Story
Meet Gebo, the ultimate good boy! The big thing that stands out about Gebo is how much he LOVES PEOPLE. He lives for meeting people, snuggling people, sitting in laps, spooning, etc! He is a very goofy guy that brings so much joy and laughter into our home. We are so jealous of whoever gets to keep him forever. Gebo is very food and snuggle motivated, making him a quick learner who excels in training exercises! He takes treats gently and will sit and wait until you say "free" to start eating. In the morning, Gebo loves to get under the covers for a snuggle session. He's also a cuddle fight enthusiast and will drop everything for a belly rub. During playtime Gebo is hyped, but most of the day he is a cuddly couch potato. He is a frisbee champion! Gebo may do best in a house where he is the only dog or with an older, calmer companion that isn't bothered by his playful energy. Because he doesn't understand his size he may do best with older kids. He takes treats very gently, but loves to lick faces and is working on off. -LOVES PEOPLE -Potty trained -Crate trained -Loves to snuggle -Frisbee champion -Likes to swim -Enjoys bath time -Very food motivated -Enjoys training exercises and learns quickly (would do very well in agility training) -Takes treats gently -Loves an affectionate cuddle fight -Likes to get under the covers and snuggle in the morning -Will sit and wait until you say "free" to begin eating his food -Loves to be outside and nap in the sun As an added bonus, we would love to offer free pet sitting for his future family! If you're looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate companion, Gebo is your perfect match!

Story
In December I will have had Sam as a foster for a year. Doesn't seem that long, he's been an absolute joy to have in my kennel. Everyone thinks their dog is special, the difference is I KNOW Sam is special. I've said it before, he a soul mate dog, and those don't come along every day. He connects w/his person and you become a team. It's a different type of relationship. And I am lucky to have it with Sam. And the person who adopts him will be even luckier than me. Sam is the most confident, level headed dog I have ever met. He's just on a different level than most dogs. He takes everything in stride and I'm not sure I have ever seen him over react, well, maybe when he first started seeing deer. Today I took him to the park, it was hot but we did a good walk. I brought him back and put him in a different run, so now he had a neighbor. He walked in, ran around the yard, Said, Huh, cool Mom, went over to the fence met his neighbor, said, Howdy new neighbor, his neighbor, also a good guy, said Howdy back at ya. And that was pretty much that. No worries for mom. Some fun facts about Sam.....He loves to play ball, and is really good at it. Catches fly balls, brings every ball right to your feet. He's a total weenie about water, I can not get him to swim. Great in the car, walks around a little but never bother me, loves going places, meets people well, doesn't want strange men patting him until he knows who they are, but doesn't take long, likes his patties and snuggles but isn't in your lap type of dog. Bottom line, he's awesome.
