Story
Have experience with an Australian Shepherd? Looking for a canine companion to take for daily walks, hikes or swims? Cat free home? Large, fenced backyard? We adopted Indi in 7/22 (DOB 3/18/2022). She is an active, strong willed dog, dominant and full of personality. She loves to spend her days outside, walking/running the perimeter of our backyard, digging and enjoying her super chewer bark box toys. To help set boundaries and fulfill her good girl potential, Indi completed a four week board and train obedience program with a well respected Middletown dog training program in the spring of 2023. Indi has her sweet moments and we love her very much. We have tried very hard for the past two years to make this work. Unfortunately, we have four cats and she has a very strong prey drive. She has also recently stopped getting along with another dog in our home. As much as this breaks our hearts, we'd love to find a family who can better meet her needs.

Story
I am looking for a good home for my sweet dog Bear. I got him over a year ago with my partner. Unfortunately, this person is no longer in my life and left me with this sweet dog. I am unable to give him the attention he deserves or afford him at this time. He is a good boy and LOVES fetch. He will play fetch for hours. He has a lot of energy so loves to play outside and run around. He is crate trained. Can go long stretches without needing to be let out for those people that work full time. Truly a sweet boy that just needs some love and attention. I can provide the crate I currently have for him, his dog food container, and his chuck-it. He does like to chew things if he has pent up energy so I would definitely advise crating him if you leave him alone for an extended period of time.

Story
You haven’t felt true love until you’ve had this big, white, fluffy polar bear run up to you after a long day at work! Or put his cute little nose in your lap when you’re having a bad day. This sweetie boy, Obi, is always there to cheer you up or show you love. He’s 4 years old and the perfect mix of breeds with him being 51% Great Pyrenees! Need to go for a walk to clear your mind? He’s ready to go! Want to snuggle after running around all day? He’s down for that too. He’s energetic, but night time snuggles are his favorite. He’s gotten along with all dogs he’s come across so far, and he loves meeting new people! He loves to go on walks and stay by you the whole time! Obi is a protector for sure. He needs a family to protect and look after and who can give him all of the love and snuggles he deserves. Unfortunately with a baby on the way, we’re afraid we won’t give him as much attention. But Obi is eager to become apart of your new family! Any and all questions welcomed!

Story
Koda is a fun loving Akita. He enjoys cuddles, treats, and running at the dog park. He is a big goofball ball. He knows some basic commands, is house-trained, kennel-trained, and is a quick learner, although he does get excited for his treats. He can be a talker. Lol He is a bit timid when meeting new people but warms up to you quickly. He hasn't been around a lot of other dogs. Sadly, I have to rehome him due to loss of income and moving out of state. He will come with a large wire crate, toys, leash/harness/collar, dog food, and bowls. Just want him to go to a good home that can give him love and attention and wants a good guard dog.
