Story
Emcee was rescued from the Milwaukee Humane Society when he was 3 months old. He is now 10-1/2 years old and has had only one owner, myself. He's socialized with other dogs. When he turned 1 year old, I adopted his now sister, Escher. She was 9 months old at the time. She is now 10 years old. They come as a family because they get separation anxiety when they don't have each other to keep one another company. To be honest, Emcee & Escher are polar opposites of one another. Emcee wants all of the attention that he can get and loves EVERYONE. Escher, on the other hand, will warm up to you on her own terms. They both love going to the dog park. Emcee is a full-fledged retriever of balls. HE LOVES IT! Escher...well, she likes to go get the ball, but when she does get it, she'll play keep-away from Emcee. But I can always rely on Emcee to bring it back to my side. Escher takes medication for her thyroid. She has hair loss. Emcee has an excellent bill of health. They have a feeding routine.

Story
Cain is a sweet young man who loves playing with the hose, so if you have a large garden make sure Cain is inside before you start watering the flowers and veggies. Cain does like to play with other dogs but keep in mind he does play very rough and most dogs get upset about it. Cats will not be a good fit with this big boy. Cain enjoys long walks, the longer the walk the happier the Cain. Have you ever had a dog you can sit and talk with and they talk back and give hugs when needed? Cain is that dog, he will be there when you need to vent and he gives the best hugs.

Story
Hey hound lovers this goofy boy is Gilligan. Gill is only 2 years old and has spent most of his younger years traveling. He lived in a home down by the Madison area with a family with 2 other dogs in the home, it didn't work out living in the same home with other dogs even after working with a few different dog trainers Gill was just getting more guarding of his food, toys and people so a home with other animals isn't going to work for him. He do NOT like cats. Gilligan doesn't do well with kids under the age of 15 years. We all are aware that its a very specific home that Gilligan is looking for but these are the facts from each home he has been in to help him find the right home to call his forever. Gill loves his toys, there are some he destroys and then hes got his "babies" that he carries EVERYWHERE, if your looking for a dog to play fetch Gill doesn't know when to stop so come test out your throwing arm for this guy. Gill loves eating a little too much, hes been packing on some weight and he know to sit and wait for his grub. After a long day of fetch and his belly is full Gill will crawl into his kennel and cover himself up, thats right he has covered himself up many times with his blankets. If you or someone you know has the right home for this big goof please stop by and meet him.
