Story
This sweet girl's name is Ophir. She is an AKC registered purebred six year old Husky. She is playful, gets along with everyone, and has lots of love to give. Ophir lives on our farm and she used to have a big pack of playmates for most of her life. Sadly everyone else has been adopted or passed away, so she is all alone. Ophir now spends her days sleeping and waiting for our cows to acknowledge her. We work full time and Ophir only gets about 20 or 30 minutes of attention per day. As we're slowly starting to retire our operations and getting older ourselves, we can no longer give this beautiful girl the attention that she truly deserves. We want to do everything we can to make sure she ends up with the right person or people. Please reach out if you are interested. I'm happy to connect you with other folks who have adopted from us before, for reference on the quality of our pets. The fee is open to discussion. Its purpose is to protect Ophir.

Rocket is a sweetheart who gets along with ever person he meets. Loves kids and is good with cats, small and large dogs. Our only issue in keeping him is we own an aggressive male dog who isn't rehomable. All Rocket wants to do is be with his people 24/7 and cuddle. He woul be good as family dog or even with a person who just needs companionship. He is house broken, neutered, and kennel trained.

Story
*Meet Rocky – Your Perfect Couch Potato Companion!* Looking for a loyal friend to binge-watch shows with but also enjoy a brisk walk now and then? Rocky’s your guy! This 6-year-old gentle fella loves to lounge and cuddle but still has plenty of pep in his step for those sunny park strolls. He’s the perfect balance of lazy and lively – a true low-maintenance buddy with a heart of gold. I adopted Rocky from a local shelter. He was surrendered from his original family due to an altercation with their other male pitbull. Rocky got along fine and was very gentle with my male mini dachshund and has done great with my female lab. Although Rocky never bothered my 2 cats they did not acclimate to having a big dog in the house leading me to rehome him to a coworker. Since then she could no longer keep him due to moving, he is back with me. My situation has not changed to allow me to keep Rocky. He is fixed, chipped, UTD on rabies, housebroken and crate trained. He also knows sit & paw.

Story
This sweet 3 year old giant schnauzer is looking for a new home. He is house trained and super friendly. He prefers baths outside and doesn’t mind being groomed or having his nails trimmed. He is a large lap dog who enjoys cuddles and sitting with you on the sofa. He doesn’t like to ride in the car and does have a bit of anxiety with all the recent changes. He is gentle, warm and just needs time get to know you. He enjoys attention from people and does great at the vet! His favorite hobby is rolling in the grass and his shots are up to date.
