Story
My name is Iris Jean and i love to run. My family doesnt have enough room for me in their yard and I need a job to do. I can be stubborn but i am kind of a scaredy cat. I am very vocal and love to have conversations. cuddling it my favorite and id love it more if you held my paw. I love kids and being outside. Please give me a chance!! She is very timid and shy as she was when I adopted her. She really needs a home fast. My neighbors have been complaining about her because she barks some when there dogs bark. I have tried multiple times to rehome her to different people but have no luck. She can be a great dog for someone who has a job for her to do. I think that is what she is missing in her life. She can sit, lay, shake with both paws and is kennel trained. She loves to run and play. Great with other dogs as well.

Story
We got Hoss as a 8 week old puppy in June 2024. He is house and kennel trained and is also trained to an outdoor invisible parameter fence system. He is good with kids and other dogs. He’s not been around cats. He’s energetic and bouncy. My husbands mom has become ill and requires more of our time and poor Hoss is spending too much time in a kennel. He does dig outside if he is left alone too long and gets bored.

Story
Baxter is a sweet boy that loves to cuddle, play ball, tug of war with his rope, going for walks and howling along with the train horn. He has the prettiest ice blue eyes. He does not have any indoor behavioral issues and is housebroken. He has typical husky behavior from being “talkative”, eating ice cubes and lounging in the snow. I took him in for a friend that needed to rehome him asap aprox 1.5 year ago due to an emergent health issue that arose. We live on a farm with chickens & goats and I am needing to rehome him because unfortunately his boredom has been getting the better of him and he has started killing chickens when he is left unattended outside (to protect the land with our other guard dogs.) He is great with kids and there have been no issues with our indoor cats or other dogs. This is heartbreaking for me because he really is such a good dog that I love so much but I just cant break this habit he has gotten into nor convince my husband to let me keep him any longer.
