Story
Ghost is a sweet loving pup, he can be crazy at times and with a baby soon to be in the house we just can’t keep up with him and a baby. He is 3 years old, weighs about 65 pounds, he loves being outside especially in the colder months although he is an inside pup, we have a fenced in yard and have he has jumped it and ran off when left unsupervised but always came back so be warned he’s a flight risk. He’s somewhat food protective when other dogs are around, he loves looking out windows but rarely barks unless somebody’s at the door. I hate we can’t keep him as he really is a good dog, I just want to find him a new loving home that will allow him to keep living his best life and give him the attention he needs.

Story
Gizmo is a 5-year-old Beagle Hound mix.  He would like to be king of his castle and live his best life as an only dg. He is looking for a home that includes car rides and snuggles. He is probably not a good fit for a home with kids unless they have lots of dog experience. Due to his history of lack of food, he is very protective of his food which could cause issues with kids. Out of respect for our foster’s time and privacy we do NOT arrange meet and greets without an application on file.
