Story
Kaiju has lots of energy and loves exploring. If you need a new walking or hiking buddy, he's up for the job! He is a lower ranking pack member and displays nervousness with new dogs. He plays well with his brother Voodoo and would do best with small groups play dates. He's not fan of crates and will try to breakout if he finds a weakness in it. We are working on this anxiety and he is showing improvement. Kaiju walks well on the leash except when a rabbit or something runs out. He will tug and wine but is easily corrected. He is not house trained but is doing better each day. He doesn't act afraid of men anymore but doesn't enjoy car rides either. He likes to hide all toys and bones in his blanket for safe keeping and prefers the couch to the floor.

Story
Meet Ducky! This beautiful girl was pulled from a kill shelter minutes before she was to be put down. She can be a little skittish, but LOVES to play with everyone and doesn’t mind getting some head scratches too. 💕She is dog friendly and no issues with kids as long as they respect that she needs to come to them for pets since she is nervous at first. Not cat friendly as she wants to chase them. She does think she is a cat though and will lay in the back of the couch whenever she can(it’s actually a comfort thing) but it makes me laugh! Ducky seems to be a very all around sweet girl! She will do great in just about any home, she does have some energy as she’s still young so will need a family that can help get her energy out or a fur-sibling to runaround with. This sweet girl is ready for her furever family that she can play and love on without any worries in the world. Could Ducky be the right girl for you? 🥰

Story
Voodoo is just a young pup that needs someone to take the time to teach him what is expected of him. He's very willing to listen and learn. He is still nervous around men but getting better everyday. He will be a water dog! He tried to get back in tub after his first bath. He's more of an alpha and would do better with other dogs with low to medium energy level. Also a smaller pack would be better. He can play with toys with other dogs but doesnt like to share his food or bones so those have to stay up. He's been holding his potty over night and most work days. Voodoo could learn to live with cats but would need some training. He loves to play with toys! ALSO, He smiles when he's really happy 😊
