Story
These three puppies entered our lives because we rescued the parents in Oklahoma and mom was pregnant at the time. So one month later we had 5 more dogs for a grand total of 10 (we already had 3 dogs of our own). We found homes for 2 of the siblings and need to find good homes for the other 3 so they can have their own family. Luke and Beethoven love to wrestle and play with each other and if you join in they love it. Chewie is a little more reserved, being the oldest she has to set the example for her brothers. They all love their mom and when mom comes outside they stop whatever they are doing and run to her. Of the boys, Luke is the quieter. Even when he is outside wanting to come in he never barks. He just stands at the door looking in with those beautiful sad eyes until you let him in. Beethoven is probably the prettiest of the 3, and has a great sense of smell. I think he might be able to smell sickness. Chewie will attach herself to one person which was me

Story
Levi is a very loving and sweet German Shepherd and Red Healer mix. He is fully house broken and sleeps soundly through the night in his own bed. He is about 10 years old but still has plenty of energy and no health issues. He is definitely is at his happiest when he can get daily exercise. He knows basic training and walks well on a leash, he is very smart and trainable. A kong full of treats is his favorite! It breaks my heart to have to re-home him but he does not get along with our lab. That being said it would probably be best if he went to a home as an only dog as he has shown reactive behavior. He is great with people, fine with some dogs, and not good with other dogs. I don't know what the trigger is that makes him reactive with certain dogs. He will make a wonderful companion for the right family. He will come with his collar, harness, and kong.

Story
We were given Wendell as a puppy. He was an amazing dog and I saw to it that we did all the proper training with him and he was a well behaved dog that was good with kids and other dogs. When he was about 7 months old he started having seizures. Our vet was overseeing these seizures and over time he has been put on two seizure meds and and an anxiety med. The seizures have changed him and what at one time did not bother him, now affects him a lot. We have two wild 5 yo little boys that live here and this seems to affect his seizures and his anxiety and his behaviors are no longer compatible with our fam. It is like he was never trained. He is just wild and 3x he has caused me to fall, the last time causing me damage to my back. He has never been aggressive and he has never attempted to bite, but because of his behaviors we have to keep him crated a great deal which is not fair to him. He needs a quieter home with lots of love and someone who can handle a dog with his special needs.

Story
Sprite was adopted in south Texas, she was born at the end of 2023 (presently 1 yr 4 months old). The mother was a Belgian Malinois while the father was a Black Labrador. She was weaned at 8 weeks and recieved all her scheduled vaccines, boosters and her spay (June 2024). She was raised in a household with dogs, cats and small children. And adapts well to new members and guests. Although she gets along great with her housemates, she has a high prey drive as a Malinois and needs a more qualified owner. As our family is moving into a farming community, her containment has become an issue- causing injuries to herself and potentially our neighboring farm animals. For her safety I think it's best she relocates to a home with proper fencing, larger housemates, older children and activities more suitable for her breed. She is house trained, eager to please and is very athletic. All her medical records are located at Allen Veterinary Center in Parsons, KS.
