She is a very sweet and energetic dog! She does well having mental stimulation and physical exercise every day. She currently runs out in a yard and doesn’t mind the cold with her thicker coat. She is trained and likes to learn. We are looking for a loving home that will give her attention, snuggles and keep her active!

Story
Hazzard is a two year old shepherd and staffy mix, one of the sweetest and most entertaining pups I’ve ever fostered. Potty trained, dog and cat friendly, a little rambunctious for toddlers but he would be a great first dog for anyone really. Barely barks and people friendly, and we are still working on not pulling on the leash. Hazzard would come with food and new kennel. Backstory: Hazzard was part of a litter that was raised in an unfinished basement. There were four brothers and he was easily the friendliest while being cautiously protective of his littermates. The mom had been kept in the garage during pregnancy, and we were told by vets that she must have been exposed to some chemicals because some of the pups were showing slight developmental defects. Hazzards teeth were slightly affected, some of the enamel is gone, and we have to avoid him chewing on hard bones. But otherwise he has no lasting issues from his rough start.

Story
Redd came from a farm in Wisconsin when he was just 4 months old. He's grown up with all 6 of my children now ages 6-21. He's been around and lived with babies, toddlers, men, women, dogs, and cats. He's use to a big back yard with a 6 foot fence. He's very good at jumping and can jump a 4 foot fence if he really wants to. He is used to walks on a leash - though we just dont do that very much these days. He's use to a gentle leader when walking on a leash. He's very sweet and friendly. He's done well at dog parks. Only thing about Redd - He chases cats and squirrels :P He is SO LOVED. He will need much comfort and love throughout this processing.

Story
Ichigo is 5 years old. He's definitely a fun dog to be around, gets along with all pets or human and is always so curious about new things. He knows a few tricks and loves fetch, although he doesn't like to let go out the toy sometimes. Unfortunately he was diagnosed with IVVD and has been in my care since then. I want him to go to a good loving home as I'll return to office soon and won't be able to care for him as often anymore.

Story
Suze (SUE-ZEE) was adopted in Indiana in 2019. She is around 9 years old but has the energy of a 5 year old. She is extremely sweet with everyone she meets. She has lived with cats for the past 7 years and does very well with them. She does not do well with other dogs but has in the past so there's potential that with the right training, she could get along with dogs. Suze is happiest when she can snooze on the couch or in a comfy bed but she also loves being active and would do well with someone who can take her on regular walks. She is crate trained and does well in a crate when left alone. We have loved having Suze as part of our family these past 7 years but due to unfortunate situations, we can no longer give her the care and attention she deserves. She is getting older but has a lot of life left to live and we would love to see her get to spend her remaining years with someone who can care for her properly. She is very loyal and loving and will make a great companion.

Story
Eddie is a 1-year-old Black Lab who is sweet, strong, and incredibly loyal! Weighing in at around 55 pounds, he’ll stick by your side like it’s his full-time job.This young pup is house-trained and crate-trained. He does well in his crate for extended periods, settling in after a few minutes. Eddie loves standing on his hind legs to watch the world through the window or gently grabbing your hand with his paw just to keep you close. He loves chew toys, tug-of-war, and most of all, your attention. He usually has at least two walks a day and some active play like tug-of-war or zoomies around the yard. His leash manners are still a work in progress, so his future family should give some extra training to help guide him.He would prefer a home where someone is around often. Loud noises and unfamiliar people can spook him, but with patience and routine, he’s learning to feel more confident. Eddie is not able to live in a home with other dogs because he becomes very overstimulated when he sees them. He hasn’t lived with cats or children.Eddie is looking for a home to grow up in and give love in return!
