Story
We adopted him and kept him as a pet since 2019. He follows a leash, sits on command, only has accidents if left inside, but doesn’t ask for the door. Since we moved into town he hasn’t been able to get the amount of exercise a great p needs. He has become territorial trying to keep guest out of our house. He needs a large property to work or run on. He loves to sit and have his head petted and currently sleeps in my daughter’s room on the floor at night. He has been a wonderful pet, but will be happier with a bigger place to run and possibly livestock to guard.

Story
Meet Miley! Age: 6 Weight: 57lbs Ms. Miley is a beautiful and friendly lady who has a smile and a wagging tail for everyone. She doesn't seem to need much in life and doesn't really care about toys or treats. All she wants is a human friend who will love her and give her ample attention. Miley enjoys leisurely walks and often has her nose to the ground for all the smells. She knows sit, but she'd rather stand by your side like the loyal friend she is. Miley would enjoy a home where she is the only canine star, but if you have another dog, a meet-and-greet at the shelter is required to be sure you all have a happy-ever-after ending. Ms. Miley is the perfect middle-age dog to be your easygoing, tenderhearted, and loving companion. She'd love to make your acquaintance, however she is being adopted out through foster care. If you are interested please fill out an online application and we will get you in contact with her foster parents!

Story
Meet Diva! Age: 1 Weight: 50lbs Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: unknown but not likely Good with kids: yes, but is higher energy Housetrained: yes Crate trained: yes Diva is ready to be the queen of your castle! Despite her name, she is anything but a Diva. She is potty-trained, crate trained, and not destructive in the home, although she does like to occasionally steal a bite of your food! She does great with other dogs but she does require a slower introduction with small dogs. Diva thinks cats are great fun to chase, so she will be requiring a home without them! She is fantastic with all people including kids, though she doesn't always realize her size when she gets excited! Diva is a wicked smart girl knowing sit, shake, and no. She loves to spend time outside and walks well on a leash. Diva would do best in a home with a dog companion or a single dog home that will give her lots of attention! She has a higher energy level, so she is needing an owner that has the time and patience to get all her energy out! So if you are looking for a hiking buddy and someone to watch the sun set with, look no further! Diva is currently in foster care, if you are interested in meeting her, please fill out an application on our website and we will send it to her foster!
