Scout Scout is a little mini baby . He is the opposite of Dakota he likes short walks. He loves attention and love , he just wants to be with you all the time. No bites or aggression , gets along with other dogs but definetly makes him anxious and prefers to be alone.i prefer him to be the only pet in the house. Good with kids . he does get anxious when hes alone so best to crate him, he is crate trained. Very sweet baby boy who just wants all the attention. Ps he is a little blind so he likes to get up close to see your face and usually snorts a little bit too. House trained and kinda knows some commands (hes not the brightest lol)

Story
Meet Dakota! This handsome, scruffy guy is a master of sniffy walks, and would make a good buddy for anyone who likes to explore the great outdoors. He`s on the shyer side of life, and will probably do best in a lower-traffic home without a lot of people coming and going--once he`s warmed up to his people, he`s a silly and very sweet guy, but Dakota often needs time to feel comfortable with new people petting him, so he`d love an adopter who can help be his advocate while he`s out in the world!Dakota briefly lived with a cat in his previous home, and may be able to live with a cat with separation to start. He doesn`t have experience living with another dog, but could potentially go home with a well-matched, mellow dog companion. Dakota doesn`t like sharing his food, so adopters should be ready to manage their environment to help him out when around other animals in the home!Dakota has been through a few transitions recently, and may need a gentle start, but once he feels secure, he`ll reward you with endless love and loyalty!

Story
Bandit is such a sweet guy. He just turned 7 in November 2025. He has let us know he does not like fast movement and little kids. We have three kids and he bite our youngest. He prefers quiet spaces, long naps and would love to sleep in your bed with you or have his dog bed nearby. He was attacked by a coyote when he was less than a year old. Lucky to survive and it left him with a preference for no light unexpected touch on his back ribs. He had an eye infection from birth and the eye meds did not support his comfort so he is now happily the one eyed bandit. He is so sweet and loving. He just needs the right home not a loud busy one with a lot of unexpected movement.
