Story
Junie joined our family as a puppy six years ago. She was adopted from the CAHS. I don't have any real idea what type of dog she is and have never done any testing to determine. She looks a little border collie but her hair isn't as long. She has white tips on her tail and sock feet. She is 100% housebroken, stays around her people when outside in the yard, and follows commands. She enjoys playing with other dogs and is nice to cats that she knows are family. We are changing our living arrangements soon and will no longer be able to keep her. Looking to find her a home where she can be active and have plenty of outdoor time. She likes to go for runs in the woods (on or off leash) and does a good job of listening. She behaves for the most part when left indoors but will sneak onto the furniture or steal food if left within reach. Has never destroyed furniture or shoes. She barks to alert us of visitors and deliveries. Treat motivated, learned "beg" command from a six year old in an hour

Story
We adopted sweet Lila from our local shelter when she was only 8 weeks old. She has been a wonderful addition to our home and we are heartbroken about rehoming her. Recently, she and our existing dog have been fighting to the point that they are hurting each other. We have sought help from our veterinarian and trainer but have been unable to find a source of the issue. At this point, it has become clear that neither can live with the other and have a happy, healthy life. Lila has a lot of energy and is very playful! She is now nearly 2 years old (DOB: 1/15/23). She has gone through training and knows basic commands. Our trainer has indicated that she is eager to work and could be trained more intensely if desired. She loves snuggles and often forgets that she is 60lbs of solid muscle. We believe that she would do best in a home where she would be the only dog and could soak up all that affection. She has done well with our four kids, but should be kept away from cats or poultry.

Story
We bought her from a farm in Pennsylvania in September 2020. Her birthday is July 14th. Currently she is 65lbs and won’t get any bigger. We love her so much but she is lonely cuz we go to work in the morning and come home at night. I and my wife have a restaurant so we work late, which means we don’t have time to company with her. She stay in front of the glass window every day and look outside. Besides, we live in an apartment so that she don’t have backyards to play. Looks like she is very lonely. So we want to find a person who has a home with background, or can take her to play often. She is super super friendly and loves people. We’ll provide 7 days food and all her clothing and collar and leash.

Eaton Rapids, MI
Size

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Nala is a F1 Great Mountaineese Doodle (Bernese Mountain Dog crossed with a Great Pyrenees and then bred with a Poodle). She was purchased from a breeder in WV in November 2021 at 8 weeks old. Her breed is known to be a family guardian/nanny & she has lived up to her name. Nala is highly intelligent, wonderful with kids & babies, well trained (crate trained, comes when called, sit, lay down, beg) & has a very sweet temperament. Her one downside is that she has a horrible human food obsession. We have remedied this partially by putting an indoor perimeter shocker so she cant get into the kitchen. She will get into the trash if unmonitored & steal food from counters & anywhere food is left unattended. Though it pains us to do so, with 6 children & busy schedules, Nala is neglected. Nala needs someone that loves dogs and will pet her, walk her, play fetch with her, groom her and give her the love & affection she needs and deserves. Dog supplies included (crate, perimeter fence, etc.)

Story
This is Benny, hes a 10 month purebred akc yellow lab. I got him in November of this year and I quickly found out I just dont have enough time for this sweet boy. He deserves a better home. He is not up to date on shots, all he has right now is flea and tick. I havent had time to get him in for his exams. He is very energetic and very playful. He is not fully crate trained yet but I was in the process of doing so. He is potty trained and does pretty well on a leash. He is a major lover and will snuggle with you anytime of the day. If you have any more questions you can reach me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx . Please do not call as I will think its spam. Please text. Thank you
