Coltie is a 8 month, 47lb, , vaccinated, spayed female. She is a shy little girl who always stays close by. She loves other dogs and really comes out of her shell when she gets comfortable. She will play and scrunch her nose, which is really adorable to see. She’s got a little under bite and a spotted tongue which also adds to her charm. She likes to be in high places and streches like a cat. Coltie is extremely friendly and has lots of sassy facial expressions. She is very smart, sits on command, eager to please, and very food motivated. With the right treatos, you could talk her into just about anything. She is a sensitive creature that would love a family dearly. Once bonded this dog will be your best friend. Coltie is a little sweetheart and would make a loyal, trusted companion.

Tommy is 8 months old, neutered, fully vaccinated, very silly, and playful pup. He loves to frolic outside and being social. He is leggy, lanky, and hops around like a baby giraffe. He wants to be friends with everyone and is a curious little guy. He is very smart, I had him sitting consistently on command within a couple days, and is progressing with leash training. He loves attention and loves tummy scratches once he gets to know you. Tommy is always down for a treat and considers hot dogs a delicacy. If you’re looking for the most photogenic, ride or die type of guy and a stud of a GS, then you have found your man.

Gwen is a 1-1.5 year old spayed female, vaccinated, healthy, german shepherd mix who has an old soul and motherly energy. She is very mellow and starving for love. Gwen is the type of dog who believes she is a lap dog and would to melt into you if she could. She’s is very smart, I had her walking on a leash and sitting mastered day 1. From the beginning, she has been the perfect dog. She is not photogenic because she wants to be attached to your hip. Even though she was found scavenging for food, she will leave a full bowl of chow to get attention and come get to it later. She is the poster child of ‘puppy dog eyes’ and she is very hard not to fall in love with quickly. Gwen is a once in a lifetime kind of companion, she is truly a gem.

Hello good morning my name is Nancy Trueblood for the last four months. I’ve tried to find homes for my two Akita pups. They will be two years old December 21. I have given all their shots to them. I recently moved from 86 acres from Westport to Willits, because of job transfer where I was hoping I could move with them, however where I move to I was unable to move with my dogs. I’ve currently kept them in a kennel for the last three months, which is not humane thing to do. I feed them on a regular basis I clean their kennel weekly. I work two jobs and I currently take care of five grandchildren. I’m in such desperate need to find a good home to them. I’ve tried social media, I've tried all local rescues, I even sat out in front of the store to try to find homes for my two dogs. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with finding either a rescue home for them or a place for them to go I would truly truly appreciate it. Thank you!

Zuri is a 6 year old spayed pit bull looking for a forever home. Her family moved to Hawaii and did not take her along with. Zuri is current on her Rabies, parvo, and lepto vaccines. She is current on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. Zuri had heartworm and Lyme disease when I got her 3 months ago and has been treated for both. Her heartworm treatment took 3 months to complete which is why she is only now up for rehoming from me. Zuri is friendly with cats, chickens, and most other dogs. She has gotten along with all but one dog that I’ve had her around (8 dogs she got along with, 1 she did not). The did she did not get along with was a female dog who does have a history of being aggressive to her old housemate but since removing that housemate from the home she had done well with other dogs so I am not sure what the discrepancy was between her and Zuri. Zuri does have some arthritis so she gets joint chews once a day with her breakfast and fish oil at night. She also has environmental allergies which are managed with cytopoint injections from the vet. Otherwise she is a sweet, healthy girl. Zuri is perfectly house trained. She does not beg, does not get on furniture, does not chew/destroy things, she does not get in the trash, she doesn’t jump on you, and she’s potty trained. Zuri is also leash trained and excellent in public. She travels well, she has excellent manners at restaurants and inside stores. She is good on hikes and walks. She does not drag you on a leash or pull on you at all. Zuri LOVES people. If there was one word to use to describe her, it would be polite. She is very very affectionate, she loves to be pet and loved. She is a very nice, well behaved, mellow girl. Zuri is a very sweet dog who deserves a good loving home. I want her to go to someone who will not cut corners on her care and will continue giving her joint chews, fish oil, her heartworm/flea/tick prevention, and the cytopoint injections as needed. If you feel like you can offer Zuri the life she deserves or are interested in learning more about her, feel free to reach out to me via email, text, or call and leave a voicemail and I’ll call you back.
