Story
Coco and Koda have to be homed together Introducing Coco: A Loyal, High-Energy German Shepherd Mix Ready to Find His Forever HomeMeet Coco, a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and energy! Coco is a loyal and affectionate dog who thrives on human companionship. He loves people and is always excited to be around his family. However, like many dogs of his breed, he has a strong pack mentality and would do best in a home where he’s the only pet—or with another dog he’s comfortable with, like Koda (they can go home together, but they must be fed separately). Coco is looking for an experienced, active family who can provide the structure and mental stimulation he needs to be his best self.While Coco is a loving and playful dog, he will need some basic training and guidance to help him refine his manners. He tends to resource guard, so his new family should be prepared to work with him on this behavior. Coco also needs a strict enrichment schedule to keep his mind and body engaged, preventing boredom or anxiety. With the right environment and dedication, Coco will make a wonderful and loyal companion.Training & Behavior Needs:Basic Training: Coco is smart and eager to learn, but he does need some guidance with basic commands and overall manners. He responds well to positive reinforcement, so consistency and patience will go a long way in helping him build better behavior. Coco will need regular training sessions to help him stay focused and well-behaved.Resource Guarding: Coco does tend to resource guard, particularly when it comes to food or treats. He will need to be fed separately from other pets in the home, including Koda. His new family should be prepared to work with a trainer on this behavior to ensure a safe and calm environment during mealtimes.Excitable & High-Energy: Coco has a lot of energy and can get overly excited at times, especially when meeting new people or in exciting environments. He’ll benefit from structured exercise, play, and training to help him manage his excitement and direct his energy in positive ways. Coco thrives on activity and will need regular physical and mental challenges to stay happy.Pack Mentality & Other Pets: Coco has a strong pack mentality and is not good with other dogs. While he and Koda get along, they are not bonded and should be fed separately. For the best chance of success, Coco should be the only dog in the household, as he can g

Story
Meet Quiet Violet! This girl doesn't bark, so if you need a loud guard dog, you'll have to look elsewhere. Violet actually "speaks" rather than barks, and only for mealtime. Violet is searching for her retirement home as she's around 8 years young now. She does well with short walks as she's had two TPLO surgeries, but it doesn't stop her from playing with squeaky balls in the yard! She is Miss Congeniality with other dogs and people alike. Treats, food and squeaky toys are all Violet's favourite things! She's also very clean and house trained. Violet's dreamhome wishlist: > A rural or suburban home. Violet is good with cows and horses, but not a fan of big city life. > A home with or without another balanced dog. > A mature home without young children (older teens okay). > Someone who works from home or is retired to ensure Violet gets enough "me" time. Hiring a dog walker or a family who work alternate hours would be other options. > Someone who wants a lifelong companion that will cherish Violet the way she'll cherish them!
