Story
Hey, Topper has been incredible for us these past five years and we’re only looking to find someone to adopt him because we have two under two in a small trailer and our sons take all of our attention and think he deserves a better home. He’s the best dog I’ve ever had/lived with BY FAR. He’s fun and energetic and is still in his prime at a little over 5 years old. We got him because people were just giving him away when he was a puppy and I fell in love with the guy. I just want to give him to someone that’s going to love him as much as we have and give him a great and better life at this time. ***I waived any adoption fee because I haven’t gotten his yearly shots this year, but we have around two months of Purina Pro Plan dog food and eight months of Simparica Trio. With that, the costs should average out, but we wouldn’t charge anyone anyway as you’d be doing us and Topper a favor. We also have treats, toys, leashes, & crate***

Story
Hi there, I'm Gene! My friends say I'm a real goofball, always ready to make them laugh with my funny antics. I'm pretty smart too, I've mastered all the games they give me here. My energy is contagious, and I love to play. But don't worry, I also know when it's time to be gentle and cuddly. I've got the best smile around, sure to brighten your day. I get along great with other dogs. I've had my heartworm treatment, so I'm ready to go. I'm just a sweet, social guy looking for a family to share all this love with. Why should you adopt me? Well, I promise to bring joy, laughter, and lots of cuddles to your home. Plus, you'll never find a more loyal friend than me!

Story
This hunk of muscle is Goliath and although he looks like he bench presses in his kennel he is a big teddy bear just looing for a couch to cuddle on. He is a pretty strong guy on leash and has some things to learn about life but who know what his past life was like for him to not have been though somethings. Goliath get along with most other dogs, but he would do best in a home where he would not be around intact male dogs, neutered boys are fine in his book though! Goliath is still young and would love a home that can help him figure out the tricks of the world we live in.

Story
Sweet Lovey girl is as tall as she is thick, but trust us you won't need a blanket when cuddling with her. This girl has a heart of pure gold and loves the company of people. From hike to a nap she can do it all and will do it with a smile. You will struggle to find a dog so loving as her and she would be the perfect companion for a majority of households, as long as you don't have cats. Lovey is an amazing girl and is worth her weight in gold.
