Story
We have raised our dog Bear from a puppy. He is a purebred AKC rottweiler. He needs a home with space and a yard and needs to be walked several times a day. He is ok with most dogs but can be leash reactive. He has been raised around a cat. He is good with people. He is very big and strong and needs someone who has experience with large breeds.

Story
Akira is a 2yrs old and will be turning 3 yrs old in August 2026. She was left with me and I have tried to rehome her before. She is a great dog will be good with kids. She is lovable and will need to sleep with you and will do good in a home that has someone home and can spend time with her. She is house trained but will have occasional accidents if left home for long periods of time.I am moving by the end of the summer and I need to find a great home for her before then she is also great with cats as well. She does have separation anxiety but we have been working on that with her she is better but that may change if she adopted since we are the only family she knows. Akira will need someone who is patient with her Akira is really smart and does some tricks I will post a video of her soon. Please consider her she will make a great addition to your family.

Story
I rescued Bartholomew 4 months ago from a shelter he was at for over a year. He was abandoned overnight tied to a pole. He doesn’t do well in the shelter environment, is afraid of shadows, has slight toy and food aggression due to his time there. He has been absolutely thriving in the home environment though. He loves to play fetch, go on walks and hikes, and is even a great snuggler! He responds well to commands such as sit, stay, come, heel, and down. He does not do well with children and as I have 3 I unfortunately cannot keep him. I just want him to find a good home and try to keep him out of the shelter.
