle bug. He loves to curl up in a little ball and lay next to you on the couch, he loves his tug toys and bones, he’s a little wary of new people and places but once he warms up to you, he’s incredibly loving. I’ve had Gus since he was 8 weeks old and he is just the kind of dog you want to love on. Unfortunately, Gus and his older brother Rusty are unable to get along and the environment has become very stressful for my family and both dogs. We’ve had both dogs since they were pups and, until about 6 months ago, they were best friends. It breaks my heart to consider re-homing Gus but I am at the point where I just don’t know what to do. We’ve tried several things to see if they could get back to being buddies but have not been successful. My goal is to find Gus the home he deserves. One where he can cuddle up and be loved without anxiety or stress. I think Gus would do best in a home without other dogs.

Meet Rex ! — a bright, confident, pup who’s ready to find his forever family!

He’s incredibly intelligent, always watching his foster for cues, and already knows sit and down. Among his brothers, Rex has naturally taken on the role of leader, guiding them with calm confidence.

Meet Scout 🐾 – A big laid-back pup !

Thankfully, a kind couple took them in and gave them safety, care, and a chance at a better life. Now Scout is ready for the next chapter—a forever home of his very own.
