Story
Milo is a sweet boy with lots of energy. He was born August 30, 2023. He is kennel trained and potty trained. Unfortunately I bought him from some people who said he had got along with cats. That is not true and I have a cat so this situation won’t work long term. He currently lives with a Bassett hound and a 6 year old.

Story
Meet Ninja – Your Loyal, Gentle, and Unique American Akita Companion Ninja is a gorgeous five-year-old American Akita who’s seeking her forever family. She’s been in our care due to my daughter’s health situation, and now we’re looking to find her a stable, loving home. Here’s why Ninja would make a fantastic addition to the right family: Loyal and Quiet: Ninja’s loyalty knows no bounds. She doesn’t bark or whine and has a calm, respectful presence. However, if you talk to her, she’ll “talk” back in her own way—she has a personality you’ll love getting to know! Perfectly Well-Mannered: Ninja is wonderful with kids and friendly with other dogs her size once introduced. She’s protective without being aggressive, adding a layer of warmth and security to her family. Loves the Simple Joys: While she enjoys being active, Ninja is happiest on a nice walk where she can take in the sights and smells. She especially loves sniffing flowers and enjoying nature. Treat Enthusiast: Give her a treat

Hi, I'm Tanner! I am a ball of energy and I love to play! I am very nervous around new people and will take some time to warm up. But once I get comfortable, I am your best friend! I am not sure about other dogs yet but it is definitely possible for me to have dog friends. I LOVE treats, they are the way to my heart! Please stop by or call my friends at Journey Home if you are interested in meeting me!

Story
Would do best in a home with a fenced in yard so he can burn energy daily. Loki has been to a 3 week board and train program through Art of the Dog Canine Academy. He is leash/crate/house trained. Loki uses an e-collar to correct his mannerisms and it works well. We are unsure of how he would do around other dogs outside of our home. Loki gets along well with our other dog but he was a hit/miss with our oldest dog that has since passed. He is good with older children (does great with our 11 year old) and cats. Loki has growled at our toddler a couple of times now so we recommend a house with older kids if any. He is protective of his food/bones. We need to rehome him because we are moving, don't feel the most comfortable with him around our toddler, and have a baby on the way.
