Story
My husband and I saw this dog on Facebook. Somebody needed him rehomed. They were moving and could not take him with them. I love dogs, we love Shepards and Huskys and decided to give it a try. We brought him into our home and our 13-year-old Poodle/Shih tzu mix HATED him. Ivar, the Shepsky, keeps 'attacking' Rocket, the Poodle/Shih tzu. Unfortunately, it is hurting Rocket and scaring him to the point that he will not come out of my bedroom. We have tried training him ourselves, but it is not working. My husband and I work long hours, so Ivar has to be caged while we are at work, which is not fair to him. Overall, he is a super sweet, energetic dog. I'd love to be able to find him a new home. The ideal new owner would be able to take him lots of walks, play with him and get him active.

Story
Gwen – The Right Dog, Waiting for the Right Home Gwen is a genuinely good dog—she just needs the right environment to prove it. She’s the kind of dog that doesn’t demand attention. She watches, she learns, and when she feels safe, she gives you everything. Gwen is soft, affectionate, and naturally handler-oriented. Once she decompresses, she becomes deeply connected—following you from room to room, settling at your feet, and choosing you every time. And here’s the part that matters—Gwen already has a foundation. She is crate trained, has solid house manners, understands basic 7 commands and walks on leash with no pulling. She understands structure. She responds to leadership. She is not a project dog. But she is a sensitive dog. In a calm, structured environment, Gwen relaxes, opens up, and becomes an incredibly easy, rewarding companion. In high-energy, unpredictable environments—especially with younger children—she can become overwhelmed and unsure. Not reactive without reason, not unstable—just honest about her limits. Gwen will only be placed in a home with children 10 years or older. She communicates appropriately. She tries to create space. She looks for guidance. That’s not a flaw. That’s a dog asking for clarity. Gwen doesn’t need to be fixed—she needs to be placed correctly. In the right home, you’re not getting a “maybe” dog. You’re getting: A dog with a solid foundation A dog that walks well, settles well, and lives well A dog that will bond deeply and stay loyal A dog that loves and thrives with other dogs of all ages She has also shown neutral curiosity around cats with no clear prey drive, and with proper structure and introductions, may be able to coexist. Gwen is for someone who values connection over chaos. Someone who understands that the best dogs aren’t always the loudest—they’re the ones who quietly become everything. She’s ready. She’s just waiting for someone to meet her where she is—and give her the life she’s been trying to step into.
