Story
Added River bday pic today Feb 2026 with new toy he loved it.I rescued river weighed 4 lb now weighs 71. He will be 2 yrs Feb 8, 2026.really good dog! Unfortunately I got reoccurrence of breast cancer and found out my husband has prostate cancer we are not able to give River the attention he deserves. He’s spoiled and use to being warm in winter cool in summer. I put picture of him laying under fan he loves his fan in the summer. hard to describe what we have set up for him to stay in but it’s very nice even though he’s not in the house. I will take pictures send to whoever is interested so you can see his area he could be in house likes both. I wish my circumstances were different I hate to see him go I want to make sure it’s someone who loves animals and will be good to him not fair to him now I don’t think this is a good life he needs more attention. You can have all his things he has 2 beds too. With a heavy heart this was a hard decision. I hope he gets a great home.

Dotti is a collie, Aussie mix. She is approximately 3/4 years old. She won’t get any bigger than she is and she’s around 20lbs. Very dog selective, does ok with cats. Super sweet girl who loves to be outside running. She gets the zoomies and she’s gone. She also loves to be cuddled up with you while inside. Could she join your adventures?! April 17, 2026, 1:06 pm

Story
She is a working herder. She needs to stay busy and my wife got ill last June and was no longer able to devote time to working with her often. She is a very sweet dog, loves children and loves to roam, run and play hard! Has excellent recall with my wife. She will make an excellent family dog especially one with lots of kids. She traveled with her family for one month all over the West coast last October and she loved the ocean and the hiking trails!
