Story
We have had penny for about 4 months. We rescued her from a farm where she was being abused. When she came to us, she mostly hid in the house and outside. We were told she was old and not well so were going to finish out her days with us. It took about 2 weeks for her to fully trust us and warm up to us. She seems to prefer females but some males have been fine. Some new people she will show her teeth and growl at. She doesn’t seem to like kids as they are too energetic for her. Since having her, she has gotten so much better with people and loves to run and play. We go on walks and she loves to explore. We have another female dog and those two have gotten into multiple dog fights with wounds. We are moving and are no longer able to keep her with our other dog. She is very sweet and snuggly but needs a patient experienced dog handler as she doesn’t like baths and for new situations.

Story
I adopted Nova from a family member who was her first owner for 2.5 years. Nova has been a great dog and loves lots of hugs and attention. Due to some family changes and an increased work schedule I am unable to give her the attention she deserves. She enjoys walks, tugging with toys, running around our yard and playing in the woods. She is very smart and knows various commands that make her very pleasant to be around. (Sit, Come, Off, Lay Down, Bed, and Kennel.) Nova is house and kennel trained. She prefers a dog bed over a kennel. She is also trained with a perimeter dog collar system that I will include with her adoption. I will also include collar, harness, nail trimmer, and Shedding Brush. Nova has the most silky fur and her hair is very fine and shedding is minimal if she is brushed monthly. Her nickname is “supernova.”

Story
We got Stanley 3 years ago from a farm in Minnesota. He is a miniature Austrian Shepherd. He is loving and has a sweet personality. Some words to describe him would be playful, energetic, and smart. He is always up for playing and going for walks. We would like Stanley's new home to have space for him to run and play. He loves to sit outside, even in the cold, but at the same time, he enjoys being around his people. If trained, we think Stanley would really enjoy agility work. He is a working dog and loves to please. Recently he has barked at people in what could be an aggressive tone. We know that due to our busy lives Stanley has not received the attention and exercise he needs which more than likely is the cause of his aggressive barking. Please know Stanley has never bitten anyone. I hope we can find Stanley a better home. One where he can have the attention he needs, to play ball, go for walks, and get some love.

Story
Harley is a sweet boy, who loves to play with his toys. He loves people, including children of all ages! He is a very loyal boy and will follow you around the house. He enjoys laying on the couch, going for walks and getting lots of attention! He grew up with our male Goldendoodle and seems to do ok with other dogs at the groomers. However, he is on constant alert with our cats and follows and chases them around the house. He has nipped at them on a few occasions, this unfortunately is why we have to rehome him. We have tried to make it work, but it’s not fair to any of them in this situation. Besides the cat situation, Harley is a great dog! This is hard for us, so we want to make sure Harley finds a loving forever home! I think Harley would do best if he was the only dog and for sure no cats.
