Story
About 8 years old, Toast is a moderate-high energy dog with a lot of life and energy left still. Once she knows and trusts you, you will be charmed by her expressive, goofy, fun-loving demeanor. She is a lover of head and booty scritches, but is not normally one to snuggle up next to you on the couch or in bed. She will still get up in your business, though in a playful and loving manner (especially when trying to eat!). She still gets the zoomies and enjoys physical play. She can be just as happy snoozing around all day or being out and enjoying long walks. She loves to destroy squeaky toys. Toast is food motivated. She will sit and wait for her dinner with either Go or Free as her release command, and is getting better at Place. She is generally quiet. Toast is an aggressive dog that battles anxiety & resource guarding issues. She has a prey drive for small animals & cats. She is not good with other dogs, and should not be with children.

Jason is a very friendly dog. He enjoys cuddles. He is older, so he’s slow to move in the being. He gets winded sometimes. He loves sitting outside in the sun. He loves hanging out. He is older so he has a leg problem where his leg pops out but it doesn’t affect him.

Story
Hi, we had taken Carmel in as a puppy and have had him for a year. The good things about him are his sweet and loving nature but also a very alert dog. He has lots of energy, and is smart. We think he would make a good hunting dog. We have trained him in the kennel and have him sort of house trained with the poop and pee side. He is very excitable and has much to learn with regards to that. The issue we have is that I have no time to train him they way he deserves, it's caused me a lot of stress because I already have 4 kids, and one of my children requires routine trips to the Doctors. He has not bitten anyone but likes to lunge toward at people in wanting attention. We have worked with him on the leash and social skills but still requires much training. He loves to play and really has a lot of personality with smarts. I hate to give him up, but if I had the time to train I would keep him regardless of the challenge. We know his mom has a lot of border Collie but that's all we know.
