Story
Piper is 8 years old. She is a sweet dog in need of a quiet home. She loves activity particularly chasing ball. She is good on a leash and knows all the basic commands. She very smart and trainable. She is 50/50 with other dogs. She is anxious around new people. She usually warms up if strangers ignore her when they first meet her. The only reason we are looking to re home her is that she has recently taking to snapping at our 3 children. She has never bitten anyone however with the unpredictability of children we are less than 100% confident that an incident will not happen and even a 1% chance is too much to risk if it can be avoided.

Story
I rescued Taz 4 years ago when he was a puppy and we have had an absolute blast since day 1! He is great with my 2 nephew's age 8 & 10 and loves to play. Can fetch a ball, play tug of war, jump in the air, and chew a bone with the best of 'em. Taz is highly active and needs a fenced in yard to help let some energy off. Hiking and car rides are some of his favorite activities. He will jump in the lake, chase squirrels, chill on the couch, and love you forever. Taz would prefer to be the only dog or pet in your life, as he is aloof around new dogs and cats. Plays well after introductions and good supervision. My housing situation does not allow me to keep my best friend, and that is heartbreaking, but I at least can see to it that Taz will spend the rest of his amazing life with a just as amazing family/person as he is. Taz will also answer to Berry, Juice, Chicken, and probably whatever nickname you so choose

Story
Looking to rehome this sweet girl to a home without other dogs. Meet Winnie; she enjoys runs, slow dancing, playing monkey in the middle, getting her belly rubbed, and kissing you. She's a cuddle bug with the biggest heart. Unfortunately, Winnie has a bit of dog aggression and because of this, we're needing to rehome her. Winnie is three years old and is a pitty mix. She is spayed, chipped, housebroken, and utd on her shots. Additionally she has been through K9 Off Leash's two week Board and Train Program, which is a $2,500 program. She is extremely well behaved and is currently reinforcing her great knowledge of sit, down, extended down, load up, place, and heel. She is good with kids, however she is extremely dog reactive, so she would need to be the only dog in the home. She is excited around cats and would probably do best in a he without them as well. She will come with all her accessories. We love her deeply and want her to go to a good home.

Story
Ollie is a 3 yr old treeing walker hound dog we bought him from a hound dog breeder at 8 wks old. He is a very loyal, loving, and protective dog who loves people he has lots of energy loves to play fetch, tug of war, catch toys in the air, etc. He would be a great hunting dog or just a family dog. Unfortunately, there are several reasons we have to find Ollie a new home first of all I have developed allergies to him, second our careers have changed from a home based daycare to working outside the home leaving Ollie home alone for 8-10 hrs a day. Lastly, Ollie has developed skin allergies of his own that after several visits to the vet we have not been able to resolve. The vet thought it was food allergies, but we have completely changed his diet to a high protein Kangaroo diet, no table food, no treats, and Rx meds for his itching, which has helped somewhat to control, but not a cure. I truly believe his skin sensitivities are environmental and sadly we can no longer care for him.
