Story

***Daisy`s Adoption fee has been partially sponsored by Dot, Koney, & Duffy. She`s ready to find a home with a $100 adoption fee***Daisy is a sweet and sassy 11-year-old, 48-pound Lab mix who enjoys affection and loves to “talk” when she’s excited. At 11 years old, we no longer want to see Daisy at the shelter. We want to enjoy the bittersweet feeling of missing her and imagine her curled up with her loving family after a long and ever-changing life. Daisy is looking for a stable and committed person to share her golden years with.Daisy will make the perfect companion for a low-energy couple or single person with a quiet home. Daisy loves being outdoors, playing with toys, and going for leisurely walks with her people. She`s most excited to find a person who wants to relax and take naps with her. This smart girl is fully potty trained, knows basic commands, and has excellent manners. She would thrive as the only pet in a home without small children, as she can be particular about her boundaries. Daisy does amazing with every adult she`s met! Daisy is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. You can visit her Tuesdays through Sundays from 8:30 to 5:00 PM!

Story

Meet Fifi! She`s a 9-month-old, 26.8-pound Australian Cattle Dog mix with lots of energy and love. Her favorite activity is meeting new people she can kiss and play with. Fifi previously lived with other dogs, horses, and cats. While she did wonderfully with the dogs and horses, she would do best in a home without cats. She`s a food-motivated girl who knows `sit` and `down` and loves to play with balls and squeaky toys. Fifi still needs some help with potty training, but we think she`ll get it down quickly!Fifi is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines.
