Story
Neptune is an unneutered male gsd/mix, I’m uncertain of the mix. He seems to be very protective, observant, smart but very goofy at times. Everything he does is 100% at full speed. Yr 1-2 weren’t bad there weren’t really any behavioral issues. He was was good and behaved as you would expect a puppy to behave I guess. We lived in a house with 4 people and 2 other dogs. One of my roommates and I noticed that he’d become aggressive when my roommate tried hug me. He was still small at the time and we thought it was funny. I had to move out the home and into an apartment. As he got older and bigger he became more reactive towards passersby and other dogs, so I started limiting the distance of our walks, and decided I would try more training. To try and build better habits. It was difficult to try and pin point what his triggers were but I could find no consistency in his reactions. I can only assume that he was/is trying to be protective. I’ve tried to work with for as long as I could.

Story
Wonderful 2 year old Bordoodle, affectionate, cuddly, playful, energetic, highly intelligent. We have been fostering him since his owner died a year ago but it’s time for his forever home (we love him so much but we just have too many animals). He is a really good boy but he needs attention or he will steal your socks and underwear! He actually does not eat shoes and has learned our house rules very well. He is very healthy, loves to play with our other dogs, respects our house bunnies, and could learn to be a working farm dog with some training (we have chickens). Great family dog or companion for anyone willing to give him love and attention. We want him to go to a stable home where he gets lots of love and exercise, please understand we will be selective and take our time if necessary to find the right situation for him.

Story
I acquired dioji from a family friend due to some financial issues he no longer could take care of her. Dioji is going on about 2 years of age. I'm looking for a household that can give her the attention and love she deserves and one that likes to be active. Dioji is a shy dog and will need time to get accustomed to her new owner and surroundings, she's afraid of most people and any sort of sound like cars ect.

Female, Adult
Graham, WA
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rai (or RaiRai or Raider) was born August of 2020. Being there for her birth, I fell in love with her immediately. She’s an absolute, sweetheart however she does not recognize how big she is. Her favorite toys are oversized, tennis balls that she treats like they are her babies. She is still very active and loves to play. I don’t feel like she understand kids or how to play with them safely. I would prefer someone who has experience with large breed dogs as it is very different. I will include all of her stuff including an oversized dog door if you want it. I have vet records and she is up to date on shots. No health issues. I am unsure of her weight but it is over 150. She can peek over our 6 foot fence when she wants. She has dog beds and uses them but loves being on the couch or on the bed when allowed. Stands in tub for her baths without any issues. Loves running through the sprinkler in the summer.
