Story
Stella is a beautiful, friendly girl of about 8 that we rescued from a high kill shelter in CA. She is laid back and so good! Stella does pretty well on a leash too. She is medium energy, and does have some arthritis etc in her hind end but gets around great, and can do a few stairs. Stella would like to be the only dog in the home, she is non reactive to them on a leash (unless they get too close) so she would be fine on walks etc. This is a sweet girl who deserves a great retirement home! She would be an easy dog to incorporate into your home!

Story
Hugh was rescued from a kill shelter in CA. He is a big, happy goofball of over 100 lbs. He is very puppyish and loves to play. Hugh has been around kids and other dogs, and does fine. He seems to ignore the cats so we believe he will be OK with them. Hugh is mostly housebroken and is crate trained, and is learning to walk nicely on a leash. This guy would like an active home, but does know how to chill - he has done some training in a home environment so is well on his way to knowing his house manners. Hugh will make a great companion - he is a really fun boy!

Story
Luna is ready to go home! Luna came to us from CA - her family had moved and left her tied up in the backyard. Luckily the neighbors intervened and she found her way to us! We believe her to be around 2-3 yrs. She's a little peanut....a great size - around 60 lbs. It was clear that Luna had never lived indoors, she was scared to go through doorways etc. When she arrived it was clear she needed a little training....so Luna went to stay at Kompletely K-9 Dog Training and Rehabilitation . She spent 2 weeks there, and learned many new things! She walks nicely on a leash - she will heel and sit. She is very puppylike and wants to play, so she will be a bit of a work in progress - but no different than any other puppy! Luna is very good with other dogs - she lived with one in her original "home", and she has done well with the other dogs at the trainer's too - she really likes our Landon and he is her special friend. Luna LOVES kids. There were also many children at her home in CA. We met some kids at Ales for Tails and she cried when they went away, LOL. Supposedly Luna lived with cats but we cannot confirm how she is with them. She will make an excellent companion for an active home who can give her the exercise and attention she needs!

Story
EVA IS LOOKING FOR HER PERFECT HOME! Eva came to us recently from a high kill shelter in CA. She's just a pup...no more than 2. She's also a little peanut of about 60 lbs. Eva is SUPER friendly and loves people. She is going to need a little manners training...it is clear she hasn't had any. She needs a little leash work, and to learn not to jump on people to say HI HI HI! She's active and energetic and likes to play. She is very good with other dogs! We expect she would be fine with kids. Eva is going to need an active home who can handle a GSD youngster's energy level. She's a sweet girl and will make a great companion.

Story
OUR BEAUTIFUL SUNFLOWER IS STILL WAITING FOR A HOME! WE THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE SNAPPED UP INSTANTLY! SUNFLOWER IS HERE IN MAINE AND NOTHING IS BETTER THAN A SUNFLOWER IN THE SUMMER! SHE'S WAITING FOR YOU! Sunflower is a beautiful girl of about 7-8 yrs that we rescued from the Downey Shelter in CA a few weeks ago after she was placed on the euthanasia list. She is very sweet and just LOVES PEOPLE and attention. She’s a great size, too – just over 60 lbs. Sunflower is medium energy, and is pretty laid back. She is fine with calm dogs, she isn’t interested in playing – she likes to do her own thing, but she doesn’t mind another dog around! She mostly wants to hang with the people - she can get a little jealous of other dogs getting attention. She was a volunteer fave at the shelter, and here too! She LOVES to give kisses, and is one of the sweetest dogs ever! She is very food motivated and will sit for treats, and take them gently. She will be an easy dog to transition into your home!
