Story
He does not have a dominant or aggressive bone in his body. He is fantastic with other dogs! He is NOT good with cats so if he goes to a home with cats, I recommend separating him from them. He could definitely use more training but otherwise, he is a sweet and playful boy.

Story
This is Maggie. She will be 2 years old in January 2025. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old. I am unfortunately having to rehome her due to a necessary change in jobs and I no longer have the time to give her the love and attention she deserves. Maggie is potty trained and will let you know when she needs to go outside by going to the door and whining. She is very playful and full of energy. She loves to run. She would make a great companion for someone who has the space and time for her.

Story
Beautiful brindle Susie is a 2 year old gal who needs a good home! Requirements: 1) Must give frequent belly rubs 2) Must accept that Susie Q is likely to love you so much, she becomes a Velcro dog. She is dog selective. Must have meet n greet with your dog. Her adoption fee includes spay, microchip, vaccines, and heartworm free/on prevention. Come meet sweet Susie! She has been here for weeks with NO interest at all. She tends to get too excited when someone is coming to see her, and it can be a little off putting! But when she calms down, she's so, so, so, sooooo loving! In a different environment, she will be a totally different dog. She really needs out of here. Can you be her hero?November 3, 2024, 3:56 pm
