Story
I got Mia from a seller online that turned out to be a puppy mill. Her personality when I got her was very sad to see. She had a very hard time accepting affection and almost all interaction left her scared. But she opened up and is a very happy dog. She dances when I take her outside, she loves hugs and cuddling, and she is playful and friendly with any animals she has been introduced to. She gets excited around people but never growled or showed her teeth before.

Story
Tobias is a handsome, sweet, energetic, loveable dog who loves to take long walks, go for car rides, fetch, play tug, and lie at your feet. He is good with voice and hand commands. He is house trained. However, he has marked when he is in new areas. He likes to chew antlers and his toys. However, he also likes shoes, socks, and some plastic items that are left on the floor. He has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, however you would never know it by the way he runs, jumps, and tugs. He goes to his kennel on command. He is comfortable in his kennel when left alone at home. He stays off furniture, although he is allowed on “his” chair, which he goes to on command.

Story
We adopted Alexa as a puppy and she was the first member of our family, so we want to make sure she finds the right fit. She is very loving and likes to snuggle up and be close to you. She loves to play and get attention, tug of war is her favorite game. She also loves people and any attention she can get so she wouldn't be a good guard dog. She is very high energy (and is very strong) and needs a privacy fence and lots of exercise. She can climb over regular chain link fences at normal height without other precautions, but we do have a wireless fencing system we will pass along if it seems like a fit other than the fence. She loves other dogs and the dog park is one of her favorite places to visit. She hasn't been around cats much, but when she was a puppy she wanted to chase them and play. She has never been aggressive to anything other than birds. We are rehoming for 2 reasons, 1 she is very big so her playing is too much for our young kids. 2, she needs more exercise.

Story
Needing to rehome a great danes. I got her about a year ago to foster for a lady till she got moved then she decided she did not want her. she is 3 yrs old, has had a litter of pups but has since been spayed. she is so sweet, absolutely loves cats, especially baby kittens. she loves kids as well but that is a big part of why Im needing to rehome her. she gets so overly excited when my 7 yr old son and his friends get to playing and has a few times now caught a kiddo with her teeth. not biting them but trying to grab blankets or toys from them and usually her bottom teeth catch the child. she has progressively gotten more wild and I am afraid she may accidentally bite one of them badly thinking she is just playing. she gets along great with our male dane and got along with my 14 yr old female lab/catahoula however she does NOT like small female dogs, unsure about small male dogs. Obsessed with toys and blankets. Love to play and snuggle. Loves water. Smart and very sweet.
