Story
Benelli is a female spayed 4 year old lab mix. She lives outside full time, she's in a fenced in backyard with an 8ftx10ft shed that she can go in for shelter. Unsure of how she would do inside because she isn't housetrained, and genuinely loves being outside. Does well with other dogs, but not cats. Unsure of how she would be with children, as I have a two year old that she plays with, but she's a rough player and likes to jump. She loves attention and to play fetch with anything, she also loves to get in the water! She is a very sweet and loving dog but doesn't get the stimulation that she needs and I would love for her to go to someone who is home more during the day as my job keeps me away from the house for more than 10 hours a day and keeps me from giving her the attention that she needs and deserves.

Story
Grizzly is a high drive, 4 year old(12/12/20), male GSD. He is highly intelligent, knows basic commands, and is off leash trained. He gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children when properly introduced. He is well socialized but he was born to work. He’s a Velcro dog who is very loyal and devoted to his people. Grizzly needs someone who can spend time and energy into giving him a job. We love him dearly but as our children have gotten older, our schedules have gotten busier, he just isn’t getting the stimulation he requires.

 Vidalia is a one year old female Pit mix, who is very friendly and always ready to make new friends! Her zest for life is contagious, and she’s guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. She is an active girl who loves to run… Vidalia is sure to entertain you with her “zoomies” when she initially gets in the fenced-in park! She also enjoys showing off how agile she can be, as she leaps over any obstacle or jumps up to catch a ball. Vidalia is on her way to becoming a reliable Fetch companion, and with some training, she could easily excel in agility sports. Her enthusiasm and intelligence make her a fast learner and a joy to train. The only thing that this sweet-natured pup is missing is a loving home to call her very own. So please meet Vidalia to give her that chance, and you will be so glad that you did. Vidalia will be forever grateful and love you with all of her heart!

Story
Ferris is an almost one year old Hound mix, who is a sweet and gentle boy. He is currently living with his brother Cam, and tends to be the shyer of the two. He often hangs back and lets his brother greet new people first. But you can tell that Ferris REALLY wants to be a part of the action - he will hesitantly approach, then back away, until finally he hops over to check you out. It’s absolutely adorable! Once Ferris is comfortable with you, his happy smile shines through (and often), and his spots add to his handsome charm. He is also quickly picking up the joys of leash walking, and he especially enjoys spending time in the park to explore new scents and sights. More than anything, he longs to be in a loving home and cherished by his family. Could that be with you? Please meet Ferris soon, and see for yourself! The adoption fee covers the following: spay or neuter surgery; one-year rabies vaccine; feline or canine distemper vaccine; heartworm test (dogs) or combo (fiv/felv) test (cats); deworming; and microchip.
