Story
Sadie is a 6-year-old, 85-pound improbable mix of German Shepherd and Shar Pei. This is a confirmed and not speculative breed mix. Go figure. Sadie is not the most attractive dog we have. I get this. This is the dog equivalent of what happens when you cross a supermodel and a rock star. Genetics when only one parent is leggy and gorgeous is sometimes less kind to the offspring and you end up with awkwardness. That's where we are here - tiny head with strange ears on a giant body with a little tail. When she runs, she kind of resembles a demented velociraptor and she is all awkward angles. I am sure you are reading this and are going to tell me how pretty she is and while I appreciate that and love her for what she is, this dog next to a golden retriever is going to get zero attention. It is an absolute fact that people are shallow and it's why weather forecasters on your news shows are always wearing skin-tight dresses and are not 55-year-old, size 18 women who are doing the actual forecasting. Sadie is a very good girl and she deserves a home. Sadie has done well in a home with other dogs, but she prefers they be mellow and not jump on her. She is not good with cats and she would eat them. Sadie is impeccably well-trained and she knows a lot of commands. She is housebroken and well-mannered and she is a charming dog one-on-one. She is also a powerful athlete that has more in common with her German Shepherd side of things and she loves her walks. She needs 20 minutes of hard running in a back yard daily and then she's happy. She is full of kisses and does not know a stranger as she loves all people. Given how strong this dog is, kids over 12 would be fine. This is a fantastic dog for the right home.

Story
Meet Maddie, the 4-year-old queen of chill! She’s got a sweet, playful vibe and is a pro at hanging with dogs her size—unless they get annoying, then she gracefully taps out like a true lady. Maddie’s still mastering her leash manners (hey, nobody's perfect), but with some consistency, she's making great strides! She’s the perfect fit for a moderately active home, where she can enjoy long walks, splash around in water, and show off her impressive stick-fetching skills. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving companion, Maddie’s your girl!  October 25, 2024, 12:14 am
