Story
Gemma is a 4 year old queensland with a lot of energy. She is such a good girl. She is loveable great with kids and wants nothing more than to play fetch all day. I have recently learned she is an alpha female and would do best in a single dog home, or with a submissive dog. She is very intelligent and knows how to escape. Unfortunately in my newly moved into apartment and 16 hr shifts I'm afraid I do not have the time and space she needs/deserves. I love her to death but I think it is time she gets a forever home that can be there for her. She is high energy, understands basic commands and is a quick learner.

Story
Charlie is a very hyper, happy, little dog. His favorite thing to do is play catch! He's so good at running and finding the ball or toy and will bring it right back to you. Charlie needs a new home because I am moving to an apartment and he is not an inside dog and there is no backyard. He is amazing with kids and other animals. Charlie loves all friends and loves to explore.

Story
Ranger is a great friend and companion. Loves to go for rides in the car. Walks/runs with me very well. He's house broken and knows basic commands. THE ONLY reason we're looking for a better situation for him is that we've had to move and the new yard is slightly too small. Will only re-home to the perfect situation for this energetic 3 year old. Will be a tremendous friend if he gets to be an only dog. Very protective of our yard/property so he needs some room to run/bark. This is a great dog!
