Story
Stella is 18 months old and an excellent pup. Stella was born in Alaska, and her pedigree is made up of a long line of outdoor achievements (hunting, retrieving, companionship). She loves to spend time with people, she’s great with kids, and she loves spending time outside. She has an awesome temperament—she is very sweet, not too hyper, and she’s very calm. She is trained for bird hunting, and is house trained. She cannot be bred, per original breeder.

Story
Cyrus is a purebred, sable German Shepherd. He is a working line German Shepherd, and he will come with all of his AKC paperwork and his medical records. Cyrus knows his basic commands (sit, down, stay, easy, and heel,) he is crate trained, and he loves a good game of fetch or frisbee. He is a really great running partner! Although he is a year and a half old, he is still very much a puppy and has a lot to learn. I think he’d do great as an only dog or with at max two other dogs in the house. We currently have other female and male dogs in the house which has never been a problem for him because he does have more of a submissive personality. The reason for rehoming is no fault of his. We just learned that we are expecting twins, growing our family from 4 to 6, and financially and physically our hands will be VERY full. We just want to allow him to live his best, happy life! If you are interested feel free to reach out! I’d be more than happy to answer any questions. 😊

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Can be dog-aggressive. Would thrive best in a home with no other pets where he can get your full attention. Very cuddly, sweet lap dog when by himself with his people. Gets excited and has a lot of energy when first coming out of his crate, but lounges around once he settles. Crate-trained, but cannot be crated for longer than a standard work day. Does fine on a leash and loves walks. Knows basic commands such as sit, stay, and has been trained to “stay” until we say “free” for him to start eating or be released from crate. Does not have experience around small children, so unsure if we will do okay with them.

Nina is about 3 years old. She’s very cuddly and energetic. We unfortunately don’t have the time and attention she needs. She did well with other dogs and children. She would do well with a family that could give her the attention and space to let out some energy.
