Meet Jameson! This loyal Aussie/Mini Aussie mix is a loving companion who enjoys walks, cuddles, and roaming indoors. He’s house and crate trained and finds comfort in his crate. Jameson is protective of his family and can be hit or miss with new people and dogs—sometimes he’s friendly, other times he prefers his space. He may experience anxiety when left alone but does well in a structured environment. If you’re looking for a devoted dog who just needs a little patience and understanding, Jameson could be the perfect match!🐾

Story
Kristi is a Australian Shepherd Mix. Her estimated date of birth is 8/20/2015 and she weighs 40 lbs. She is up to date on all of her shots and she is fixed. Kristi is OK with people that she knows but is not good with new people. She is better suited for a home that has no cats, no kids or other dogs or small animals.  Kristi does like to vocalize and would be best in a house as she needs a lot of space to run around. Kristi is not good alone and does need someone she can trust to be her side most of the time. Kristi requires a very special diet and does not tolerate prepackaged dog food well. She has some minor skin issues that do require weekly medication.  She has a very high energy level and would require exercise on a daily basis for at least 1 hour otherwise she has the tendency to be destructive to items.  Kristi does have some issues on a a leash and has a small problem with marking in homes.We do not have a central location to see our dogs.  Meeting any dog is by appointment ONLY currently.

Story
Milo is a 5 year old, 60lb fun loving Australian Kelpie who loves to play hard just as much as he likes to cuddle. Milo is an excellent runner, hiker, swimmer and adventure enthusiast. He is trained very well and can sit, stay, heel, lay down, and shake all by verbal command. He never needs a leash, (but always has one in public) due to his ability to listen phenomenally well and follow verbal commands. He is incredibly intelligent and loves puzzles and long walks on the beach. He would make a great addition to any family with a medium to large yard where he can run and fetch everyday. His dream home would be a ranch or at least some acreage that he can roam and protect. Milo needs a home with no small children aged newborn to approx 8 years of age. He does need a committed owner who wants to play with him, snuggle him and teach him new things. He is a fast learner and could easily be an agility champion. Milo will come with toys, harness, collar, crate and many other items.
