Story
We found Winnie by a Dollar General. We have four dogs all ready and she is getting along well with them. She is very happy and has a lot of energy. She is very wiggly and excited. She does pee when excited and nervous. She is very people friendly and I think she would do well with kids. She is about a year old and needs training but I have not noticed any behavioral red flags. She has a lot of energy so she needs more attention than we can currently give her. She looks like a lab/shepherd mix.

Story
Linus is a sweet boy! My living situation and job have changed recently, and I am not able to meet his needs the same way I used to. I am looking for a compatible home for this loving boy! Linus was born with swimmer’s puppy syndrome and his front legs do not fully extend. That doesn’t stop him from getting around! He has full mobility in his back legs. He still runs, jumps, and plays. Linus has a wheelchair, but he does not need it to get around the house or go outside in grassy areas to use the restroom. He does love to get in it, so he can go on walks outside on the sidewalk or run around to play in the back yard. It’s one of his favorite activities. Linus is high energy and great with kids. He will jump and want to play as soon as he meets people and other dogs. He’s patient with little kids and will typically meet them at their level to say hello. Linus is great about communicating his boundaries. He will give a little growl when he wants you to stop, but he doesn’t bite.
