Story
Jax is a big sweetheart of a guy! He’s still young and needs a fenced in yard to play and run around. He gets along with other dogs and loves people. Due to his size, he may not be suitable for a home with small children unless supervised. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body but doesn’t realize how big he is. He would make a wonderful addition to an active family. He is fully vetted and microchipped.Home visit required prior to adoption.

Story
Jet is such a sweet soul. He is the first dog I ever owned, and I got him because I had been living alone and was getting into a terrible funk. He got me up and out and playing again. He loves to play tug of war and boy is he strong, gave me a serious upper body workout. Every day we would be out at a park, a trail or just tossing his ball around and playing tug of war. At the end of the day he will sit with me and watch the sun go down. One of my biggest fears was him having accidents in the house. He is an awesome communicator when it comes to that. He is not big on toys, especially the ones that make noise. He is afraid of them, LOL. He does love his rope and ball. When I injured my knee and had, Jet was right by my side during my recovery. When we walked up a hill, he would help me out a little by pulling me a bit so I wouldn't have to work so hard. Jet is so affectionate. I think he sensed I didn't know what I was doing as a dog mom, so he was patient with me.

Story
Adopter must meet following criteria: 1. Experience with dogs 2. Retired/ work from home 3. No pets or small children in home 4. Willingness/ patience to give Shade time to adjust to new home 5. Must have a fenced yard Shade is the most loving dog I have ever had. I’m only rehoming her because she’s become so attached to me that she has become jealous and aggressive towards my 4 smaller dogs. She loves to cuddle but enjoys time lounging in her open crate or her dog bed-anywhere near her person! She has always slept in a closed crate at night (because of the smaller dogs) and has never made a peep! She rides well. She’s not been around strange dogs so she gets very excited at the vet’s office. She’s never been destructive in the house, but has brought in a tree limb thru the doggie door! She likes to chase birds as they fly and squirrels as they run along the fence. She’s never dug a hole! She’s content giving her love to her human. She’s had my heart. Will you give her yours?

Story
I adopted Benny from a shelter and he was abused by his previous owner. Since coming into our home he has done very well and has been very trainable. He is well mannered and loving. He is no longer afraid and has adjusted well. Unfortunately my shepherd is attached to me so much she will not accept Benny and we have to keep them separated. He doesn't mind her but she will not accept him. He gets along well with my little terrier fine. He is kennel trained but doesn't need to be in one he doesn't tear anything up or get into stuff. He just wants to be part of the family and play with his toys, but I have to kennel him at times because of my other dog. I don't want to rehome him but feel I need to for him to thrive and have the best life. He is an excellent boy. He deserves a better situation than what I can do for him right now. I want the best possible outcome for him he deserves it from everything he has went through. He shows no aggression whatsoever just love. Good family dog.

Flash is the perfect family dog and even has a perfect paw print marking on her side. She is part Australian shepherd and possible Border Collie, which makes her a very smart dog.

Story
Itty Bitty is just the right size for someone looking for a medium size dog. At 32 pounds and 6 years old, she will make an excellent companion. She is affectionate and people friendly but she can be dog selective with larger dogs due to her small size. She walks well on a leash and she does not mind being by herself when you are not home. She crates well and rides well in the car. She is a cute m, small package waiting on her perfect companion.
