Story
Bruno and his brother were found living under a deck. Finder completed vetting (neuter and vaccines) and now the boys are looking for their forever homes! They are dog friendly and love to play chase. Bruno is a typical heeler when playing with other dogs and will nip playfully to get a good game of chase going. He does not nip at people though! Bruno is crate trained and mostly potty trained, dog friendly, and has had minimal exposure to cats with no problems (no direct contact yet!) Playful, sweet, smart as all get out, Bruno is ready to be your best friend!

Story
My dog recently had a litter of puppies before I was able to get her spayed. I am looking for good homes for each of them. Bao is a fun loving puppy with lots of excitement and energy. He is very curious and loves to play. He would do well with someone who takes him on long walks and spends plenty of time with him. Bao is vaccinated, dewormed, beginning to potty train, beginning behavioral training and comes with a toy, leash, collar, some puppy food, and a blanket with mom and siblings’ scent. He will be old enough for his new home on April 30th.

Story
Hi, I’m Waffle! I’m a 4-year-old pit/lab mix with a heart full of love and a strong passion for cuddling (I’m basically a professional snuggler). At about 60 pounds, I’m just the right size to keep you warm during movie nights or lazy Sunday mornings. I’m also an absolute champion when it comes to playing ball; seriously, I could go for hours! If you’re looking for a partner to help keep your throwing arm in shape, I’m your pup. I adore my adult humans and would prefer not to be around other animals or small children. I need a home where I can be the star of the show, soaking up all the love and attention. If you’re ready to provide me with a cozy home, lots of playtime, and endless belly rubs, I promise to fill your life with unconditional love and joy. Are you ready to make me a part of your family?
