(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Adoption price negotiable. Ava is 2.5 years old and true to her name she has been an Avalanche in our life. She loves to play constantly, is obsessed with the ball and playing with water or swimming. Ava needs a great understanding home that gives her lots of attention and is full of energy and patience. She loves to be near and play with people. She will play with other dogs but has some difficulty with initial introductions. She is a wonderful guard dog and will alert you to any activity, animals needing assistance (notifies us when the cat is home), people in the driveway, or intruders/guests/deliveries. She does whine but it is usually to tell you she needs something. She hates to be separated from what is going on and her people. She is loyal, caring, and stays close by unless there is something to chase out of the yard. She can be stubborn and will test her limits constantly, but can also be very obedient with correction.

Alanson, MI
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Adoption price negotiable. Polar Bear 50-60 lbs will get to 110-120lbs. He loves attention and affection. He hates to miss out on anything and is affectionately named Harry Houdini because he is constantly climbing out of his enclosure to go play with the big dogs or humans. He is gentle with our cat, but I cannot be certain he will be good with another cat. He is very food, treat, and ball motivated. He stays close and has decent recall. He knows basic commands and can go 8-10 hours at night. He is crate/house trained for our environment. He plays outside most of the day with the other puppy. He does well alone or with other dogs.

Hello I'm Madigan! I came all the way to Northern Michigan from St. Landry Parish in Louisiana. I'm a very sweet girl and I'd love to find a family who will show me about all the finer things in life. I'm playful, energetic and ready to learn. I'm a young gal, I'm just over one year old, so we have plenty of time for you to teach me how to be my best. I hope my family comes for me soon- maybe it's you!
