Story
Sadly needing to rehome our 4ish year old Border Collie mix. She’s spayed, microchipped, and UTD on shots. She has bad separation anxiety so she needs to be with someone who is home a LOT, otherwise she can be destructive. She is not good with cats, gets territorial with other dogs, but is actually really good with kids. She loves a good belly rub and to lie with you in bed or on the couch.

Story
We adopted Luna from the Humane Society. She is almost 2 years old. We're looking for a new home for her because we have two other dogs in our house that we have had for many years and she does not like them at all. She had attacked one of our dogs a couple of times. We paid for a trainer to come work with her and she is still just not able to be with our other dogs. We have an almost two year old that she is wonderful with, she allows to to lay on her, bug her and pretty much just wags her tail and is beyond happy. She is a wonderful dog. I am beyond sad that it didn't work out with us. I would love her to have a great home and be an only dog.

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Heath is a high energy loving dog. He loves to be held like a baby and have all the attention. He is currently homed with 6 children and 2 cats. He scares the cats with his energy but he does just want to sniff and play. He doesn't try to harm them at all! We had an older dog from the time we adopted Heath and he was great growing up with her. But I do not know how well he will do with an additional dog in a new territory. I would recommend no other pets. He can be protective of his food and may growl if you try to take it. It's best to let him eat. He loves to run. He loves to cuddle. He would do best in a fenced yard in case he escapes. He needs some leash training as he does tug sometimes. He is house trained. He is crate trained. He loves his hamburger toy! He loves to run! He loves to cuddle! He loves to LICK! He LOVES water! He can open some doors and gates and latches. He is STRONG! He is a great loving wild pup!
