Story
Nala is our 5-year-old fur baby, adopted at 6 months. She’s grown up with our other pets, but over the past year we’ve seen troubling behavior: at times she unexpectedly reacts negatively towards the cats and our other dog. It’s heartbreaking to watch her shift between her sweet nature and sudden aggression. She also growls at my kids’ friends and at my elderly father, though she has never bitten anyone. The aggression is sudden and quick. Never lasting more than a minute or two. Then she is back to normal. With our children, Nala is gentle, loving, and snuggly. She walks well on a leash, enjoys relaxing on furniture, and loves spending time in our fenced yard, though she may bark excitedly and jump on adult visitors. She has occasional ear infections. Deciding to part with her is incredibly hard. She’s more than a pet—she’s family. Sadly, we can’t afford the training and support she needs to thrive, and we want the best possible future for her. Willing to work with potential adopters

Story
Meet Mesha 🐾 Mesha is a beautiful German Shepherd/Husky mix 2 years old as of Christmas Eve. She is sweet, affectionate, playful, and full of personality. She loves walks, playtime, chew toys, and being close to the people she trusts. As a young, high-energy working breed mix, Mesha does best with structure, consistency, and regular physical and mental exercise. She enjoys playing with kids and other dogs but can become overly excited, so supervision and clear boundaries are important. She is still learning impulse control and benefits from redirection, especially with her love of chewing. Mesha has a strong prey drive and is not suitable for a home with cats or small animals. She can be cautious with new people and vocal with unfamiliar dogs. Mesha would thrive in an experienced, active home committed to continued training. A home with dog-savvy adults and older children preferred.

Story
Meet Remi! He is a 5 yr old Pure GSD. We rescued him from an abusive home a year and a half ago, but it was only ever supposed to be a foster situation until we could find him a home. Now we have a baby on the way and he just really needs a place to be where he can run outside and have a good yard to play in. He is very smart and is wonderful with people and other dogs. Extremely good with kids, very patient and has never shown any aggression towards anyone. When we got him his legs were bare and bleeding because whilst he was left alone for weeks at a time, his anxiety caused him to chew on his legs. We have been doing our best to restore him to his former glory. He absolutely loves love and will constantly want pets and belly scratches. He is a very good boy, but our time with him has to come to an end unfortunately. I'm really hopeful one of you lovely people will want to help this sweet boy out! Thank you for reading!
