Story
Juno is a sweet, smart and athletic dog who thrives on property. She is a youthful 12 year old spayed female of medium large build and weighs approximately 55 pounds. Her health and energy are great and she has many more years to give. She was raised on acreage with other dogs up until until two years ago whereby her owners had to move into a very small 4,000 sqft lot with minimal yard. She needs to be back on property where her skill base is best suited. Her natural abilities include: * Herding* Hunting Varmints* Chases wildlife off property including deer, turkeys and coyotes* tracking (keen sense of smell)* alerts owners of rattlesnakes* Good with kids* Good with other dogs* Never bitten a pet* She has "bird dog" tendencies, would be cautious of chickens around her. She may chase cats. Now that Juno is inside mostly one of the owners has experienced allergies. The move and change in environment has brought on some anxiety for Juno and she is not thriving.

Story
Thank you for taking the time to learn get to know a little bit about Bella. I got Bella from a shelter in Portland Oregon 11 years ago. She was skin and bones and had been there for 9 months. She was terrified and mostly hid under the bed for 6 months. Slowly but surely she came out of her shell. She has been my best friend and the closest thing that I will ever have to a child. She is sweet, loving, kind and considerate. She is fully house trained and doesn't get into anything. She would make a great emotional support dog. Bella is very scared of men and will bark aggressively at a strange man. She has never hurt anyone before. She does great with women and children. She loves other dogs too but if the dog is aggressive towards her she will not hesitate to have a dog fight. She has never been the aggressor. She is 12 years old but filled with energy and full of life. She would do best with a single mother and children. She will be your best friend and protect you and your children.

Story
Rikki is a French Bulldog. she grew up with an amazing plush life.. but the past two years after having a toddler and now an infant.. I just can't give her the life she deserves. she is protective over her food which causes her to be aggressive if my kiddos get anywhere near it. she has become incontinent and due to circumstances I can't afford to do the work up as to why/meds they may want to have her on. she was bleeding a bit vaginally last week but since has had no issue.. and again, I can't afford to do a work up on her. she has been handling diapers well. she is blind In her Left eye due to running into our sliding door last year. I just want her to have a great rest of her life. as she is still spunky and no appearance of pain/ discomfort.

Story
Tess is a 9 year old female Jack Russell Terrier owned by my 91 yr old father. I am rehoming for him as his health and memory are declining fast. She is a smart, active pup who loves her toys and needs a yard with plenty of room to run around. New people make her anxious initially but she warms up quickly. She walks well on a leash. Each day at 4:30 she lays down nicely in front of my father, which is her way of saying she wants her Nubz treat.

Story
Hi! My name is Jack. I was born on February 7, 2016 I have a mostly black body with white mittens and white tummy. My perfect day is to lounge in the sun and play fetch. It would be lots of fun to go for a long walk or jog. I love to play with balls and squeaky/ chewy toys. I also love the water!   I am pretty good about responding to “sit” and “stay” and usually “come”.   I am sometimes nervous to meet new people and dogs. But I am quick to warm up and am happy to make new friends! Fireworks and thunder sometimes scare me too.   I hang out with three kids everyday and love them!   I have a cat brother named Dash and we get along great.   I don’t mind other dogs after proper introductions.   I am an outside dog so I play and sleep in the backyard.   I enjoy going on walks. I am a leader and like to pull my human along behind me. I like to climb on things, sometimes even over the fence, and dig big holes. So much fun! 🤭
