Story
Cash is a very smart and loyal dog but he does not get along with my other Cattle Dog. He has attacked my other Heeler a few times and likely needs to go to a home with no other pets. He loves to play ball, knows how to sit, shake, lay down and is very treat driven. My significant other is afraid of him and says he has to go. He is crate trained and house broken.

Story
A loving and playful companion, but is ACTIVE! Boots is a highly energetic 7 month old puppy born 3/23/25 with an expected weight of 80 to 90 pounds. Mom is a great pyrenees and the Dad is a registered yellow lab making him a pyrador breed (very smart). Boots maintains eight to ten hours of sleep per night and sleeps throughout the day when exercised daily. With that said, he is extremely energetic and needs a lot of play time at the dog park or a large yard. He is socialized via dog park visits and loves every dog and person he comes into contact with. He is fully potty trained. We don't have the time it takes to bring him to his full potential. He is a wonderful dog and very trainable. We love him, but can't provide the larger house and yard that is needed. He deserves a loving home and an individual or family that has time to grow with him. His large kennel and toys will go to the adoptee.

Story
Hi, this is my sweet Bella. She will be 7 years old next year. I got her three years ago from a prior relationship. She's the sweetest girl I know but she is extremely hyperactive. I would prefer her to go to an older person(s) or someone that majority works from home. She has separation anxiety so she does whine and bark when you leave. I work two jobs right now and can't give her the time and attention that she needs. She was attacked by a pitbull and survived, she's perfectly fine besides her jaw healing slightly crooked so I do feed her softer foods or kibble that's crushed up or blended with water. I want someone that will take care of her and love her properly.

Story
We have had Scruff since he was 6 weeks old. He is very energetic and lovable. He enjoys running and playing outside. Unfortunately we don’t have a fence and I am not able to give him the life he deserves. He has a crate, bed, food bowls, leashes, etc. I just want him to go to a family that can provide the adventurous life that he craves.
