Story
I adopted Kobe from my local shelter when he was roughly 8 months old. He is roughly 2 years old now. He is very hyper and overactive. We got him as a companion for our other German Husky mix. They get along just fine. We think he has something mentally wrong with him, when we let him outside, he will spin and jump in circles, cries over and becomes aggressive over rocks, does not like cats. We are looking to rehome him with someone that can give him constant attention and training. He does listen to some commands. Unfortunately we just brought a newborn into our home, and he is too hyper to let him run free and we do not want to keep him caged up. Best if he is a home with no other dogs or cats, due to hyperactivity and he will not eat.

Story
i got luna from a family that had bred there 2 house hold dogs, luna is 1 years old will be turning 2 in june. i am looking for an adopter with relatively good amount of time to spend with her and with a yard as luna needs some good activity and someone willing to further her training. i would suggest a family with older children but i cant see kids being an issue but i just want to be on the safe side because she is a strong dog. luna is stronger than she looks lol, she likes to play, go on walks, sleep/cuddle, watches tv sometimes, she absolutely loves food, she is a very curious dog and likes to get into stuff sometimes especially if she wants to play, i guess you could say luna is a needy dog and will be some what attached at the hip.

Story
Dog's Name: Gracie Location : Fort Atkinson, WIAge or Date of Birth: July 2021 (estimate)Gender: FemaleBreed: Cane Corso MixFoster Dog's Weight: 83 lbs Gracie gets along with:Dogs?: Female dogs Needs a slow introduction to other dogsCats?: Unknown but unlikely due to prey driveKids?:  Older kids, needs slow introduction Gracie is very loyal and stubborn, she loves her person and is very protective of them from both strangers and other dogs. She prefers to spend her time following her person around the house and snuggling. She plays well with her younger (but bigger) foster sister, but doesn't always play well with her foster brother (bigger) and gets protective of her foster sister if she is playing with my male. Gracie has shown aggression towards her foster brother, but listens when sheis told no or to stop.  She snores like a freight train and likes to lay in her kennel at times, she is kenneled at night and when her foster mom is gone. She does have aggression tendencies and is frightened by strangers (which triggers her aggression).  Her perfect adopter would not have any kids or other pets (could potentially have a female non-dominant sibling with slow intros and strict boundaries to not allow her to exhibit alpha behavior). The ideal adopter would be knowledgeable of guardian breeds and preferably willing to put in the strict training (with or without a trainer depending on experience) to continue to work on her previously stated behaviors.  Due to her high prey drive, she will need constant supervision outside if her home does not have a fence.

Story
Pudding - Female Mastiff Mix Age: 1 Year Good with: Cats: Unknown Dogs: Yes- needs slow intro (Due to her high energy) Kids: Yes Location: Waukesha, WI Weight: 85 lbs Do you want a social dog that is up and willing to run errands, take long walks, and/or go the park (dog or other), then Pudding is your girl! Some of her favorite activities are running and meeting new dogs at the dog park, playing/running in the back yard, and going for car rides. Pudding has not met a person (or dog!) she does not like! She doesn't understand at times when others do not feel the same way about her. She is a lovable 85-pound dog that does not realize her size when she wants to snuggle with you, which she loves to do after she has been out and about! She loves kids; is great with kids of all ages, by affectionately playing, but also understanding when to take it a little slow. She is still a puppy so she will need some reminders when she gets excited. She understands most of her commands but is still learning. She doesn't want to miss out on anything, so she whines a little bit when she has to be left alone in her crate. However, distracting her with a rawhide or something to chew in her crate helps! But she is full of excitement when you get home! Pudding's perfect family?Pudding has anxiety being left; however, this is improving! She goes into her crate very well, but she is a mover and shaker, so she doesn't like being in her crate for long periods of time. Ideally, her forever family has someone who is home often, or she can go to daycare often. She is not high energy; she just does not like to be contained in her crate. Since she is still a puppy, she does have energy she needs to release, but she fine if she has 30 minutes playing at the dog park and/or a 20-minute walk. Afterwards, she is ready to take a siesta! She would thrive being the only dog or being part of a doggy family!
