Story
2 years ago my nephew pasted away and I got custody of his son at birth. Chase was 8yrs old at the time and tolerated it okay, some jealous. Now 2yrs late he has lightly bite the baby. Chase is a good dog, he is very attracted to me so this will be a big transition. He doesn't need to be around kids that try to touch him. He barks a lot and will Chase a bike or motorcycle if let outside.. so prefer fenced in yard. He acts mean when someone comes over but if they will stop and give him a minute to smell them he is fine. I've had Chase since birth so this is very hard for me but can't have him biting the baby for touching him or taking his treat... help... there is no fee to a good person

Story
Sadie is a very affectionate dog. She shows tons of energy while playing (which she always loves to do) and is also more than ready at all times to snuggle up for a nap. She is house trained, leash trained, and obedience trained. She loves to go on walks no matter the time. Sadie was found abandoned in the woods after being released from her house. We were told that she was likely alone for a few weeks. With that said, we believe that she may have developed some kind of anxiety disorder that prevents her from being around other dogs or animals. She has never bitten anyone. We have tried most options under the sun, to include training with a professional, to help her with her social problems, but it has been made clear that she would most benefit in a loving family with no other dogs or small children (we have noticed that she is not very patient with our baby and gives many warnings to leave her alone). She is a great companion and a good listener. Please be patient with her.

Story
Ghost is an absolutely amazing dog! He thinks he’s a lap dog, loves being outdoors and running fast! He is protective and only barks if someone approaches and outside door. He is used to jets flying over the house and two toddlers running around so loud sounds and fast moving things don’t bother him. He absolutely loves to play catch. We did work with a trainer and so he knows sit, stay, lay down, 360, drop it, “paw” for a handshake! He’s not good at not pulling on a leash. It’s the one thing we couldn’t get him to stop doing. He’s great with cats. I will say her probably needs another dog in the household as he gets anxious when he’s on his own and bored. His previous owners (as a puppy) did not crate train properly and he absolutely hates it now but loves being outside in a yard

Warden is the sweetest dog, he is 4 years old and extremely good with children. We unfortunately have to unfortunately him as his brother, a lab mix who is 8 years old, are not getting along. We recently added a neutered female to the group, and even though the two males got along, there has now been a power struggle for who is in charge and we have to separate them.
