Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This dog came to us by way of a friend that stayed with us for a time. That friend has unfortunately been sent to prison and is no longer associated with our family. Dax is a sweet boy that loves affection and snuggles. He’s been neutered and is up to date on shots. He’s a little too energetic for my almost 10 year old XL Bully and we’re too busy of a family to give him the attention he deserves. We hope that he can go to a family that can spend a lot of time with him and give him all of the love that he craves.

Story

Are you ready to meet the bravest good boy!My name is Hudson, just like the river, and just like a river my friends say I give them a feeling of zen calm when they hang out with me. I`m usually a mellow, sensitive dude, but don`t be fooled, I am the goofiest, sweetest, most playful guy once I`m comfortable with you.My favorite things include playing tag, chasing you while you hold my toys, zoomies that cause his booty to move faster than my paws, and I really enjoy a good gentle cuddle. I am smart and VERY food motivated which is a good tool for learning new tricks.I have potential with other dogs and mature kiddos, but no kitty cats please. I`ve gotten so brave with help from my friends at the shelter, and I`m ready to meet new friends! To learn more about me, ask my bffs! (aka the staff)
