Story
Josie is such a sweet and loving girl with so much personality. She is very intelligent and eager to learn, but because she is an Australian Shepherd, she has a ton of energy and needs an experienced owner who understands this breed well and is prepared to keep her both physically and mentally stimulated. This is not an easy decision and I want to make sure she goes to someone who will love her deeply and give her the best life possible.

Story
It breaks my heart to do this, but Bjorn deserves a home where he can truly thrive. He's not just a pet; he's a companion who brings so much joy. I've had him for about a year, and he's been an amazing dog. He’s a really nice and warm-hearted dog, and he loves to play and is good with children and other pets. He’s loves to play fetch and cuddle and he’s such a sweetheart. Unfortunately, our circumstances have changed. We simply don't have enough land for him to run and explore, and everyone in the house is constantly busy with work and what not. I feel that he would be much happier with a new family who can give him the time and attention he deserves. This decision hasn't been easy, but I know it's the right one for Bjorn. I'm hoping to find a loving home for him where he can continue to be the happy, playful, and affectionate dog that he is.

Story
Marcus was born April 29, 2024. Both of his siblings came out with bright blue eyes like his. He is Labrador Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Pit Bull Terrier. He weighs 50lbs, and is about knee height. A bit of a shorty, but lean, dense and very athletic with a touch of clumsiness (but he doesn’t like to be laughed at).We adopted him from a foster on July 19, 2024. He came potty trained at 3 months old…He’s spunky, energetic, and loves attention. Very protective of his person. He has attitude and can be ornery, but he is wicked smart and learns quickly. Someone who is consistent, experienced, and maintains good boundaries; offers love as reward would be perfect. Best to only have one master, possibly two. He gets along with other dogs but challenges. Best as the only dog in the house.He has a sensitive tummy and can be gassy. He has never had much human food. We don’t recommend children or big families.Lovable dog; the epitome of tough on the outside, soft on the inside.

Story
Velaris is a very sweet and affectionate dog, she is 2 years old and has lots of energy but plays well alone with her toys when you are gone and loves to cuddle and relax with you too. Shes been in a home with dogs, cats, and children of all ages. While she usually does well with all her housemates she is needing a home without other animals or small children. She has food aggression with other animals and guards her toys from them as well. She would be happier in a home where she didn’t have to worry about other animals near her stuff. With high reward treats like kongs she can guard them some from people but if separated from it and then taking it she is fine. She is nervous with new people but warms up quick with treats. She is very well trained and has worked with a professional trainer. She loves to play fetch and soccer, she goes crazy over balls and stuffed toys but the stuffies don’t usually last long. Preferably a home where there isn’t constantly changes and new people.

Story
Adoption fee is negotiable for those who are experienced with working dogs. I am getting his shots and neutering within 2 wks.Blue is 7-8 months, and been with me for 6 weeks after a family member surrendered. He is house trained, kennel trained, socialized and some extra tricks. He is, VERY smart and extremely agile with long lasting and insane energy. He will self soothe happily in a kennel (with a chew bone) for several hours at a time, but looks forward to a long reward of play afterwards. I would prefer he has a great life doing what he was bred for and has some sort of farm or ranch with a job to do, because he's very eager to please and more eager to work than any dog I've ever met. He is looking for a patient and high energy family who will give him a job doing farm work or agility courses with plenty of long runs. He likes to chase my cats (sometimes) but not every time and we've been working on that and can be nervous around new people
