Story
Jax is a year and a half old. He's a very good and sweet dog. He's a good guard dog also. He's very highly trained. He can sit, stay, go to place where he stays in a place until you tell him to move. He can heal and much much more. The only problem is he's so protective. He has nipped at a couple people and we don't know what to do because we have kids and we can't take that risk. He hasn't drew blood or bit anybody like that but we don't want it to come to that or try to do something after it's too late. But he really is a good dog. He's very sad that we need to get rid of him. That's why we're not asking for a fee. You can have it for free. And we paid $2,000 for his training and have a certificate for it.

Mutt

Details

Story
Hermione is six years old and has lived with us since she was 3 months old. She is often nervous and shy, more so around men than others. When anxious, she will hunker down or hide. She gets along with the cat and young grandson. She lets the grandson dress her up in scarves and sunglasses, feed her and they sleep together in his clubhouse (the crate). Hermione snuggles with him and any people who will let her lay with them. She is house-broken, barks to be let out, follows basic obedience commands and walks well on a leash. She is jealous of the Dane, showing this by growling, baring her teeth and pushing him with her body to move him away. Hermione’s activity level is low. While she will run around the yard for a minute or two, she returns quickly to be let back in the house. We recently bought a boat to live on. She does not like it. There are too many unanticipated movements and noises for her to relax. She needs a loving family with a house that is stable and quiet.

Story
I have had Rory since she was 5 weeks old. However I recently am going through a divorce and the cost of keeping her I can’t support anymore. She is a very high energy dog that needs somewhere she can run around and play. She does well with other dogs once she gets used to them she just takes a minute to warm up to them. She really is a great dog I just unfortunately can no longer give her the love and attention she needs as well as the space she needs to live her best life. She is very food motivated so training her is easy. She’s completely house trained and never has accidents in the house. She could use some extra leash training but overall she’s easy on a leash just needs a little direction sometimes.
