Story
Hippo is a 6yr old little brick potato! She’s always happy and ready for an adventure. She is the perfect passenger princess, is housebroken, crate trained (although she doesn’t need it), fully vetted and does well with other dogs her size. Little dogs and cats are a no. She is not high energy, but is always excited to make new friends. She was rescued from an orange grove as a puppy and was even featured on The Dodo a few years ago as her recovery story is incredible. Healthy, happy and loved - life just has a way of throwing us curve balls now and then and Hippo needs a new family to continue her adventures with.

Story
Meet, Gamora! A 2 year old, female, Bully mix. Gamora loves to play! Her favorite toys have squeakers in them but, if you give her a stuffed to she will shred it in record time! LOL She enjoys being brushed and petted, she will even lay like a frog so you can do a good job brushing her. Gamora loves to play in water so baby pools are a must as she likes to cool off in them and take her toys for a swim too! Gamora can be timid with new faces and once she is with you a short while she warms up pretty quickly! She would do best in a home with older children 16 and up as she can be too rough when she plays. Gamora needs to be your one and only pet as she does not do well with other animals so no going to the dog park with this one. Gamora needs a home with a 6 foot tall fenced yard as she is very athletic and can and will easily jump over a small fence being energetic she needs plenty exercise to run and play. She is crate trained so when you leave her alone you will need to crate her as she will be naughty while you are gone! Being a smart girl Gamora knows how to sit by verbal command or hand gesture. She can stand, lay down and is learning to go to her bed by and gesture too. Gamora is now ready to find her loving FUR-ever home.

Story
Coda is a brown and black male Black Mouth Cur mix. He is approximately 4 years old. Coda gets along well with adults and children.

Coda has been described as a lap dog, calm but energetic, full of kisses, a jumper, and an all around gentle guy. He is fully potty trained to use a doggie door, but may need some training if transitioning to a new home without one.
