Story
Molly is a super special girl who is very sweet and loving. She wants nothing more than to be with you full time. She can be a little overwhelming to little ones with her affection depending on the child. Our youngest she is a little overwhelming for. She is good with other dogs and does fine with our cat. She needs someone who can give her tons of attention, she would do best in a home as the only dog or only one other dog. Not because of any aggression problems but just so she isn’t feeling like she isn’t getting the attention she deserves. She would make an excellent farm dog or would be great with someone looking for a best friend. We really do love her but with our youngest being a bit overwhelmed by her we’re not able to give her to time she needs. She loves to give hugs and always has a smile on her face, and she will greet you as if you’re the best thing to ever happen to her. She is spayed as well.

Story
Kip is a great dog, however he is very silly. He loves to be outside, play fetch with sticks, and loves a good bone. He definitely needs room to run as he has lived on a farm his entire life. He hates baths, but loves to take a swim in the pond. I would love for him to go to an active and loving family where he could be free to roam around. He has never been on a leash. He will bark at strangers, but has never shown aggression towards them. He has grown up with older children. I have never let toddlers or babies get in his face so I don’t know how he would do with small children. We are needing to rehome him because we are moving out of state. Our next home does not have the things he needs for a good quality of life.

Needs a kid who plays ball. Fetch is his most fun thing to do! Older guy, good with all other animals, livestock too! Hates thunderstorms and fireworks, so he will need to be inside during this, but likes being outside alot as well. He is housetrained, dont much like crates, but ok to do when mopping the floors if you add a good chew bone in there : ) Is a good porch pup! Barks only when a car drives up.

Story
Both front legs handicapped! birth defect due to backyard breeder. He can hobble across the floor to go out to potty, kinda like a kangaroo, and he can play in the grass which he loves, and with some toys as well. He is sweet. Very, but wiggles, and wiggles and wiggles when happy. Loves to play at his foster parents home with their dog Charlie the rotty. . He has a wheelchair but the flooring has to be smooth and he really doesn't like or need it unless on a long walk.. We are hoping for prosthetics and have at least at this point made one contact. He has been featured on Nickelodeon. He walks like a kangaroo, and tries to jump up and give you attention but has no legs to hold himself onto you if you are standing, but he is a lap dog. He needs the PERFECT place, is your place that place? We require all families foster the first two weeks to be sure this sweet animal will fit in and be part of your family, otherwise we want him back, we love him. He's a well rounded pup cared for by our wonderful foster family and gets along with other animals and people.
