Story
Hello! My name is Atlas and I’m a 6 year old GSD/husky mix. I was adopted when I was about 3 months old. I rarely bark and love running all around the back yard! I also enjoy couch sleeps and cuddles. As I am just a 126 lb lap dog… I currently have 3 human siblings (5mo, 9yo, 13yo) and I love playing with them! I’m just a little too rough with the baby.. I'm an only dog and like it that way. Hmm. What else.. OOOUUU I absolutely LOVE chewing.. anything. All the things. So I usually get the good chew toys and the deer antlers. My perfect home would be a place I’d get decent amount attention but not too much cause I like to nap. Also would love lots and lots of room to run with NO leash/lead. If you got that and wanna love on me, give us a ring! Bye for now!

Story
She is super sweet, high energy, and super playful. She was abandoned and is looking for a good home. She is a tad bit territorial and she would have to be an only pet.

Story
crying while i type this… everyone meet beau! this big 65 lb baby boy!🩵 he is up to date on all vaccines, neutered, and a very playful boy. here’s the thing, i adopted beau for an adoption agency called CAA in baton rouge. when adopted they couldn’t tell me much about him. only that he is a mix of some kinda poodle of some sort and they weren’t exactly sure how old he was. i had to learn a lot about him on my own and what i did learn was he definitely still acts like a puppy , his favorite game in the world is tug-of-war and he needs space to RUN. he is also potty trained and if i had the back yard for it with a fence he would be with me the rest of my life. unfortunately, i do not. I live in a mobile home and he does not have a lot of space to run, and honestly, I should’ve known better when I got him, and for that reason, I caused my own heartache. Beau has brought so much joy into my life with his sweet face and super sassy personally. I will love him forever!

Story
Harley is a sweet, smart dog who does well with kids and most other dogs. She is fairly low-energy and would love to be a couch potato with whoever will snuggle with her. She has fairly severe separation anxiety, but handles being kenneled well. We have a small baby, a small house, and 2 full-time jobs, so we are unable to provide her the home she needs to truly be happy. She has a tendency to lick obsessively and will knock over a small toddler, though, so a family with older children might be best. Her kennel, dog couch, and food bowl can be all be included with adoption if desired.
