Story
Bailey (A136685) is a 5-year-old Lab x Chow Chow mix who weighed 58.1 pounds on intake!11/19/24 This beautiful girl is Bailey! Bailey was surrendered to the shelter due to no fault of her own. She was stated to be spoiled rotten and used to cuddling up in bed or on the couch with her owner. Snuggling up under the covers or a nice fluffy blanket is an extra bonus! Bailey was said to be housebroken and to generally mind well. However, she was known to jump up on people, and because of that, her prior owner felt she would do best in a home without young children that she might accidentally knock over. Bailey was known to bark at strangers, especially when they approached her home. She was also said to take a while to warm up to other dogs and could initially be protective of her owner and space. Bailey might do best in a home without other dogs or with an understanding owner who can slowly introduce her into their home. Bailey was known to have a rough style of play and liked having hard chew toys to play with. She was also known to dig when outdoors. Bailey was said to be an outgoing, friendly, and affectionate dog and has been an absolute sweetheart to the care staff at the shelter! If you want to meet her and keep spoiling her like the princess she is, please let us know! November 19, 2024, 11:06 pm

Story
Nallah (A136666) is a 5-year-old Lab x Pitty mix who weighed 63.9 pounds on intake!11/18/24 This sweet girl is Nallah! Nallah was surrendered to the shelter with her friend Coco due to no fault of their own. Nallah appears to be the bolder of the two and was eager to meet the care staff, whereas Coco was a bit more reserved. Neither of these pups has experience with babies or children. However, with a little time they both have started to let their personalities shine through! Nallah and Coco were both said to be housebroken and to know a variety of commands! They were also said do well with other animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and poultry. Nallah was said to prefer male dogs to females. Ensuring you are making appropriate introductions is key to setting them up for success! Nallah and Coco are also on a limited ingredient diet due to their prior owner notating chicken/beef allergies. They have been doing great at the shelter so far! We are not requiring that Nallah and Coco be adopted together, but if you are looking for a pair that are already established friends, please consider adopting this duo and give us a call!
