Story
This is Athena, she is a mix breed adopted from the shelter in October estimated age is to be around 10/11 months. Unfortunately she needs to rehomed she is really a good girl and has had training classes so knows all basic commands, she does great with other dogs not so much with cats and if you have chickens she will try to get to them, she hasn’t killed one yet but has tried. I have described her to a few trainers and vets and they have told me that they believe she has dirty dog syndrome which is where a dog has developed the habit of going to the bathroom in their own sleeping area, like a crate, seemingly not caring about the mess, often because they were not properly housetrained or spent too much time in a dirty environment when young, making them view it as normal to soil their space and I am at a loss and unable to break the habit between work school and other responsibilities. She is free to a good home and I have all her vet records and spay certificate.

Story
We adopted this sweet boy in 2020. We are unsure of his age but we would guess around he is around 6 years old. Gatsby is the perfect family dog, he is as gentle as can be and is great with other animals and children. He has had lots of compliments from his groomers in the past with his behavior and sweetness. He does have a bit of anxiety when it comes to certain floor surfaces, but he loves to lay on carpet. He loves going outside and running around, but also is a great dog to snuggle with. He is fully house trained and responds to his name well when called. We hate to lose him, but as our family has grown and are now moving to a house without a yard, we feel he would be happier in a new home with a fenced in yard, ( he has been known to wander without a fence). Gatsby loves everyone he meets and we are sure he would adjust well with anyone. He is definitely an attention and affection seeker, so we highly recommend adopting him if you have time to show him some love!

Dixie belonged to my uncle who passed away in August of 2024. I have tried to find a home for her as I am not allowed to keep a "vicious breed". She was born around December 2022. She would do best with another big dog like her. She enjoys to be outside.

This beauty was adopted 6 yrs ago from here and was dumped in a kill shelter. We went straight and swooped her up. Ice is a sweet girl and lives people. She's good with other dogs just a bit standoffish at first. She lives children. She use to like cats but her foster now says she's to interested in them. Ice would love to be your forever best friend. She loves to cuddle
