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.

Baxter along with his sister Bailey 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.

Maxx had a family of his own since he was a puppy, sadly his family decided to get a new puppy.  Well that was the end of Maxx as they devoted their time to the puppy and dumped Maxx.  He did not deserve to be tossed aside or replaced by a puppy.

Maxx is now looking for a family who will love and cherish him for the rest of his life.  Maxx is pretty much a blank slate, not having had much in the way of training, structure or guidance.  He is a smart boy and willing to learn if someone is willing to take the time to teach him.  For your time and patience Maxx will reward you with a lifetime of devotion.

Claire found herself at a shelter where space was limited so her time was running out.  While at the shelter she was cat tested and did fine with them.  Claire is a sweet girl who enjoys cuddles from her people.  She needs to brush up on her manners, leash skills and not jumping up on people will be mastered during training classes. 

Chauncey is a 7 month old, full of energy boy that is in need of guidance, training and boundaries.  He is coming of the age where he is testing the waters to see how much he can get away with.  He requires socialization with new people as he will be protective of his family.  He needs to learn that his person has control of situations and that he can relax and let down his guard.  A happy dog is well exercised dog, both physically and mentally.  Lots of games, walks, runs and working on his training will help Chauncey with his energy.  Chauncey is not for first time dog families, he is best suited for an experienced family who has the time, patience and commitment to help Chauncey be a well mannered canine citizen.

Aspen was surrendered as the older male GSD in the home decided that he no longer wanted her there and was starting fights with her. Her family loved her very much but realized that it was not fair having to keep them separated. Aspen is now looking for a new home and family who will care for her for the rest of her life.
