Phoenix

Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult

Guysville, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Purchased as a puppy from breeder who is unable to take him back. He is a 1 yr 9 month old AKC registered Black Labrador Retriever. Was neutered this April. Current on shots and taking Nexgard Plus (can provide any remaining monthly treatments depending upon when adopted). Gets along with our female dog but unknown if he will be compatible with all others. Is good with our child and visiting friends but unknown if he will tolerate all other children. He is wary of most strangers and has started becoming protective when our other dog barks at them. Requires experienced owner willing to exercise and provide training. Phoenix loves to run on farm, go for hikes in woods, play in the creek and play fetch. He is an outside dog on a farm but crate trained inside at night. Requires experienced owner. We love Phoenix who is an affectionate dog but he has started exhibiting more protective behaviors that we are not experienced enough to handle given current circumstances.

Satchel

Border Collie

Female, Adult

Logan, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We have had Satchel for about 4 years and she has become increasingly more aggressive toward our sheep. She is bred to corral sheep but she never took to the training as most of her breed does and instead only wants to chase them. She is a sweet dog and will make a great companion for someone. We have lots of grandchildren and she does fine with them. We have another dog that she does ok with as well. She can be skiddish with strangers sometimes so we do have a sign up for delivery people. She loves to be petted and loved on and knows a few basic commands. She comes in at night and is crate trained to stay in at night but doesn’t stay in all day, and no longer sleeps in a crate, but in our laundry room with our other dog. It’s with regret that we have to rehome Satchel, but she has become a threat to our livestock. She is not a good livestock dog, but is a wonderful companion.
