Story
Bella is 1.5 years old. She’s very high energy and loves attention. She has bad separation anxiety, but doesn’t tear anything up when you leave her. She’s been attacked by other dogs in the past so she’s cautious when meeting new dogs. She doesn’t hate cats. She just likes chasing them and tries to play. She knows her basic commands (sit, stay, lay down, off, shake) she’s very smart so she is easy to train. I’m looking for someone to provide the same love and care I’ve given her. I don’t want to give her up. It’s breaking my heart even doing this, but my landlord wants her gone. It’s this or being homeless and that would be worse for the both of us. She needs patience because she is so high energy and lots of space to run around and play. She loves bones, sticks, treats, playing fetch. I just want her to have a loving home again. Where I’m not going to worry about if she’s okay. I want to be sure she is living and loving life.

Story
Gotham was born to be part of a family. He adores people, exploring, playing with kids, and other dogs/cats. For the 1st 2 years of his life he was a registered therapy animal for a soldier with PTSD. Gotham was trained as a pup to help his human. Unfortunately, his human wasn't trained to work with Gotham. He became abusive and neglectful of this beautiful boy. It caused Gotham to develop severe anxiety of his own. We have fostered him since June and would love to be his forever family but do not have the resources to do so. He is a sheer joy when it comes to cuddles, playtime, or family time. His favorite playmate is a miniature Chihuahua. You can see them in 1the video. Gotham cannot deal with being crated. It terrifies him. You cannot grab him by the scruff of the neck. He will grab your forearm and utter a warning growl. NOTE! Holds your arm NOT bites! ♥️s to sit regally for car rides. Very difficult to leash walk. Loves to learn new tricks. Beneath fence to explore.

Story
We got Lexie as a puppy. She is a mix between Australian Shepherd, border collie, red healer, and lab. She has had two shots. She has been spayed. She went to obedience school. She is not house trained. Mostly an outside dog. We let her inside a couple of times during the day. She loves playing fetch. She is rough with cats. We have a cat and they play very rough with each other. She would be happy in a fenced yard. She loves people and children. She gets very excited when grandchildren come over. She will jump up on them when they first arrive but settles down once they are here. She loves to go camping. She gets nervous around other dogs but after awhile she is good with them. She is 1 1/2 years old.

Story
Isabell was adopted in 2017 in southern Idaho. She appeared to have had many litters of puppies and I had her spayed. She’s a sweet girl, very good around families and children. Not so great with other dogs as she has not been socialized in the last year due to our living situation. Prior to this however she was very good around other dogs. She just needs time to spend around other dogs which I have not been able to offer her. Great personality, loves to play, stomach very sensitive. Amount of table scraps limited due to stomach sensitivity, she needs regular walks to be able to stool, and is prone to bloat due to her breed. She needs a fenced yard, she has some training and is an intelligent girl. I will be traveling for my job, and she is not suitable for traveling since she becomes stressed with inconsistency. She needs a loving stable home and will give someone and their family much love in return. I will miss this girl tremendously 😢 She is loved greatly.

Story
Jenny wants to go anywhere you go. We rescued her from the humane society 18 months ago. She had been severely abused by her previous owners; it took us 2-3 months to gain her trust in leaving the house and knowing we would come back. Walks are still hard as she gets scared of other people within sight. She absolutely loves being outside, is quick enough to catch birds and would do amazing on a farm or somewhere with a giant yard. She is an amazing little hiking buddy, we’ve taken her to multiple lakes, mountain & desert hikes. We love her, however we had an unexpected baby and Jenny is very jealous of her. She seems to do okay with older children but does not interact well with an infant. She is extremely terrified of men so it might take a little time for her to warm up to any males in the household. She loves tennis balls and squeaky toys. She also does amazing in the car and will quietly sit next to you or poke her nose out the window, loads herself very easily.

Mickey is good natured but too hyperactive for my home. He is a 10 month old “herding dog” that needs acreage to run. Very active and friendly dog. Great watchdog. My home and yard are just too small for him.
