Story
Koda is a 2-year-old, all black German Shepherd. Closely bonded with his adoptive brother, Kai (white shepherd pictured) whom we would love to place in a home with Koda, if possible. He has been with us since he was 2 months old, in the same home as Kai along with two cats whom he gets along with great. He has been around infants and children and does very well, he is house broken, crate trained, and knows many commands (sit, center, wait, L/R spin, etc.) He has never been the aggressor but is reactive when tested by another male dog, shows fear-based aggression with people when fed and caged, but never bites. VERY high energy and anxious. Kai has separate listing with info. They are wonderful dogs who I love deeply with all my heart and soul, it is with a heavy heart that I make this post. Please consider adoption carefully and understand that it requires a lot of time and effort to provide the kind of life he deserves. I hope he can make you as happy as he has made my family and me.

Story
Kai is a 2-year-old, all white, full blood German Shepherd. Closely bonded with his adoptive brother, Koda (black shepherd pictured) whom we would love to place in a home with Kai, if possible. He has been with us since he was 2 months old, in the same home as Koda along with two cats whom he gets along with fantastically. He has been around infants and children and does very well, he is house broken, crate trained, and knows all basic commands (sit, wait, paw, lay down, etc.). He isn't reactive, has never shown aggression, and ultimately has no behavioral issues apart from chewing things up on occasion. Koda is listed for rehoming as well with all of his information. They are wonderful dogs who I love deeply with all my heart and soul, it is with a heavy heart that I make this post. Please consider adoption carefully and understand that it requires a lot of time and effort to provide the kind of life he deserves. I hope he can make you as happy as he has made my family and me.

Story
Danny is currently at the prison for additional training.  He will remain there at least 2 weeks before we will consider an adopter.  He was a previous prison dog and recently returned to us through no fault of his own. Danny is about 50 lbs and will not get any bigger.  He is good with other dogs, partially housetrained (we were told he would tinkle in the house on occasion), loves to play and run.  He needs a fenced in yard or someone willing to stay outside with him otherwise he gets too curious and wanders.  Danny is 18 months old and current on all vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped.   Anyone wishing to meet him must call us to set up an appointment to do so at the prison.  And also complete an application in order to be considered.

Story
GSD/Husky/Lab/Catahoula mixFour year old Dexter W. is a mixture of Labrador, GSD, Husky and Catahoula. His former owner’s parents have recently taken him in and he is just too much dog for them. They describe him as “a fun, smart and energetic companion. He loves to be near us and is a loyal best friend who loves to play.”  They believe he would be best with a family with older children or a family of young adults because of his energy level.  He has never been around cats. Please include your phone number if you would like to hear more about Dexter W. April 16, 2024, 12:44 pm
