Story
Porter is a very sweet 4 year old Pyredoodle. He is a big boy but a gentle giant. He has a great protective bark but hasn’t met a stranger yet that hasn’t become an instant friend. He has been neutered and all shots up to date. He has been a great dog but unfortunately we just had a baby and she isnt doing well with the pet dander in the house and we had to make the decision to rehome and give him an opportunity to be around a loving family who can give him the attention he deserves. He cleans up well in the summer. We have let him grow out for the winter as he loves to trot and play in the snow.

Story
We've had Kiba since he was a puppy. He is two years old. We were not aware of his breed when we rescued him. He has grown larger than we thought he would. He is such a sweet dog and we are very attached however he is very active and I am disabled and unable to give him the care and activity he needs. He is trained to sit, spin, jump and wait to eat. He is not house trained to go outside but does go on a pee mat. 90% of the time he gets along well with everyone. It's his aggressive behavior around my 14 year old that has us looking to rehome. He has chased him down and nipped at him whenever Kiba has a bone. He seems very trainable but we just don't have the skill to train him. He loves car rides and being outside. I want someone to love him and give him a home he deserves. He's hard for me to handle with his size and my disability.

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bentley is a 8 year old male mini schnauzer, black/silver in color. Ive had him since he was 7 weeks old he was the runt. He is a very affectionate lap puppy that always wants to be touched. He just had his shots around March 20th which included yearly and a 3 year rabbies vaccine. I also have a 1 year supply of flea/heartworm/tick prevention meds. He was 20 lbs at his vet visit. Bentley would do best in a home with no other animals as he has little dog syndrome and wants to dominate any other animals no matter their size. He would also do best in a home where someone is a stay at home or retired. Bentley does well with children and has never shown any aggressive behaviors towards child or people. He does allert to people at the door and will back but has NEVER bitten anyone. Bentley loves car rides as long as he is being touched. He has been recently groomed and does well at the groomer. For more info or to meet Bentley, please contact Debbie at 3l7 5O9 4664

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
> good with indoor cats, not outdoor cats as she becomes prey driven. > good with dogs, would benefit from a meet and greet first. > potty trained but needs let out at least three times a day to prevent accidents. > loves all people and Is only 1 belly rub away from being your new best friend. > Very mild food aggression if any animals try to eat out of her designated food bowl. Not food aggressive towards people at all. > had a cruciate ligament tear inx her knee at some point but two vets have said surgery is not required as it is an old injury that has had scar tissue to grow around it. She gets around just fine and isn’t in pain from it. Will likely need arthritis pain medication in the future according to her most recent vet visit. > she loves soft squeaky toys to play with but must be watched or she will eat them! She will also eat socks if she gets bored so make sure she gets walks and attention and to keep socks off the floor.
