Story
Rocko is a playful, loving, and adventurous boy. He came into my life unexpectedly and we spent the last 4 years enjoying road trips, runs and hikes, and cuddles. He is incredibly intelligent, understanding many commands including sit, stay, wait, drop-it, and much more. Being a mix of working breeds, daily enrichment through tasks, toys, and human interaction is of upmost importance. He is successfully coexisting with cats indoors and is very respectful of them in the home. However, he does have a high prey drive outdoors; if he sees a cat (even a familiar one) running in the yard, his instinct is to chase. He would do best in a home with 'dog-savvy' cats and owners who will manage their interactions when outside. I am making the difficult, but right decision to rehome Rocko. Due to many lifestyle & living situational changes, I am not able to provide him with the lifestyle he has grown to know or deserve.

Story
Ambrose came from a shelter as a puppy. He stayed inside and would follow us around everywhere we went. He slept in our bed, whined at the bathroom door until we came out and never left our side. He has gone through a divorce between me and his father, losing a father and friend in the separation. He lost his first home when we couldn't stay in the house anymore. He lost friends he had made in a different part of the world as we moved. But he never lost his spirit. He made new friends, found a new home and built a new routine. He has a sister cat who he loves to sniff and nudge until she hisses and then he jumps around her wagging his tail, it's so funny. He never hurts her because he loves her like he loves his humans. His gentle nature extends to every creature. From big or little dogs, cats, humans, he has never bitten or attacked anything. He loves to play and will show dominance to some big dogs but at the end of the day he is a lover not a fighter who aspires to be a lap dog.
