Story
jolene is such a playful goofball that is super easy to train! she’s the best cuddler & loves to be with her humans. she loves to go on hikes, play fetch, & use tug toys. she is also super clumsy which makes play time very fun & full of laughter. jolene is a nervous girl though & needs someone who is patient. she is timid w/ strangers in the house but is perfectly happy to be crated while they're over. she will come out after everyone has settled in to say hello & return herself to the crate if she is feeling nervous again. she has made great strides since i’ve had her & see her only improving more. she is well trained & walks nicely on leash. jolene needs to be an only pet & no children in the house (has never been around them). energy level: medium — needs regular exercise but loves to couch potato. weight: 42 lbs house & crate trained available to meet & rehome anywhere in new england; will bring all supplies.

Story
Luke lives in Vt, I adopted Luke in Aug 2023 when my previous dog died. He was tied up to a trailer park with no food or water. He is about 4 yrs old 40 lbs. I am soon to be 65yrs old, still working, and feel Luke needs a better home than what he has. A home with kids, other dogs, and more activity. He has medium energy. He is very affectionate, loves to snuggle, very soft, and you can see has the most beautiful blue eyes. He is eager to please and a very happy dog. After work I try to take him to the dog park or the cemetery where he runs alongside my car for exercise. I make sure he runs every day. I have a fenced in yard with a doggie door, but I feel he's bored. He loves to run and play with other dogs but doesn't like Husky's or German Shepards and has a few dog park fights. He loves kids but needs a day to get use to them, then he's fine. Same with men, he can be a little skittish but then warms up after day. I have two Chihuahuas and they pick on him at times.

Story
Inari is a 2.5 year old Black Mount Cur mix. She is incredibly affectionate, loving, and cuddly. She loves being with her people. Inari is house, potty, leash, and crate trained. She is non-destructive in the home and can be left alone outside of a crate. We are rehoming Inari because she becomes dominate and aggressive with our older female hound mix. She has been able to peacefully coexists for several months at a time, but can become resource guarding over food, treats, and our attention. A good home for Inari would be one with no other female dogs or dogs smaller than she is (42lbs). She would thrive in a home that keeps her active and provides positive reinforcement. We are highly motivated to find the right home for her and will help with 5 years of food and vet insurance. Additionally, our dog trainer is offering free rehoming training for the right family.
