Story
Full transparency, Walter is a high needs dog with a bite history. He has bitten both owners, our child (1year old) and one guest. Walter is a 4 year old labradoodle purchased from a breeder as a puppy. He is sweet (most of the time), loves walks, chasing after a ball, seek and find games, and seek and destroy games. His high needs: -highly anxious. Loud noises, new people, etc. -resource guarding -reactive -sensitive to grooming (both professional and owner) -barks for attention -jumps when greeting -needs regimen/ schedule and lots of exercise for best behavior He knows all basic commands: sit, stay, down, roll, shake, come He loves kongs, destroying cardboard boxes, squeaky toys, walks and car rides. We are very sad to rehome him but cannot give him the attention he needs and do not want to live in fear he will bite our young child again. Most of his behavior is predictable if you are able to read his body language.

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ivy is a spunky 4 year old American Pit Bull Terrier, Siberian Husky, and Boxer mix (reported by Embark DNA). We love her to death but unfortunately, work has her person relocating to another state and traveling for work more than is fair to her. We would love for her to find happiness in her new forever home. She is loves to run and has an impressive vertical jump, so a yard with a tall fence is a must! Her manners need some work, but she knows "sit," "lay down," and "go to bed (crate)." She meets every new person and situation with enthusiasm, so smaller children may end up getting knocked down in her excitement. She loves to play fetch and tug of war (you will tire long before she does). Plush puzzle toys she can stick her snoot in are some of her favorites. She loves to cuddle and develops great concern when you are under the weather or sad, so be prepared for the healing power of love.

His vocal abilities via his mouth, stomach throat and yes, even while snoring in his sleep mirror the starring animals in Dr. Doolittle. Almost as if he digested mini robots who talk via mini microphones. Although, the Vet has no records of him being chipped.

A warm intro to other dogs he craves social interactions/love

Story
Rocky is a sweetheart. I was supposed to have him for 1 week but then his potential new family couldn’t take him anymore. I’ve had him for a few months and fell in love with him. If I could keep him I would…I’ve definitely tried hence having him for a few months. He has some separation anxiety and always wants to be with his person. He sits on my feet when I am working on the computer. He loves to lie by my head when I do let him sleep in the bed. He’s a cuddler. He does have a lot of energy and would do well with someone who can take him for walks a few times a day and who has a fenced yard. He will bark when he’s alone so apartment or condo living won’t be for him. He will do well if there are other small dogs in the home to keep him company. He does use the potty outside but still has accidents. He needs a family that is experienced with puppies and is patient and loving.

Story
Sushi is a fun-loving, energetic corgi mix. Turning 2 years old this December, he’s the perfect age to be your exciting companion for all your outdoor adventures. As a corgi and border collie mix, Sushi is not only adorable but also incredibly smart. He thrives in an active environment and would do best in a home with a yard where he can run and play to his heart's content. Sushi has a playful spirit and a strong herding instinct, so he’ll love to engage in games and activities that stimulate both his body and mind. We are looking for a loving family or individual who can dedicate time to play with him, take him on outdoor adventures, and help him fulfill his herding instincts. Whether it's a game of fetch, a hike in the woods, or just running around in the yard, Sushi is ready to make every day an adventure.
