Great dog, but it belongs to someone that no longer lives in the home. I would keep, but I already have another dog and 2 kids with busy schedules. Just cannot give Cash the attention he needs/deserves. Great with other dogs and kids!

Story
We are heartbroken to rehome our beloved dog, Rocky. He’s a 4-year-old, 50lb black lab mix with a loving, affectionate personality. Rocky thrives on cuddles, playtime, and being close to his people—he’s the ultimate snuggle buddy. Since our recent move, Rocky has struggled with house training, and despite our best efforts, we believe the change in environment has been hard on him. Our home can be loud, with two energetic males who have ADHD, and we’ve noticed that the noise and activity have affected him negatively. We want Rocky to have the best life possible, and we believe he would do best in a calm, stable home—possibly as the only pet—where he can receive one-on-one attention. He has a strong bond with me (mom) and is always by my side. Rocky is fully vaccinated, neutered, and ready to bring love to the right home. If you’re interested in giving this sweet pup a fresh start, please reach out. Serious inquiries only—this is an incredibly difficult decision for our family 🐾

Story
We got Bullet originally from Lincoln County Animal Services. He is playful, and has a bunch of energy, loves walking and being outdoors. He looks to us to be possibly a Jack Russell with something else mixed with him. He is a very loving dog and will cuddle up with his human companions. He does love his dog friends and will run around with them outside. He is house trained and crate trained. However, we have tried to work with him when it comes to our cats, but he doesn't seem to be very friendly towards them. He will need a home with no cats, but other dogs and kids will do fine. Bullet does catch on to basic commands and does know the basics like sit, paw, etc. He would make a wonderful hiking buddy and could go for miles if given. The only issue we have with him is that the way he is with our cats. Other than that, he is a wonderful dog and loves his human and fellow canine friends.

Story
PB for Pretty Boy. He was a stray. He was found to be shot with a BB gun, abused and scared of sharp noises and quick movements. He is extremely skittish and will run when frightened. He will need a secure fenced yard! As being retired we have gotten to know him well. He is house broken. He is not a barker. He won't bark outside even when he hears other dogs. We had him nurtured so it wouldn't be a stressful with going to a new home. He would do best in a calm home. He has no training for commands nor vocabulary He has never shown any aggression. I can put my hand in his food bowl. He would do well in a calm home. A military veteran could take advantage of free obedience training. He gets along with dogs, cats and people if they behave. He has never growled or shown his teeth. He is looking for love, trust and a fun environment. His potty breaks are approximately 12 hours apart. He is satisfied during the day inside with a bone to keep him amused. No regrets with this sweet dog!

Story
had my son for 7 years. He is family friendly. He is good with kids but he just cannot control his strength so I put no as he does like to lean and play rough as long as you watch him he should be fine. He is house trained by me. He knows to sit, paw, play dead, he knows how to hold his food until I tell him so. Sometimes he slips and will eat anyways. He is good with just about everything never bit anyone. I will say he is my only dog so hes never had any other dog take his food and i realized when he did eat along with others he would become territorial. I recommend feeding him and just let him eat till he is finished to play with him. Currently I am moving away and can no longer take him with me. I'm sad to let him go but my new place will not let me keep him. I want to find him a home where he will live the remaining of his life loved. If anyone is interested i do not need a rehoming fee. I just want someone to love him and take him in as I can no longer do that. Thank you.
