Story
Nico needs someone experienced with Shepards. He is a purebred Caucasian Shepard. We are currently fostering him because he injured himself in his kennel. His humans no longer feel they can keep him safe and know that he deserves a yard to run and maybe even some livestock to protect. He is a beautiful boy. Good outside of his kennel. Very smart just has too much energy for his young parents. Adoption fee negotiable for the right candidate. Neutered and up to date on his shots.

Story
Rollo is a sweet 1 1/2 year old border Collie mix. He has high energy, loves to run outside. Plays with toys but also is a big cuddle bug. He wants to please and appears to feel bad when he doesn't behave. he is great with other dogs and kids of all ages. Reason for rehoming is he has anxiety when left alone and has a bad chewing habit (he has destroyed a couch, pulled a little bit of carpet up, and damaged some window trim). He will also pull dishes out of the sink if we haven't washed them yet. Again, these behaviors only happen when he is home alone. When gone we now lock him up in the kitchen area of our house since that's the room with the least amount of stuff in it. We tried crate training him as a puppy and it did not go well (would get poop every where every time he was in it even for short time). Unfortunately do to our families work and school schedules, he is alone for roughly 7 hours a day.Looking for a new home that has space to run and for someone to be around him a lot.

Story
Meet Murphy – A Smart, Sensitive Pup Looking for a Fresh Start 🐾 Murphy is a bright, quirky little guy who's had a rough start and is still learning to trust. He's not timid — just unsure — and can get a bit nippy when overwhelmed. But with structure, patience, and someone who understands dogs, Murphy will thrive. He’s loyal, curious, and loves being near his person once he feels safe. Murphy would do best in a calm, adult-only home with someone who can offer guidance, boundaries, and a whole lot of love. He’s a work in progress — but the kind that’s worth it. 💛

Story
Meet Timber! 🐾 Timber is a handsome little guy we believe to be a Black Lab mix, weighing in at about 32 pounds—a perfect medium size for snuggles on the couch or adventures around town. While he may be a bit shy when first meeting new people, Timber simply needs a little time and patience. With slow introductions and a gentle approach, he quickly warms up and shows his true personality. Once Timber feels comfortable, his sweet and affectionate nature shines. One of his favorite ways to show love is by placing his paw on you, as if to say, “Hey, I’m glad you’re here.” It’s a small gesture that melts hearts every time. ❤️ Timber also has a goofy side that the staff absolutely adore. He loves to sleep on his back, often sprawled out in the funniest positions. It’s not unusual to find him upside down, legs in the air, completely relaxed and living his best life—something that always gets a laugh from everyone who sees it. Timber would do best in a home that understands he may need a little time to settle in, but the reward is a loyal, loving companion who just wants to be close to his people. If you’re looking for a sweet, slightly shy boy with a big heart (and some hilarious sleeping habits), Timber might be your perfect match. 🐶💤
