Story
Koda is a fun loving Akita. He enjoys cuddles, treats, and running at the dog park. He is a big goofball ball. He knows some basic commands, is house-trained, kennel-trained, and is a quick learner, although he does get excited for his treats. He can be a talker. Lol He is a bit timid when meeting new people but warms up to you quickly. He hasn't been around a lot of other dogs. Sadly, I have to rehome him due to loss of income and moving out of state. Just want him to go to a good home that can give him lots of cuddles, affection, and become his best friend!

Story
Ziggy is a playful young pup, about 2 years old. He is in a household that has cats and kids. Although the cats aren't his friends he loves playing with the other dogs and lots of tummy rubs. We hate to admit it but with our busy schedules we can no longer provide him with the adequate amount of attention that he needs. We hope to find him a home that has a yard so he can really stretch his legs. He needs a family that can provide him with the time to give him the attention and love he deserves.

Brownie is one of four of Hill Hounds Rescue's puppies from "Willow's" litter. He's 16 lbs with typical puppy energy and ready to find a home of his own. These little guys were not given the greatest start in life - so we are currently treating their skin. Now that they're in a great foster home - they're getting better every day! His adoption fee is $450.00. His Mom Willow is a 26 pound mystery mix breed as well who can also be found on the Hill Hounds available dogs to adopt. ##1908451##

Story
Nova is a sweet young 1 year old 55 lb Chocolate Labrador Retriever bonded with her buddy Eddie. Nova and Eddie must be adopted together (total $800 adoption fee for both Labs). They're new to the rescue so stay tuned for more details once we've had a chance to get to know them in foster care. Her previous owner that surrendered the two Labs to the shelter did report some separation anxiety by vocalizing excessively when they leave. Nova is more reserved than Eden, but she does warm up with time. She loves to play and enjoys treats! ##1910556##

Story
Ember is an almost 2 year old German Shepherd, with some obedience training as well as the beginning stages of bite work. She is sweet and loving with a very protective nature. She is very good with kids. Does not seem to tolerate cats and can be protective around other dogs. She is not required to be spayed, not sure why the listing says this.
