Story
Jessie is a very friendly lab and will make someone a wonderful pet. Unfortunately she likes to greet the UPS and FedEx trucks when they make deliveries. She lost her right rear leg while running around one of the trucks. However, this hasn't slowed her down at all and she's just as active as ever. Due to our business, we have a lot of traffic and we fear she will be hit again. Jessie is trained to a perimeter collar, but we cannot restrict it enough to keep her out of the driveway. That is the reason we are wanting to find her a loving home where she will be safe.

Story
ZZ is a 4 1/2 year old female doberman. She is spayed. She has lived with us her entire life along with her 2 siblings. Sadley due to moving we can't keep them. She likes to hang out outside and watch the world. She does like to bark at whatever moves to let it know she it there watching. She is happy to be in the same room with you and likes ear rubs and butt scratches. She could stand to loose a few pounds so might need some more exercise or a reduced calorie food. She does not like ball caps that extend over someones face, nor masks of anykind. She does well with kids that are 13 and up but shouldn't be around little kids without supervision because she doesn't like it when they run up and get in her face or startle her. Her favorite thing to do is wrestle with her brothers. She is current on all her shots and has never missed her monthly heartworm flea and tick. She needs a safe home with a fenced yard. If you love her and take care of her she will return it to you and love you.

Story
This is Tucker! He is 10 years old (born - 3/17/2014) and weighs around 35 lbs. He's a mini Australian Shepard and has been part of our family since he was born (local breeder). He is neutered, and is a medium energy level dog, and will love you when gets to know you. He is a pretty nervous dog, and doesn't initially like new people/dogs or LOUD noises. But after 5-10 minutes of getting to know you and smell you then he will love you forever. He loves being outside, running, and playing with our family (kids and another dog). Right now, with our growing family, we haven't had the time to devote to him and give him the stimulation he needs. He is house and kennel trained. We do run into issues with him going to the bathroom in the house, mostly infrequent. He does pretty well with the kennel - although we have only used it sparingly - not long-term.

Story
Ember is a beautiful dog that is great with kids and other animals. We are welcoming our third baby and our other two children have delays that require a lot of attention. We are unable to keep up with the playful girl she is and want her to go to a family that will spoil her with lots of love and attention.
