Story
Meet Huggie Bear, an energetic and happy Black Mouth Cur mix with a heart full of excitement and a personality to match! This sweet boy is always ready to play and loves nothing more than running around, having fun, and showing off his adorable doggy zoomies. With his boundless energy and enthusiasm, Huggie Bear is the perfect companion for an active home that’s ready for some non-stop fun! Huggie Bear gets bored easily, so he’s looking for a family who can keep up with his lively spirit and provide him with plenty of stimulating activities. Whether it’s fetch, puzzle toys, or learning new tricks, Huggie Bear loves having fun and staying busy. He’ll need a home that can match his energy level and keep him entertained, so get ready for an exciting ride! While Huggie Bear is a friendly guy, he is a little selective with his canine friends, so he would do best in a home where he’s the only dog or with a dog buddy who shares his energy and play style. Due to his lively and excitable nature, it’s preferred that Huggie Bear go to an adult-only home, where he can get the time, space, and attention he needs to thrive. Once Huggie Bear settles into his new home, prepare for an outpouring of love and affection. This sweet boy has so much to give, and when he bonds with his people, he will shower them with all the cuddles and tail wags he can muster. He has already been neutered and is fully available for adoption. If you’re looking for a playful, loving, and spirited companion to add some excitement and joy to your life, Huggie Bear might be the perfect match for you!

Story
Meet Rusty, our goofy, playful, long tongued boy. Frisbee or agility anyone??? Obedience Trained , House trained and Crate Trained Rusty is a playful, energetic pooch who is 7 years old and about 60 lb.! We think he looks like a black mouth cur,, possibly with some rhodesian ridgeback, but who knows for sure. He's got a long tongue that was just made for giving lots of doggie kisses . He also absolutely loves to lounge in a doggie pool filled with ice or ride with you in your truck or jeep. In the winter he loves romping in the snow. .Rusty is a smart boy. He picks his leash up with his mouth and sits at the door waiting to go outside! Just check out the video in his profile.Although he loves kids, he wouldn't be a good fit for young children, as he might accidentally knock them down in his enthusiasm. Rusty loves both kids and adults but is protective of his home. He even snagged a robber in his previous home! What a good boy doing his job. When strangers come, he needs a place where he can go, away from the activity. He is SO sweet, smart, and funny. He deserves a great life and is looking for his forever home. Could you be the one?
