Story
Voight is an extremely intelligent, empathic, and loving dog. He has a ton of strength and energy and needs and owner that is strong enough to handle him and up for adventures. He has graduated from extensive obedience training and is trained on hand signals. He currently lives with an elderly French bulldog and he is extremely tolerant of her and shows no signs of dog aggression. He seems to love all people and loves to learn up against you while you pet him or place his head in your lap. He needs a new home because he has a high prey drive for squirrels and pulls very hard on the leash when he sees one and his elderly owner is unable to handle him when this happens. His prey drive also seems to extend to cats so it is STRONGLY recommended that he only be adopted by a cat free household. He loves people and children but tends to accidentally knock small children oven when excited so older kids may be a better fit. A fenced in yard to run would be a big benefit.

Story
Roxy is a 5 year old female German shepherd. I got her 5 years ago, not knowing the maintenance I would have to keep up with on her. I am looking to re-home her to a good, loving family. She is a really good dog but I nor my family can keep up with the maintenance of her & we do not have much time for her. She is very smart, she learns fast & is very active. She has somewhat been around dogs for the past few years & she’s more friendly with male dogs than female dogs. She is house trained & very protective. She really is a good dog but it is unfair to her for us to keep her & not take care of her the way we’re supposed to & that is why we’re looking to re-home her.

Story
Rocket, that’s the name he was given when me and my brother got him as a puppy. he is an amazing dog and such a good boy. he loves to play catch & only got to learn, sit, drop (ball) he’s a good listener. we got him on may15,2023 so he’ll be a year next month. we love him we do but the timing wasn’t right no matter how much we tried. He is a handful and we weren’t ready to give him 100% of our attention due to work and already had a smaller dog and a cat which they didn’t really get along. he’s never bit anyone but he’s always been very territorial on his toys. he would growl but never in a hurtful way and is always so happy to be outside and will jump so high to catch his toys. he never got used to having a bed because he would always rip the beds or anything with stuffing in it. It would be ideal for him to find a better home then what we could have given him by someone who able to spend more time with him or have another dog with the same build to play with so he wouldn’t be alone.
