Story
Potato may not be the brightest, but she doesn't let it slow her down. She's a bit of a velcro dog and loves to curl up next to her people when it's time to relax. She's a big fan of the outside (especially colder weather) but loves it even more when you go with her. She's a big fan of playing in the hose too. She can get very vocal, so be prepared to know about every delivery, squirrel, and leaf that crosses the yard. She has no issues with the 2 male dogs she's in frequent company of, but we're unsure of how she'll respond to female dogs or unknown dogs in general. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations.

Story
Willow loves you already and she hasn’t even met you yet! She is a friendly and happy 12 year old gal who loves to be part of the action. She loves to be outside when you are but also appreciates a good snuggle. She enjoys shorter walks now, playing ball, food and a good belly rub. Willow is a border collie mix, about 70 pounds who is fully vetted, desexed and leash trained. She is also house trained and knows basic commands. Since she is a senior gal, when it is time to catching some zzzs, she may do some snoring. You can leave her in the house for hours without issues but be prepared, she will greet you with a wagging tail and lots of kisses when you come home. Willow would like to join a family with adults or older children so she can get her share of attention. She has lived with a cat for the past 6 years however would prefer to be the only dog. If you can give her that, you will have a loyal friend for life.

Story
UPDATE Sissy as shown in the newest picture priviously an only dog shows that she has. decided to smuggle with another furry friend, who knew? a very peasant surprise indeed. She proves that seniors can do new things. UPDATE 9/4/24 Sissy has had a chiropractor adjustment. She is warming up to people. Knowing that she was raised by a lady in an apartment lets us know how comfortable she would be in a similar situation. She also "Baroo"'s when she wants to go outside to potty. Her weight looks good on her at 27#'s now. One other dog for a companion would be ideal and multiple dogs may overwhelm her as something she isn't used to during her 16 yrs. Time spent acclimating her to more dogs may do her good to learn. Sissy can be left alone for a period of time, would curl up and sleep Im sure. Sissy, 16 yrs old in March 2024, was taken in from a one time owner who is currently in a Nursing Home. This wonderful lady spent some time overweight but is now at a prime 28#'s. She is spayed, agile with a very slight limp, takes treats gently, has been in mulitple dog homes for visits, on thyroid medication controlled and maintained. She lived in a first floor apartment but has shown she can do steps. Sissy can potty on leash or in a fenced in area. She isn't a typical lap dog but friendly loves to be petted on the head. As with all dogs Sissy learned silly habits and if you scratch her back end she thinks shes going outside for a walk. She keeps a subtle awareness of her surroundings.

Howdy! My name is Blu! I am a Handsome , 9 year old bulldog mix . I am fully vetted and potty trained. I am not only smart but active & I love to go for walks, explore! I have alot of energy for my age so you will get your steps in for sure! I LOVE LOVE to just snuggle & am always ready to watch movies or share dinner ! I will chase a ball & will entertain you with my witty personality! I walk well on a leash, knows "sit" "stay" "wait" "back" and "down" "leave it". I wait to go out of the house and come back in. He loves to watch the world go by out the window. He needs a 6' fence so he can zoom. I love humans & I dont mind older children (over 15 )who are respectful. I definetely need a home committed to giving me exercise! I loves hiking, walking, & I sleep very well when worn out at the end of the day! PS I do love to nap in the sun too! I sometimes have anxiety if I do not get the daily exercise so please know I will settle in with an active lifestyle.. I even have my very own trainer to help me acclimate to my new home!!!

Story
Heya, I’m Enzo, a 14lb, 6-month-old Hound mix. I’m hoping I can find a furever family who will give me all the toys to play with! I’m a super playful pup who loves to explore. I get along with other dogs, but I haven’t been around kids or cats enough to know if I’m fond of them. At my age, though, I like just about everyone and everything! I’m still in my puppy phase, so I’ll need a family who will work with me on potty training and walking on a leash. I’m almost fully crate-trained! I’m generally quiet in my crate, and enjoy sleeping in it at night, but will still have the occasional accident. I’m the sweetest boy ever, so I’m hoping you’ll give me a chance! Fill out an application to meet me ASAP! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. Age: 6 months Adoption fee: $500

Story
Meet Joey - a 2-month-old, 7lb Terrier mix looking for his forever family. Joey is a young pup with a heart full of love and a nose that’s usually pointed straight at you! Joey stays glued to his person in the most heart-melting way. He’s not an adventurous wanderer—he’d much rather stay close, cuddle up, and follow your every move like your tiniest, furriest shadow. Whether you're folding laundry or watching Netflix, Joey’s the kind of pup who’s happiest right by your side. Joey loves to play with other dogs, chase the kids around the yard, and then crash into a puppy pile of snuggles. His playful energy is balanced by his soft, loyal nature. Joey is still a baby, so he’ll need a family committed to continuing his training and helping him grow into the amazing dog he’s destined to be. This sweet, snuggly little guy is still learning the ropes of puppyhood like potty training, remembering that people aren’t chew toys, and perfecting his “sit". What Joey lacks in experience, he more than makes up for in pure affection. If you're looking for a cuddle buddy with a playful spirit, Joey is ready to be your forever shadow. Fill out an application to meet Joey ASAP! All dogs available for adoption are in foster homes. Please do not visit the location as it is a privately run boarding, training, and grooming facility. Meet and greets are scheduled by appointment only for approved adopters. Age: 2 Months Adoption fee: $500
