Story
Brady is between 10-12 years old. He has been an amazing companion for his aging owner, and even cuddled with her through her last few days. He loves to sit on laps, and would be a great companion for a quiet person who just need someone to sit with them. He is very sociable and friendly. He's taken good care of his mom for years, now he needs someone who will give him lots of love.

Story
We bought her when she was a puppy. We did pretty good training her for the first little while and then our schedules got in the way. She is very smart and has a tone of energy. She runs around in the yard non-stop in circles. She knows sit, lay, stay, roll over, 360 (spins in a circle), and jumps through your arms. She is potty trained and crate trained. She will go right into her kennel and sleeps in her kennel. She loves to be scratched. She is pretty protective around home and barks at strangers. She has not been socialized and is unpredictable around strangers, meaning she may bite. I don't really know because she has not been socialized or around many strangers. She gets very excited when you greet her and will sometimes jump up on you. She does good walking on a leash and you can get her to walk in the heel position but we haven't done it a lot so you need to work with her.

Story
I have had Lola for 10 years. She’s the best dog! Lazy but also loves to go for walks and play tug of war. I’m a single mom with two babies and just moved into an apartment from a house. I have health issues and keep having surgery. It’s gasses for me to take her potty let alone a walk. She needs a good loving home that can give her C the attention she deserves. It breaks my heart but she deserves more than I can give her right now

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ella was adopted as a rescue from a local shelter in 2016. At the time it was evident that Ella had already carried puppies. We were unsure of her age, but assume approximately 2 years. That makes her now roughly 10-12 years old. We have done DNA testing and Ella has a little bit of everything as a part of her make up! Ella does not have any health issues & does not have any history of health concerns. Her DNA test came back negative for any degenerative concerns. Ella is a very sweet dog and has a caring temperament. Ella is full of energy all the time and maintains a pretty steady level of anxiety. She has been trained & exercised consistently. Ella sleeps in her kennel ~10 hours/night. We are only interested in adopting Ella to someone who has time to give her exercise and loving care. We love Ella a lot, but her needs exceed what we are able to provide as we have other pets and young children. Ella is comfortable staying at a boarding facility when we travel & enjoys other dogs.

Story
Scallop is a Akbash mix, almost 4 years old. She has been great with my four kids ages 6 to 16 & my male lab mix, but cannot seem to get along with my female Frenchie. She has shown signs of dog aggression, so would need to go to someone with experience in this field. She is incredibly sweet with humans, but has been very hard to train, she loves to roam the perimeter and it is an escape artist. She needs tons of space, exercise and stimulation. I will not rehome Scallop without meeting the entire family and visiting the house where she is going g to live.
