Cinder was surrendered due to circumstances beyond her control.  She is a beautiful, high energy girl that is continued training.  She successfully completed training with Off Leash K-9 but unfortunately her continued training and practice was not kept up.  Cinder is no couch potato, she is highly active and will require a family who can keep up with her and direct her energy.  She did live with smaller dogs which she did fine with unless their was a bone involved.  She does not like to be bothered when she has her bone.  There was no problems with food.  Cinder is not a dog for first time Shepherd owners and will require a family with experience with working line dogs.  Daily activity is a must as is ongoing training.  She would do well in agility or another type of job based activity like nose work.  A tired dog is a good dog.

Bailey along with her brother Baxter found themselves at a shelter after they kept escaping an electric/invisible fence and chasing the cattle.  Hmmm, imagine that they are herding dogs after all.  They are obviously smart and knew what they were born to do.  They are very bonded so we are hoping that a family will have enough room and love to adopt them together.  They did well with children they met, but would prefer not to share their home or people with cats.  They are a very sweet pair.

Valeska is a beautiful German Shepherd/Husky mix, lovingly known as a Shusky.  She came to us from a shelter so we do not know anything about her past.  We do know that she is sweet and friendly.  She is now enjoying the comforts of a foster home.  Please watch for updates as her foster family learns more about her.

Duke having only ever been seen by a vet once, for hair loss and treatment was not followed, was brought back a year later to the same vet.  His person brought him in, told the staff to euthanize him and walked out.  Duke is such sweet soul that the vet decided to reach out to rescue, knowing that with medical care, some TLC, good nutrition and a loving family Duke deserved more than to be euthanized.  

He is currently in medical boarding with our vet having a complete work up, tests and receiving meds to bring him some relieve.  Once feeling better he will have his vaccines.

Duke has hair loss, sores on his skin, scabs and both ears infected from years of neglect.  It is believed to be caused by allergies.  Even in his current painful condition he is as sweet as can be.

Donations to his medical care are greatly needed and very much appreciated.  

Kailey made her way to us from a shelter where her time was running out.  She is approximately 1 year old, friendly and full of life.  She is looking for a forever family who will help learn all that she needs to know to be a well mannered family member.  Training of course will help this, along with creating a lifelong bond.  Ask to meet sweet Kailey.

Ginger was surrendered to us through no fault of her own. She was not abused or neglected. But unfortunately, her family did not have enough time for her. She's a very nice, confident, outgoing, beautiful girl who has a lot going for her! She's already had some obedience training, knows her basic commands in German and is crate trained. Her family reported that she was great with their young children and newborn child. She's an active and intelligent girl who loves to go for car rides and loves to play fetch with the ball. She would benefit from being in a home where she will have daily activity and exercise with a family that will commit to her for the rest of her life. We will provide further updates as we learn more about her.

Sally was a stray and ended up in a shelter.  She is an adorable Shepherd mix that would enjoy a forever family of her very own.  She did well during her cat and dog test.  We believe she should do well with children, but she has not met any while in our care.  Training to teach her manners is of course needed as it is with all of our dogs.  Training also helps to create a bond with her new family.

We have no idea how this sweet girl ended up in a shelter with no one looking for her.  She is an absolute doll.  She is understandably a little unsure with all of the changes in her life, but once in a foster home she is feeling safe. Belly rubs are favorite, you can never give too many.  Duchess is hoping to find a family that will love and commit to her for her lifetime.

George lived on a farm with livestock which was not the life for George.  He lived with other dogs and indoor cats but George was too focused on the livestock, going after them any chance he had.   George is a friendly big boy with those he meets, he enjoys swimming and going for walks.  He often frequented his local home improvement store with his family.  He does get excited when meeting new dogs, a slow proper introduction is needed.  George is now looking for a home that he does not have to share with livestock, they are just too tempting for him. 

Jasper, along with his brothers, Herb and Malakai, were farm dogs, living outside free to roam where ever they wanted to.  Often times they ate trash and anything else they could find. 

Meet the very handsome Gunnar.  Sadly Gunnar's family who love him dearly had to surrender him to us, not a decision they made lightly.  Gunnar has been part of their family for 3 years, was a big part in their 3 young children's lives and a buddy to their older 3 legged male GSD.

Unexpectedly one day Gunnar decided to challenge the older GSD for the alpha position, which did not go over well.  The family was faced with the difficult decision of how they were going to keep both boys safe.  Having the dogs live separately in the same home, they were not able to provide enough quality time for them both.  The very hard decision was made to rehome Gunnar.  

As you can imagine Gunnar is somewhat confused at this time.  He obviously is unsure of his new surroundings and the new people caring for him.  It takes a little time for him to relax with new people, but once he feels safe he happily joins our volunteers for walks and some loving.  He is very typical of the breed in that he wants to protect his family and home from strangers.  Given proper introductions and some tasty treats he quickly welcomes people into his space.  Gunnar is going to need patience as he adjusts to his new life.  Training with Gunnar will help this along as well as create a nice bond with his new family.

Meet our new boy, Myles! He found himself without a home through no fault of his own due to a crisis in his family. He was not taken care of and appears to have been mistreated as well. Now that he is with us, he is now finding out what it is like to be cared for and to receive affection. He is standoffish when first meeting new people as he seems to not have had a lot of socialization with strangers. But he warms up if you go slow with the introduction. He has quickly bonded to those who are working with him. Today he was enjoying himself with the volunteers that he is most bonded to. He went on a nice walk, is taking treats gently, was playing with a new ball and was lying in the warm sun and receive belly scratches. In return, he was giving kisses and we couldn't have asked for a better behaved boy, especially after all of what he has been through.

Myles is also being socialized with other dogs and he is doing very well with this. Although, he likes to take things slow with the other dogs he meets and does not like a dog to get in his face too quickly. He rides very well in a vehicle and really likes to go exploring and experiencing new things.

Myles would benefit from being in a home with experienced, confident, consistent, knowledgeable people who understand how to properly socialize dogs. What he needs right now is consistency, leadership and to be loved; all of which will help him understand that he will never be hurt by anyone ever again. He would be an excellent candidate to attend group dog training classes as this will only help with his socialization.

We know Myles is a strikingly handsome boy. But what is more important is that people see him for the dog that he is and not only his handsome looks.

We will continue to update you as we learn more about him.

Calibur is looking for a new  home and family as his previous family had no time to properly care for  him.  He is underweight and has flea dermatitis but with good nutrition and proper care he will be in tip top shape in no time.  He lived in his previous home with young children.  We have no knowledge how he does with cats.  He is in need of training, this will teach him proper leash skills and good canine manners.  Calibur is a friendly boy and would love to be in a home with his new family....could that be you?

Bronco has not had a very good life. He has lived his life on a chain with his companion a Cocker Spaniel. They were not well cared for, never shown the love of humans, proper care or the comforts of a home. Brunco is a sweet, friendly and affectionate boy looking for a family who will show him that humans are good. He can become overly excited when playing and will be mouthy, this is why we recommend older children. He does take correction well. He will need a family with patience as he has so much too learn about being a good houseguest and proper dog manners. He has what it takes, he just needs a person to commit to his training.

Kerouac was found as a stray and taken to a shelter.  It is obvious by his weight and skin condition that he has either been on the run for a while or not well cared for in his previous home.  He currently weighs 84 lbs but should weigh closer to a 100 lbs, nothing that regular, good nutritional meals wouldn't take care of.  He also was covered with fleas which caused flea dermatitis, he is now flea free and his skin is on the mend.  Kerouac Is a very sweet, laid back boy who loves people.  He bonds quickly.  He is indifferent to other dogs, so he can live with or without other dogs in his new home.  This gentle soul is now ready to start life anew, please consider Kerouac when asking to meet our dogs.

Cali cannot be any cuter and is absolutely a great little girl, happy go lucky and loves to give puppy kisses. Cali has a lot to learn about going a good canine citizen and will require training.
