Spanky is such a sweet dog. He is great with kids. Mine wrestle with him and everything he has never growled. High energy dog. He is house and crate trained. Also trained on an invisible fence. Does great on car rides also. Our obstacle has been he cannot be left alone for long periods of time. We both work. He chews and will tear out of a kennel. I can't keep him in a crate all Day. I know he will be unhappy. We are looking for a family who has a little more time and possibly fenced in yard

Story
Atreyu, “Trey” as we call him is a big approximately 3 yr old, lovable goofball. He’s quick to learn, loves to go on an adventure, and would love to be someone’s whole world. Trey would thrive in a home that is capable of providing structure & the enrichment to keep his mind busy. He’s not a couch potato & would love an owner that will take him on adventures or dabble in sports with him. He would also make a great farm dog (he’s great with my chickens). He has great ball drive, high food drive, low prey drive, and medium energy. Currently working on leash manners (have greatly improved already), basic OB, starts of scent work. Has not been officially cat tested, but can be. Gets along with most dogs, but I feel he’d prefer being an only dog as he loves his one on one attention. I wouldn’t recommend him for homes with small children. He is kid friendly, but a fairly large dog at 60 lbs & not always super body aware Dog’s location: Liberty, SC ************************ Atreyu is located in a foster home. We are happy to coordinate a meet & greet for pre-approved adopters. To get started, please submit an adoption application at https://bit.ly/JLRadopt

Story
Bear is 9 years old. We took him in about 4 months ago but due to my one year old son being allergic we are having to rehome the sweet guy. He is so gentle and sweet. He will talk back to you and greet you at the door after a long day at work. He is so smart and will talk back with you especially if he has to go potty. He gives you kisses, hand shakes, cuddles and hugs. He also loves to catch a frisbee or ball but can also be one sleepy lazy guy. He will always do what you want to do as long as he is your best friend.
