Story
Gary is a very sweet 1 1/2 yr old boy, my son got him from a rescue shelter about 6 months ago, my son is young & has a small apartment, a new job which requires him to be away 12 hour shifts. This is not fair for Gary & we would like him to go to a good home that has time & attention for Gary. He’s a great dog he does need more training not to jump but I believe if he had more room to run he would be an amazing addition to a family. He is very high energy. He would make an excellent farm dog. Maybe with right training even a cow/sheep herding. He has much potential.

Story
Machine is a one year old, neutered Black Mouth Cur. He was rescued at eleven weeks and has grown up in a home with three children whom he adores. He is loyal, playful, protective, and snuggly. Over the course of the time that he has been in our home, he has never fully integrated with our older female dog. He has instigated altercations with our other dog as well as my boyfriend’s dog when she comes to visit, but never with people. The dog on dog altercations have gotten to the point where they have to be separated at all times, which is not sustainable in our home. He has been in private training for several months now and is learning manners, but still requires a prong leash for walking, as he is a bit stubborn with pulling and likes to chase squirrels. It breaks our hearts to let him go and we want nothing more than to find him a good home with a loving family where he is the only pet. We think he would thrive on a farm or somewhere where he is able to hunt and protect.
