Story
We were given Wendell as a puppy. He was an amazing dog and I saw to it that we did all the proper training with him and he was a well behaved dog that was good with kids and other dogs. When he was about 7 months old he started having seizures. Our vet was overseeing these seizures and over time he has been put on two seizure meds and and an anxiety med. The seizures have changed him and what at one time did not bother him, now affects him a lot. We have two wild 5 yo little boys that live here and this seems to affect his seizures and his anxiety and his behaviors are no longer compatible with our fam. It is like he was never trained. He is just wild and 3x he has caused me to fall, the last time causing me damage to my back. He has never been aggressive and he has never attempted to bite, but because of his behaviors we have to keep him crated a great deal which is not fair to him. He needs a quieter home with lots of love and someone who can handle a dog with his special needs.

Story
Lucy is a very intelligent dog. It does make her somewhat naughty but easily trainable if time is inversted. We have young children, she is very good with, it has become too hard on us to continue care for her. I’ve reconsidered over and over and think this regime would be best for her. She LOVES to go on bike rides with me, playing fetch, and will be 5 yrs in April. She does have capabilities to jump high and will run off if not on a leash or in a yard. She has all shots, is fixed, just high energy maintenance for our family. She needs a family who can give her time, energy, and running wild space!

Story
Joplin loves other dogs but likes to play rough. He takes correction well and has been to doggy daycare. When it comes to kids, he can be kinda rough when excited so maybe not small children. He will steal food from kids if the opportunity presents itself. Joplin is potty trained and goes into his kennel easily. He is a people please and listens when you say "no. He knows commands sit, down, kennel, shake, and spin. Joplin has come pretty far with his indoor manners. He hasn't had an accident inside in months, hasn't chewed any shoes lately, not generally destructive indoors. I buy him large beef cheek rolls to chew on because smaller chews do not last very long lol. He is a very active dog and can be obsessive over things like the squirrels and birds in the backyard. I have a 6 foot privacy fence that he used to try to dig under but has not lately. He still digs holes in the yard if not watched though, he loves to dig! He really likes to hang out in the yard no matter the weather. Joplin is kind of hard to walk as he gets distracted by anything that moves and will cross in front of and behind you. Its better to walk him on a quieter path, not near traffic and loads of people. He is extremely friendly but does get spooked by unexpected things on walks, will bark and put up hackles. When he's excited, his manners go out the window. He will start jumping on people and sometimes will get your hand instead of the toy if playing. When we wind down for the night, Joplin loves to cuddle. He has no boundaries and wants to be in your lap or sleeping as close to you as possible. Definitely likes the company of other dogs around the house. He's a pretty big sweetie in general, not at all aggressive. I think he would appreciate a home with more activity than mine (more people to play with and also a dog that likes to play)

Story
Roxie, this little lady is always so happy it just makes you feel happy yourself. She loves chew toys, running in the yard and snuggling. She is crate trained and good around other dogs. I believe she would be happy in a home with or without dogs. She likes to sleep against your side and sometimes likes to be under the covers. She enjoys the small pool and just hanging out with her family. She rides great in the car but is not a fan of fireworks. She is just an all round sweetheart.
