Story
Biscuit is a very energetic, young dog looking for a home with some patience and stability. His ideal family will be home often as the thought of being without his people is just crazy talk. He has lived with other dogs in the past/grown up with them, but he may be a bit much for smaller dogs or ones that can't keep up with his energy level. Biscuit knows that there will be some growing pains between you and him, but he hopes you'll stick it out together! His foster says "Biscuit was initially a bit of a handful, but he's steadily improved every single day. He quickly made it known that he’s not a fan of being left in his crate, even for short periods of time. However, after about five days of consistency, things calmed down considerably. There’s still some crying when he’s in the crate, but much less barking, and he’s much more willing to go in, needing just a gentle nudge without much fuss. When he’s out in the house, he’s very playful with my dog, who is about the same size. They get pretty rowdy and sometimes a bit out of hand, but he responds well to correction. They also spend a lot of time lounging on the couch, and Biscuit is a big cuddler! His coat is incredibly soft, and he absolutely loves being petted and touched. When I have company, Biscuit has been very well-mannered and friendly. He immediately greets guests with a wagging tail, a wiggly butt, and lots of licks. Biscuit’s main challenges are house and crate training, as well as some resource guarding of his food around other animals. He hasn’t shown any of this behavior toward me, but I would recommend being cautious around young children or other pets."

Story
Chief is the best of boys. A smart dog who just wants love and attention. Someone with time and experience can give him the life he deserves and have one of the best dogs of their life. He deserves so much more than Im able to provide. He is very intelligent, energetic, and loves to play fetch, swim, and loves some good cuddle time. Great with kids but can be a little much at times with his size, had an issue with a male dog in the past, but no aggression shown towards people.

Story
Hello! We adopted Diablo when he was only a couple months old, and now he is almost 3. He is a very good boy and is house trained. Sadly our schedule has changed too much to the point that it is unfair for him :(. We are looking for a loving home that will have time to play with him, take him on walks, and give him all the snuggles. He loves playing with other dogs, but we are not sure how he gets along with cats. He is also great with kids as he is gentle and patient with them. He is a very goofy boy and is guaranteed to make you smile and laugh. While he loves to play and run around, he also loves to snuggle and chill out.

Story
Tank is a great dog. He had 12 brothers and sisters. His Mom was a full bread Labrador Retriever and his Dad was a German Shepard. He was born in December, 2022. We have a home in the country were he loves to lay around and he loves us to pet him. He is a tall, beautiful shiny black haired dog. We have two other dogs and we just can’t give them all the love they need. He loves to ride around in our truck, he is certainly a good watch dog. We would love to have him go somewhere, he would be taken good care of.

Story
Sasha is super playful. Has lots of bounce in her step and is a very happy fun girl. She has gotten along well with every dog she has been around and does not pay any attention to the cats, so she might be ok with them as well. She does run a little funny. Not sure if that was the vehicle collision or something else, but it doesn’t stop her from running around. She just looks a little goofy doing it. She loves affection. We have never heard her bark. Even when everyone else is barking she’s quiet and just waits for her turn. She has not used the bathroom in her kennel at all. She’s a very good dog.
