Tasha

Dachshund Hound (Unknown Type)

Nixa, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tasha lost her human mom early October, due to an unexpected health issue. Tasha is currently living with family, but we have 4 other dogs and it is not the best environment for her. Tasha has been an only fur child for 11 years, so adapting to 1 year old dogs is a challenge. Tasha has been interacting and playing, but has issues with being Alpha with the other female. Tasha would be fine with other dogs that are not overly alpha. Tasha is very sweet. She loves to cuddle and demands to sleep in bed with the family. Tasha is overweight but doing good at losing a little weight by taking short walks. Extra snacks have also been limited. (She weighs 43 lbs currently. Dauchsand mix so she needs to lose more) Tasha has all shots, meds, and preventatives. She just had her senior panel. Health looks good. If you are looking for a sweet girl that is calm, cuddly, and potty trained, check out Tasha.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
My family adopted Scarlet from a shelter when she was young. She has been an indoor family pet ever since. She is super smart, loves to run and lounge on the couch, and is infinitely patient with my three year old. She sheds very little and is soft all over. Scarlet is really a great family pet. Unfortunately she is also really good at escaping. She needs a secure privacy fence. I have been unable to keep her in my chain link fence, and she has killed my neighbor’s chickens. That’s why she needs a new home.

Ace

German Shepherd Dog Australian Shepherd

Male, Puppy
Ozark, MO
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ace is 5 months old and I got him from a friend whom I was afraid would be putting him into the pound, which I was trying to avoid. I wasn’t really prepared to take on the responsibility of another puppy on top of our other who just turned one this month. We’re looking for a friendly, caring, active household. He needs attention and someone who has a lot of time and room for him to run. He is such a fun and adorable dog. He is pretty calm aside from when I come home from work and he’s so easily workable. We trained him quite a bit and he goes to stores like Lowe’s and more. He loves the mental stimulation of training and gets along great with our other dog, the problem comes whenever he is around dogs that he hasn’t been around. He does bite at them, bark, and show his teeth in warning whenever they get too close but we took him to a training class where he was already improving on that.

Stella is all about people. Her major need is a persons love and attention. We acquired Stella and her sister about 7 years ago from a farmer in Crane missouri. All our kids have left home and we cannot give Stella the attention she deserves. Will be taking her in to update rabies shots etc. Stella would be a great kids companion. Looking for a loving home with fenced in yard. She has been spayed. Australian shepard and border collie

Story
Taz is somewhere between 6 and 8 months old, border collie/red heeler mix or so I was told. I acquired him from a relative who no longer wanted him. Do to chronic gout and other joint problems, I cannot handle having a dog. I don't know how much training he has had but usually when you tell him to sit he will. He seems to be very smart.
