Story
Tank has been cared for since his original owners landlord no longer wanted him there. He is 6 years old, we have been looking for a home for him for over a year, we now have a new baby in the house and he needs attention that we can not give, he is not fixed and had his last rabies shot last summer. We do not know if he is good with other animals because he has never been around them. He is very strong and not perfect on a leash, older kids would be good since he still acts like a puppy and is very playful! He is crate trained. Knows commands like sit, lay, wait, gives paw and lets you know when he needs to go outside!

Story
Hope is one of the most loving dogs you will know. She is 3 1/2 years old and just loves kids. I was in a relationship where we were living together and she did have a young daughter. We recently split up. Hope and her became best of friends. She loves kids and so loving. Sometimes she can be a little over loving lol. She is an energetic dog who loves taking hikes and walks. She loves to play fetch and has been trained to not go off too far. When we would go for hikes we would allow her off leash. If she got too far we would just yell for her to check in and she will come. I wish I could keep her but I just do not have the capabilities to give her the life she so deserves.

Story
Willow is an adorable, playful, loving pet ! We are downsizing and are not allowed two dogs in our new place. She is a mid-energy and kid loving. She is up to date on all care and immunizations. We are looking for a home that is going to give her extra love and attention! She has skiddish nervous behavior sometimes when she feels scared. She is great with my other dog, unknown to other pets how she'd act. She has been both free roaming and tied up, she has been both crate trained and gated in a common area. She does bark, as she has a little red heeler/aussie in her and was born to protect, even in her little size. She is deserving of the best and we will accept nothing less. We are sad to see her go, shes been a lovely addition to our home and I believe she would be for anyone's. Thank you.

Story
Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler Mix Hello! My name is Jace and they say I'm an ACE! Not sure what that means, but I THINK it means I'm special. I'm pretty sure I have a rather high doggie IQ because I catch on to things very easily. I watch the humans very closely, and try to figure out what they want me to do. I've learned some of the things they want, and am hoping there will be some person I can call my own, who will teach me many other things. I've been sad because my old person died. Me and my buddy, Tobias, were left in the house with him for a long time and it seemed like nobody would ever come and help us. We grieved for our human, and were scared nobody would come. But they finally did. Then we went to a very loud and crazy shelter and had to stay in a super small kennel that mostly was dirty and we hated that. Finally, someone else came and got us and now we're at a better place with nice folks who say they are going to help us get a new family to love. Oh, I'm hoping for that day!!! I am a good boy - I promise. I get along with dogs, and want to please my people. I was house trained when I lived with my person, and so I'm pretty sure I can be good about that. I LOVE treats and can catch them in the air! I know how to sit and stay. I love going for walks, and just hanging out with people inside. Oh, to have my own soft, comfy bed and a nice person to call mine again - I hope it is not just a dream. I am 3 y/o and 55 lbs. I am neutered, up to date on my vaccines, and stuff so you won't have to do any of that. Please pick me. I will be your very best friend. *****Jace is up to date on all dewormings, preventatives and is HW negative. He's been neutered, and microchipped. He's a wonderful dog and we're looking for an equally wonderful person to be by his side. Super smart as his breed would suggest - all kinds of potential with this boy. Well behaved inside.
