Skrat (Sk-rat) is silly, loving, full of energy, loves ice and fruit, enjoys baths, very affectionate and enjoys belly rubs. He is 2 years old (4/8/2022) and enjoys rolling around in the grass. Unfortunately, Skrat will have to be the only dog as he does not do well with other dogs. He listens very well especially when snacks are involved. Skrat is looking for his furever home.

Cookies was token very early from his mother we adopted a year ago and haven’t really had the time he deserve he’s a very smart dog to smart for his own good we have to Keep him in the cage while we work because he knows how to get loose from his harness and collars so a fence in yard would be ideal for cookies he usually barks at people when he first meet them to bad anxiety he has been trained but still needs a little more social training I’m just hoping he can find a home where he would get the time and attention he deserves

Story
The sweetest girl in the world and once shes warmed up to you she's is the biggest cuddle buddy. She's generally nervous around new people but within a few minutes she's taking pets and doing tricks. She's incredibly smart and we've been working on training for reactivity and overall leash manners and is well versed in heal position, leave it and a place command and recall (in German). I simply work too many hours and with having another dog with reactivity it has become too difficult to train them both in order to go on the walks they deserve. My other dog is able to be with my parents while I'm at work but Koda hasn't gotten accustomed to their dog. I love her with all of my heart but she deserves an owner who either has the space to let her run around in a yard or lives an active life on the trails. She is also a HUGE couch potato but can keep up with any outdoor adventures! With being gone 10 hours a day minimum and having another reactive dog I can't give her the life she deserves

Story
12/01/2024 we accepted Altas because his previous owner was desperate to rehome him. Unfortunately, our (big) dogs are not suitable housemates for him (we did consult with our trainer). He is an absolute pleasure to be around & loves to cuddle & follow his people around! We are looking to rehome Atlas with a family with no dogs or small dogs (he does not like big dogs or big dog play). Previous owner did have a child he was good with. Unknown about cats. He is neutered & 8 years old. We did update his shots/rabies & heartworm/flea. (Will provide all vet records I have). He is crate & leash trained. He comes with food, crate, toys, bed etc.He loves food (has sensitive stomach) & will try to eat anything edible. He is housebroken (wears belly band inside, he will mark new territory). He is very sweet & happy & full of energy & tons of years left! Rehoming fee for transition & can be adjusted.
