Story
Meet Layla, a sweet and loving 3 year old purebred German shepherd. We adopted Layla as a puppy and raised her in harmony with other pets (dogs/cats) in the same household with no issues. As Layla matured she began to struggle with. nervousness/reactivity, later causing a serious fight with a senior housemate (dog). But has shown zero aggression to humans but would be best in a home with older due to limited exposure to children .Layla Needs to be in a home where she is only pet and receive the love and attention she deserves. We are heartbroken to rehome Layla but have chosen to for the safety and quality of life for her and the other pets in the household. She needs someone willing to work with her on her reactivity and nervousness preferably with someone who has experience with reactive dogs/german shepherd. Layla is house trained,crate trained and knows basic commands such as sit/stay/come/shake and loves long walks and her pool in the summer. She will be dearly missed.

Story
He needs a home, me and my partner thought we would be able to keep him. Unfortunately things did are not working out in our favor at the moment. We're heart broken and truley devastated that we aren't able to keep him at this moment of time. He is a laber-heeler mix. He is 9 months old now and we are looking for a good family to place him with. We were hoping to find someone who was willing to foster him until we found a home ourselves, but if adoption is what's needed for the better for him that's what we will choose. He is a very active and playfully puppy. He gets along well with cats and other dogs. He is shy at first, but he is a very snuggly dog when he lightens up.

Story
Are you a person with a dog who needs a little brother? Do you have some land or a regular walking hobby? Gus is Your Guy! Gus is an energetic 14 month old dog with a ton of heart and a deep love of being a part of a pack. He was adopted from an unexpected litter. Our family loves Gus very much but he does not do well alone and can get destructive when bored. Our house will not accommodate another dog but Gus wants to be with another dog. He can be around cats that are used to dogs but he plays chase and our cats Hate it. Gus will come with leashes, collar, crate, food, treats, toys. He is a really good boy who just needs the right home.

Story
Redford is a 2.5 year old Mini American Shepherd. I have had him since he was 9 weeks old. He is the smartest, goofiest pup. He learns really quick. He is a great hiking buddy. He loves the water and snow. Unfortunately with pros come cons. He has some resource guarding issues and he is a very fearful skittish dog. I would not trust him around small children. He has been like this since I got him. I am looking to rehome him because I cannot give him the mental stimulation that he needs and deserves to curb these negative traits nor the right out of exercise he needs I am looking for a knowledgeable, patient home for him preferably without children or any future planned children. Someone familiar with Australian Shepherds and their needs.
