Story
Noodle was a surprise foster dog for me, my first ever! He currently stays with me & my 2 other dogs & 4 cats. He sometimes annoys my cats so I would suggest a home with cats familiar with dogs. He loves to play in my fenced yard with toys, bubbles, the garden hose & his new favorite toy a jolly ball. He plays by himself very well. His previous home wasn't full of love or consistency. Noodle faced times of being kenneled 24/7 with no food & was treated unkindly by everyone, including kids at times when he was kenneled. He would potentially do fine in a home with older kids that can understand boundaries & be respectful of space. He's made leaps & bounds in my care & has been with me since Mid September. I now feel confident that he's ready for his forever home. He does fine in his kennel now & knows some several commands. Our local community loves him online & sponsored $100 of his $150 adoption fee. He has a basket full of his favorite toys & treats ready to take him with him.

Story
We rescued Rocky. We found him malnourished and all skin and bones. Since then we have been feeding him a good diet and we’re already seeing improvement. However, Rocky is not good with kids. He has not bitten but just looks I uncomfortable around him but that may just need time. Rocky is a little bit aggressive when it comes to food but that shouldny be a problem after some proper training due to the fact his previous owners didn’t feed him or take care of him right. He has an amazing character. Loves baths, doesn’t mind the groomer, and loves the snow!! I’m completely heartbroken to have to find him a good home. However my nieces and nephews come over on the regular and I don’t feel comfortable with him being around them. He has so much potential just needs someone to put that time in for him.

Story
Manny was born July 17, 2024. We adopted him the end of September 2024. He is a pure breed German Shepherd, current on all vaccines and currently still intact. Manny lives with 6 kids, two dogs and three cats. He believes he is a small dog I think, he was raised with two little dogs who still intimidate him even though they are a fraction of his size now. I believe he has fear aggression and lacks confidence. I am not an experienced dog trainer and with 6 kids I never will be. I cannot take him anywhere without a muzzle and we cannot have anyone to our home without locking him up. This brakes my heart. He is so kind, and goofy with us, but the minute he sees a stranger instant fear, retreat but also real aggression. He needs someone who can help him build confidence, teach him to not be afraid, that people just want to play with him. He is incredibly smart and still young so there is hope! If I had the time and the money I would do it, I just do not. Someone please help Manny.

Story
Charli 9 mos ,german shepherd mix, very puppy. She is very sweet & loveable. She will cuddle with you & sleep with you to keep you warm. Very active , so a home with kids and a active life style would be great. She knows commands & is housebroke. I got her as a rehome . I thought I would be able to keep up with her & have time. But that didnt work out for us. So if you looking for a loving dog she might just be the one. 50.00 rehoming fee.
