Story
Yara - Is a 2.5 year old female Belgian Malinois. Yara has an energetic personality and once bonded will love you with all she has. She is housebroken and crate trained. Yara walks great on a leash or free on a remote collar. Yara enjoys anything from neighborhood walks to long hikes. She is UTD on vaccines/HWP. She is still very much a puppy and will need an experienced Mal owner to guide her. She knows basic commands and will be a quick learner. She is submission around dogs, but does show a strong pray drive with small animals (cats and small dogs) and is reactive towards horses. She would excel at being a hiking buddy. Or in dog sports. She has done a little bit of tracking/trailing work with success.

Story
Urgent home needed for my dog 💔 She was recently rescued and is incredibly loving and intelligent. She loves to play, run, and be around people. Unfortunately, we can’t keep her, but she truly deserves a family that will love her and give her the time she needs. Please, if you can give her a home, don’t hesitate… she will fill your life with love 🐾❤️

Story
Hershey was rescued from an abandoned home. He's playful, energetic, and great with people. He needs a home with people that can spend some time with him -- we cannot provide him the attention I believe he needs. He adjusted well to our home, but keeps trying to attack the cats. He's fine with our geriatric German Shepherd, but a home with another younger dog that can match his energy, would be ideal. I guess that he's 2 to 3 years old. We are moving across the country and can't take him and the cats together.

Story
Ollie is 6 years old. He’s a very calm and loving boy. He loves going on walks, cuddling, and playing ball! Ollie does best in a quieter/calm environment which is why we need to rehome, with 2 children now that is just no longer the case in our home. He has never bitten anyone but he does not feel comfortable around young children and would thrive in a home with older kids that understand boundaries or no kids, where he can have the space he needs. He was born with hip dysplasia but no treatment/meds required for it. He also gets along great with other dogs and cats. He seriously has so much love to give so we hope to find him the perfect home.

Story
Raisin is a 6 month old Shar Pei mix with a heart of gold. Raisin was found dumped along side a country road at the age of just 3 months. He was suffering from very dry skin and a painful ear infection, yet all he would do was love on anyone willing to give him just a minute or two of their time. Raisin has been treated for his skin with medicated baths and diet. He was given antibiotics for the ear infection and with a continued at home ear cleaning routine, he has done very well. Raisin has been fully vaccinated, dewormed, neutered and microchipped. Raisin loves everyone he meets, although he may take just a little bit to warm up to them. He does great with other dogs and cats. He currently lives with other dogs weighing from 5 lbs to 140 lbs and plays well with them all. He know he can rough house with the bigger ones and some simple play time for the littles. Raisin is a very good eater and currently gets salmon oil with his meals to keep his skin healthy. He is house and potty trained with no accidents. He goes into his nighttime crate very well, knowing a small treat will follow. He knows sit and he he knows the wait command when being given a treat. He walks great on a leash and does not pull. He loves going on outings to the pet store, Lowes and the park. He rides well in the car and jumps right in. Raisin can be left out for 3-4 hours with no issues. He is currently only crated at night. He lives the play hard sleep hard lifestyle. If he's not wrestling one of his fur buddies or playing tug of war with his rope, you can usually find him curled up on the couch or his doggy bed snoring away. Please be aware of the continued care a Shar Pei tends to involve before putting in your application. Raisin is definitely worth it.
