Story
Rehoming a Beautiful 2-Year-Old Female Central Asian Shepherd It truly breaks my heart to do this, but seeking a new, suitable home for our loyal and protective Central Asian Shepherd. Shes 2 years old, microchipped, spayed, and up-to-date on all her shots. Shes been very spoiled and well cared for, and I have her Embark report verifying her pure bloodline. About Her: Guarding Ability: Shes a natural protector of property and livestock. Shes exceptional with chickens, never lost one or harmed one. Best Fit: A farm or property to watch over, ideally with no other dogs and no young children, as shes resource guarding me, which is not ideal with little ones around. Personality: This sweet girl just needs a quieter environment where she can focus on her job and be a devoted companion in a calm, adult household. She deserves a home where she can thrive and be appreciated for her protective instincts. If you think your farm or property would be a great fit, please reach out.

Story
Tig is a very friendly people dog but does not do well with other dogs. A very smart high energy dog who can be a goof ball at times. Tig loves to be outside and does great in the winter months. Some fixable issues with being territorial when it comes to toys but pretty normal stuff. As far as his behavior with other dogs, he initially did not have any issues until we got a new puppy which was fine at first and then things deteriorated so we found the puppy a new home. Tog does not have any natural aggression but after face to fave with another dog he usually becomes agitated. Tig typically does not pay much attention to other dogs when on a leash and outside.

Story
Felicity is a very sweet and happy girl. She is always so happy to meet new people - no one is a stranger to her! Felicity is a medium energy girl who will appreciate regular walks and plenty of time with her people. After she gets all her wiggles out, she typically settles and loves being petted. Since Felicity arrived to the shelter as a stray we do not know if she has lived with other animals. During her time in the shelter, she has been easy going and hasn`t shown much interest in other dogs. We can always provide a dog meet and greet prior to adopting if needed! She is becoming a little anxious in the shelter and will need time to decompress and adjust to her new home! Felicity does appear to be potty trained but please keep in mind that she may need a couple reminders. Felicity knows her basic cues and overall, walks well on a leash. She does get very excited to go on a walk, especially in the morning and will probably pull a little bit! Felicity is a very good girl, and we have enjoyed getting to know her better.

Story
Zorro is a happy and friendly dude. He loves meeting new people and has yet to meet someone he doesn’t like! Zorro has been friendly towards other dogs and appears to want to play. Zorro did arrive to the shelter as a stray so we do not know if he has lived with other animals, but we can provide a dog meet and greet if needed! Zorro has been on his best behavior and is a people pleaser. He is still learning new things but is doing great! Zorro knows the cue “sit” and walks well on a leash. We don’t know if Zorro is completely potty trained, but we anticipate him doing well once he has a more regular routine! Zorro has medium energy. He will be happiest with regular exercise and playtime! He always enjoys going on a nice walk, but this weather has been a little chilly for him! Zorro is wiggly and has the cutest little happy trot. He has a happy go lucky personality and is patiently waiting to find his forever home!
