Story
Bella is a great dog and her rehoming is due to no fault of her own. I've had her for about a year, and everything has drastically changed for me recently, leaving me unable to give her the time she deserves. She's not super high energy, but she really enjoys walks and car rides for pup cups. She's super friendly but also protective of her humans. Gets along great with cats, but is very dominant towards dogs (especially females). She loves to lay beside you with a bone and just be by your side. She was my first pupper and also my protector, as I live in a not so great area. She is slightly underweight (by 8 pounds) because I had to treat her for whip worms (doggie tape worms) and she needs to gain the weight slowly. She loves children and my neighbors kids all pet her when she's outside. She's VERY much a velcro dog, and loves to be by your feet 24/7 if you let her, weather your in the shower or bed! I would love to keep in contact with her new owners.. she's my baby♥︎

Juno is 3 years old and a pure bred German Shepherd. He has lots of energy and needs plenty of room. He does best with older children. He is very sweet and has never bit anyone or any animal but can get excited and knock over small children. We do have a small baby now and need to find Juno a love and caring home. He has been neutered in March 2024. He is very loving and will make a great pet! He also knows how to shake, sit and lay down. He also is crate trained.

Our adult son found a stray a while back and started taking care of her. Since then he has had several medical issues arise and he is not able to take care of her. We have small dogs already and they all get along without any issues. Unknown how she is with cats, we have some wild ones in the neighborhood and she doesn't seem to care. She gets along great with our young daughter.

Story
Bravo is a sweet and super happy 3 legged pup. She lost her front leg due to a car accident. Although that was a very long recovery, Bravo has adapted so well and it hasn’t slowed her down a bit!. She is obsessed with playing fetch and swimming, she loves hiking, kayaking, running and chasing dogs at the dog park, car rides, going to the store, walking around the neighborhood or simply hanging around the campfire… you name it, she loves to do it with you. She is trained on an electric collar and has great recall. I rarely ever walk her on leash and just use the e collar. She is trained, very obedient and smart and is definitely a working line dog. She will play fetch all day every day if you are willing. She doesn’t chew on furniture or anything she isn’t supposed to, she can be cuddly, but also very independent at the same time. Bravo is very sweet and full of life, and she truly is a great dog. She deserves someone that has more time to devote to her and take her on adventures.

Bella is beautiful dog who loves to walk on leash. She was dumped by a rescuer who moved out of my trailer so I had to give her a new name. She will make a wonderful dog for a family. Must have a large fenced yard to play in. I will have to have vet check to see if she has been spayed or needs to be.
