Story
Duke is a very sweet American Staffordshire Terrior! Born in October 2023, so less than 1 year old. He is good with cats, other dogs, and kids. He is 100% potty trained and crate trained for bed time. With some time and patience, he will be an amazing dog, just right now he is very hyper. We can't give him the time he deserves and he spends too much time alone. He craves companionship. He loves to cuddle! He would be best suited in a home with people who have more time to spend with him. We love him but to be fair to him, we are rehoming him. There is no re-homing fee and he will come with his crate, toys, bed, and a bag of dog food.

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.
