Story
Located in Reno, NV. Brady is a smart, handsome boy who has been thriving in an extensive training program. His high intelligence makes him eager to learn and capable of so much with the right guidance. According to his trainer, Brady is an easy, relaxed dog outside of stimulating environments. He crates with no fuss, loves to hang out quietly in the yard, nose around for kibble, or lounge by your side. Around higher-stimulus situations, Brady benefits from tight management and structure to keep up the healthy habits he's worked so hard to build. The great news is that he's been walking and working around other dogs successfully, and he responds beautifully to the e-collar, which will be an important tool in continuing his progress. Brady is looking for a home that appreciates his intelligence and is committed to keeping up his training. In return, you'll gain a loyal, affectionate, and wonderfully capable companion. Brady's adoption includes 12 sessions with a private trainer, 3 boarding nights and unlimited group classes. We are so dedicated to Brady and know that the perfect person is out there looking for him.

Story
This is Hoover, male, also almost 7mths old. Fully vaccinated 1st full rounds of puppy shots Sept 19th and also born May 13th as his sister Daisy, they are litter mates. He however will be much larger in size! Probably around 70+lbs full grown. Loves to herd and chase everything and me. He is very strong willed, protective, clumsy, goofy personality, soft soul, clingy, loves to snuggle and give many kisses. Hasn't had a lot of out in the world exposure nor people and other dog socializing, but is getting knowledge and better with it everyday. He's a loyal guard dog who could benefit hugely in working on a farm, or agility training with consistent mental cognitive activities. Loves to nap and goof play with his human too. I believe he'd be great with other working dogs to follow in their lead and has already done great with friendly calmer dogs too after some time of warming up to them. Great on walks, but nervous with loud noises. He will be a great dog under the right handler.

Story
This is Daisy, she's the female runt. Almost 7mths old, born May 13th, fully vaccinated 1st full rounds of puppy shots on Sept 19th. Easily trainable, very smart, super goofy, loving yet spicy high busy energy. Recall great in a home base comfortable environment, can sit, sit pretty, wait (short period) and loves to chase and play with toys and stuffed animals. Getting better at potty training, still working on alerting me when need to go out to potty. However, good at using potty pads indoors over rugs. She is very playful and good with friendly calmer dogs after some time to warm up around them in a home base environment. Friendly to calm natured kids. In public around people and loud noises she is shy and timid, submits to being touched and say hello when being held. Getting better on leash walks and learning to release on pulling with a soft prong collar. When out in public my truck is her safe place. However, she will sniff, pee and calm down on walks when surrounding is calm.

Story
Oversized teddy bear seeks snuggle partner. Cuddly, smart, and eager to please, swipe right if you can handle this high energy heart with a soft side. Hatchi’s story is heartbreaking — he came into the shelter with his brother, but when their owner returned, they only took his brother… leaving Hatchi behind in a high-kill shelter. He soon found himself on the euthanasia list. Hatchi is now in a loving foster home and is looking for his forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and supported again. Hatchi does require eye drops daily for the remainder of his life. In our dream world, Hatchi would find a human that would help him feel confident and secure in a FINALLY stable environnment.
