He is looking for a furever home where he is the only animal. He enjoys walks, and loves foods and snacks. A good back scratcher his person will need to be.

Story
Butterfree is about a year old terrier mix. This boy is shy of guys but enjoys women and kids. His trust can be earned in time. We think the male that lived with him was not very nice to him. He would have to meet any dogs, and we think he lived with cats.**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter

Story
Blackbird is a happy guy who loves to play ball. He would need to meet any other dogs, but he enjoys (10 and up) kids and did we mention playing ball. When he runs his ears flop, its the cutest thing. This boy was in a home and liked one dog but not the other, he also has some resources guarding issues. We think he would do best as an only dog untill a good trust and bond can be had. He does best with men.**Please fill out an application found on our website under "adopt a pet" and send it in to start adoption process.**All Dog Adoption Fee's are $175 Cats are $100Includes initial Vaccinations, De-Worming, Flea Meds, Heartworm Testing, & Spay/Neuter
