Story
Meet Juno, a 1.5 year old, 34 lbs, female Border Collie/Australian Shepherd. We rescued her 8-9-24, hoping to give her a life in the city with folks who love running and hiking. She's had a check-up and is up-to-date on all vaccines. Unfortunately, it became quickly apparent that she is not well-suited to city life; fearful of strangers, cars, cats, and dogs, all inescapable realities around our house with no yard. At its worst, this has shown as aggression with little warning: lunging, snapping, and barking. At her best, Juno is very sweet and playful! She likes squeaky toys, long long walks, and peanutbutter. She really needs an experienced hand, (and preferably a yard) and we can't provide that for her now. What we love about Juno: Intelligent Eager to please High energy Beautiful coat Food motivated Loose leash walker (when no one is around)

I got him from the Virginia spca a few years ago. He loves to be on your lap and sleep next to you. He doesn't require long walks. I moved to cleveland and unfortunately I am away a lot for work. He would love to be a part of a family who is home often and doesn't mind him laying on your lap.

Mavis is an extraordinary girl! She's incredibly smart, loyal, funny protective & and extremely loving. She is spayed and knows her commands like sit, stay, and knows how to shake. Her recall is exceptional, and she responds instantly. I'm going to be devastated to see her find her forever new home, but I have my own pit.Bull that is not dog friendly.

Story
My boyfriend got me Culture because i wanted a dog. We got him from an abusive household so he is very scary when meeting new people. He is only 1 year and 5 months old. I’m looking for someone who’s affectionate and loves dogs. Someone who has patience and is willing to earn his trust. He’s very loving, super affectionate, he’s just a big baby that wants attention. He loves to be under you. He has separation anxiety once he knows you. He’s super shy at first but he is a joy to be around.

Story
Zeus is about 2.5 years old have had him since a puppy. Protective dog and constantly on alert, but also a big baby at heart that wants to lick you and get belly rubs. As a new business owner my schedule does not permit me to give him the time he deserves. I am seeking good family for him with enough time to give him the attention and exercise this breed needs.
